| Product Certification with VOLTHA |
| ================================= |
| |
| VOLTHA is part fo the `continuous certification program at ONF <https://opennetworking.org/continuous-certification-program/>`_. |
| You can see the currently certified products in the `ONF marketplace <https://opennetworking.org/marketplace/?_product_project=voltha>`_. |
| |
| The following document describes the procedure to include and certify an |
| OLT or an ONU with VOLTHA. The process of getting a product certified |
| consists of several phases: |
| |
| - testing and validation with VOLTHA at the vendor premises |
| - showcase of successful integration with VOLTHA to the TST |
| - shipment and integration of the product (OLT/ONU) at a community lab |
| (e.g. Berlin with DT) |
| - Creation of automated CI jobs in Jenkins that start nightly automation tests. |
| - Test maintenance. It's the Vendors and the VOLTHA community responsibility |
| to maintain the created tests. |
| |
| Finally a brief Description of the device and a point of contact need to |
| be sent to `Michelle Roth @ ONF <mroth@linuxfoundation.org>`_ to be |
| showcased in the `marketplace <https://opennetworking.org/marketplace/?_product_project=voltha>`_ after successful verification. |
| |
| Once all these steps are completed the product will be certified for |
| the next release of VOLTHA. Let's describe each phase in detail. |
| |
| Vendor's premises Testing |
| ------------------------- |
| The first step is for the vendor to guarantee that the OLT or the ONU are VOLTHA compatible is complying got ONF's |
| automated sanity test. |
| To do so we suggest setting up a HW test pod according as described in the `physical setup guide <https://docs.voltha.org/master/overview/lab_setup.html>`_. |
| |
| Once the setup is running the next step is running the Sanity tests, as described in the `testing documentation <https://docs.voltha.org/master/voltha-system-tests/README.html#running-tests-on-physical-pod>`_. |
| If those pass the hardware is ready to be shown to the VOLTHA TST. |
| |
| Showcase to VOLTHA TST |
| ---------------------- |
| Once the OLT has passed tests in the Vendor lab it's ready to be showcased to the VOLTHA Technical Steering Team. |
| The request needs to be performed to the Technical TST leader or to `Timon Sloane <timon@opennetworking.org>`_ who will |
| forward the request appropriately. |
| During a scheduled TST meeting (Tuesday 8 AM PST) the vendor will showcase the OLT/ONU to the TST by starting from a |
| fresh VOLTHA instance, connecting the OLT and then performing the Sanity test. |
| With the test passing the TST will give approval for shipment of the device (ONU/OLT) to an ONF community lab. |
| |
| ONF's community lab integration |
| ------------------------------- |
| |
| Once the TST has given approval for device integration in VOLTHA nighly tests the Vendor needs to ship the device to |
| any one of the ONF community lab, including a wiring diagram (if needed) Currently there are two locations: |
| |
| - DT Office in Berlin, Germany. Address: Winterfeldtstraße 21, 10781 Berlin, Germany. Point of contact `Bjoern Nagel @ DT <NagelB@telekom.de>`_ |
| |
| Once the OLT arrives the technicians will rack it and wire it according to |
| the diagram shared. For an OLT the NNI connection will be provided to the |
| AGG switch and all the management will also be connected with management IP |
| assigned according to the network of the pod. |
| |
| For an ONU it will be connected to one of the existing OLTs in the pod, |
| according to space, technology and topology requirements. Once all the |
| racking and wiring is complete the device will appear under the ONF network, |
| accessible via VPN. |
| |
| Automated CI Jobs |
| ----------------- |
| Once the device in included in one of the community pods it's the responsibility of the vendor to integrate |
| it into the nightly VOLTHA tests. This process is done by submitting a series of patches to different repositories. |
| The process is different for ONUs and OLTs. |
| To create jenkins jobs see https://docs.voltha.org/master/testing/voltha_test_automation.html#hardware-or-physical-pod-jobs |
| |
| OLT |
| +++ |
| A new OLT needs a full new configuration, job and data. |
| The job can be created according to the desired workflow to be tested. Information can be found in the |
| `system tests information <https://docs.voltha.org/master/testing/voltha_test_automation.html#hardware-or-physical-pod-jobs>`_ |
| The required patches are: |
| |
| - ci-management. Creates the job that will run in jenkins. Job Example ``https://github.com/opencord/ci-management/blob/master/jjb/voltha-test/voltha-certification.yaml`` |
| - pod configs. Inserts information about the OLT and target ONUs data. `Data example <https://github.com/opencord/pod-configs/blob/master/deployment-configs/menlo-certification-pod-radisys-1600g-DT.yaml>`_ |
| and `kubernetes example <https://github.com/opencord/pod-configs/blob/master/kubernetes-configs/menlo-certification-pod-radisys-1600g.conf>`_ |
| - voltha-system-tests. Adds the sadis configuration for the OLT and the ONU. `Sadis Example <https://github.com/opencord/voltha-system-tests/blob/master/tests/data/menlo-certification-pod-radisys-1600g-sadis-DT.json>`_ |
| |
| Once these are created and merged the job will appear on jenkins and |
| run accordingly. |
| |
| ONU |
| +++ |
| |
| A new ONU it's attached to an existing OLT, so just the information for |
| that ONU needs to be added to the proper OLT files. |
| |
| The required patches are: |
| |
| - pod configs. Inserts information about the ONU into an existing pod. `Info and Target example <https://github.com/opencord/pod-configs/blob/master/deployment-configs/menlo-certification-pod-radisys-1600g-DT.yaml>`_ |
| - voltha-system-tests. Adds the sadis configuration for the ONU. Example `Sadis ONU example <https://github.com/opencord/voltha-system-tests/blob/master/tests/data/menlo-certification-pod-radisys-1600g-sadis-DT.json>`_ |
| |
| Job maintenance |
| --------------- |
| |
| It's the responsibility of the Vendor, the VOLTHA TST and the community at |
| large to mantain, manage and update the job to make sure the OLT gets |
| certified for each of the following VOLTHA releases. |
