1. RAN-Sim Controller
Steps to build the RAN-Sim Controller setup:
1. Clone and Checkout Ran-Sim Controller(use Dublin branch)
git clone https://github.com/onap-oof-pci-poc/ran-sim.git
cd ran-sim/ransim/
checkout latest master branch.
2. Copy ‘m2_settings.xml’ from ‘<YOURFOLDER>/ransim/’ to <HOME>/.m2/ folder as settings.xml file after updating environment specific configurations.
If the file already exists in <HOME>/.m2/ folder, then merge this file content into the existing file appropriately.
Note Note: settings.xml entries are mandatory to include dependencies.
3. Open the console terminal and navigate to the '<YOURFOLDER>/ransim/ransimctrlr'
4. Run the following command in the terminal
mvn clean install
5. The following capabilities can be modified in the 'ransim.properties' file based on user capabilities and configurations.
...
Maximum number of netconf servers that can run in a single machine(use default value present in the file, which is for a machine of 8 GB RAM)
(A single netconf server uses approximately 350MB).
...
Maximum number of machines available(use default value present in the file).
e) GridSize: (Applicable only for HONEYCOMB representation)
The number of cells that can be accomodated accommodated along one side of the cluster for an autogenerated auto-generated layout.
Eg: A gridsize of 10 will have a 10x10 cluster dimension. Use However, it has no relevance now, as the initial layout is generated from a file. So use default value as 1 for random simulation.
f) strictValidateRansimAgentsAvailability:
A boolean value to check if any Ransim RAN-Sim agents are running (use default value present in the file).
g) sdnrServerIp:
SDNR server IP address (change the value Neglect(Refer point 5 to update SDNR details).
h) sdnrServerPort:
SDNR server port number (change the value Neglect(Refer point 5 to update SDNR details).
i) sdnrServerUserid:
SDNR server user ID (change the valueNegelct (Refer point 5 to update SDNR details).
j) sdnrServerPassword:
SDNR server password (change the valueNegelct (Refer point 5 to update SDNR details).
k) maxPciValueAllowed:
maximum value of the physical cell Id. (Default is 503).
6. To form the cluster from dump file( random simulation ) update the cell details in 'SIM_Ran_config.json'.
File directory:
l)dumpFileName
Location of the dumpfile to load the topology.
The dump file is loaded from '<YOURFOLDER>/ransim/docker/config'. A sample dump file - 'sample.json' contains deatils of 1000 cells.
For the controller to access the dump file from the the above location use the path - /tmp/ransim-install/config/sample.json
5. The SDNR details can be updated in the file '<YOURFOLDER>/ransim/docker/docker-compose.yml'.
environment:
- SDNR_IP={SDNR IP address}
- SDNR_PORT={SDNR port number}
- SDNR_USER={SDNR user ID}
- SDNR_PASSWORD={SDNR user password}
6. Run the following command in the terminal
mvn clean install <YOURFOLDER>/ransim/ransimctrlr/packages/base/src/files/install/servers/ransim/bin/SIM_Ran_config.json
7. After successful build navigate to '<YOURFOLDER>/ransim/docker' directory.
8. Run the following three commands in the terminal -:
'mvn prepare-package'
'docker build -t onap/ransim-demo ransim-docker'
'docker-compose up'
Note: Use docker compose version 1.6.0 or above.
Once the docker and mariadb is built simillar commands as shown in the image will be displayed.
ransim and mariadb containers are started, you can see logs similar to below image
9. Access the GUI using the following url in the web browser -:
‘http://<yourIP>:8081/ransimui/index.html’html
10. Access the swagger ui using the following url -:
‘http://<yourIP>:8081/ransim/api/swagger-ui.html’html
11. Try the following url in Websocket client extension in the web browser to verify the connectivity:
‘ws://<yourIP>:8081/ransim/RansimAgent/hai’
...
1. Open the console and enter the following command -:
'docker ps'
2. Once the container details is displayed enter the following command -:
docker exec -it <CONTAINER ID> ransim bash
3. Navigate to '/opt/app/policy/servers/ransim/logs' using the cd command.
4. Execute the following command to check the logs -:
'tail -f ransim-rest.log'
...
1. Enter the following command in console to access mysql -:
'mysql --user=root --password=secret --host=127.0.0.1 --port=43306 3306 ransim_db'
2. Type 'show tables;' to check the and access the tables.
2. RAN-Sim: Netconf-server(s) (agents) - Extended Honeycomb
This has the following steps:
A. Cloning and building Honeycomb (base) repository
B. Cloning and building enodebsim repository
A. HoneyComb Repository
Clone using following URL:
git clone https://gerrit.fd.io/r/honeycomb
cd honeycomb/
Checkout using the following ChangeId which is part 08_10 version(current release):
git checkout e9d3785d0603bf6e024affafc735641ee312b675
Note: Other versions has installation issues related to dependencies download.
Then do,
mvn clean install
B. enodebsim Repository
This repository has the code we developed.
1. Clone(use Dublin branch) and checkout the latest:
git clone https://github.com/onap-oof-pci-poc/ran-sim.git https://github.com/onap-oof-pci-poc/ran-sim.git
git checkout Dublin
cd hcsim-content/
2. Copy ‘m2_settings.xml’ from ‘<YOURFOLDER>/honeycombsim/’ to <HOME>/.m2/ folder as settings.xml file after updating environment specific configurations.
If the file already exists in <HOME>/.m2/ folder, then merge this file content into the existing file appropriately.
3. Copy the enodebsim folder to honeycomb folder mentioned in the previous step.
cp –r enodebsim/ <Your_Folder>/honeycomb/
4. Copy & paste below entry in honeycomb/pom.xml, under <modules>
<module>enodebsim</module>
5. Do the foll. next:
cd <Your_Folder>/honeycomb/
mvn -Dcheckstyle.skip clean install
Note: checkstyle skipped because its not accepting the proposed LICENSE text format in the java source file header comment.
Build should be successful for the following artifacts
enodebsim-api
enodebsim-impl
enodebsim-distribution
enodebsim-aggregator
6. Copy the below folder to a new location:
<Your_Folder>/honeycomb/enodebsim/enodebsim-distribution/target/enodebsim-distribution-1.18.10-hc/enodebsim-distribution-1.18.10
7. Rename it to hc_50001(any appropriate name)
cp –R <Your_Folder>/honeycomb/enodebsim/enodebsim-distribution/target/enodebsim-distribution-1.18.10-hc/enodebsim-distribution-1.18.10 <NewLocation>/hc_50001/
Example repository after executing steps (A) and (B):
1. Single instance of HoneyComb Simulator(configured with port 50000) created for our reference and committed in the below repository path.
git clone https://github.com/onap-oof-pci-poc/ran-sim/Netconf-Agents/
cd Netconf-Agents/hc_50000
it has few configuration files intended to be modified with current environment configuration settings (details given below).
2. Copy below folders from hc_50000, to this new simulator instance(50001):
modules/
config/
yang-mapping/
var/
cp <Your_Folder>/hc_50000/ransom.properties <Your_Folder>/hc_50001/
3. Modify below property file,
<Your_Folder>/hc_50001/ransim.properties,
based on the environment setup and port could be 50001 in this case(Run any number of simulators with different ports).
1. enodebsimIp
Simulator Ip Address, where the HoneyComb instance(hc_50001) is running. eg., 10.143.125.163
2. enodebsimPort
Port number in which Simulator instance to be started. eg., 50001
3. ransimCtrlrIp
Ran-Sim controller Ip Address, to communicate cell topology details. eg.,10.143.125.147
4. ransimCtrlrPort
Port number in which ran-sim controller is started. eg.,8081
4. Similarly, edit the port number(netconf-ssh-binding-port) in the following configuration file to be in sync with ransim properties file.
<Your_Folder>/hc_50001/config/ netconf.json
Start HoneyComb Simulator
cd <Your_Folder>/hc_50001/
./honeycomb
For multiple instance,
Copy the EnodebSimSetup.py, start.sh and stop.sh from <Your_Folder>/Netconf-Agents/ folder to the folder in which hc_50000 is copied,
- Run EnodebSimSetup.py with the number of instances required.
./EnodebSimSetup.py 24 (for 24 instances) - Then run start.sh, which will start all the honeycomb servers in the folder(in this case all 24 agents will be started)
- Use stop.sh, to stop all the netconf servers.
Use netstat command to verify all the honeycomb servers are started.
netstat -navp | grep 500
Check the honeycomb.log in the below folder
<Your_Folder>/hc_50001/var/log/honeycomb/
tail -f honeycomb.log
Successful start yield below log entries,
2018-10-16 14:02:19.975 IST [main] INFO i.f.h.i.d.i.InitializerRegistryAdapter - Honeycomb initialized
2018-10-16 14:02:19.975 IST [main] INFO io.fd.honeycomb.infra.distro.Main - Configuration initialized successfully
2018-10-16 14:02:19.975 IST [main] INFO io.fd.honeycomb.infra.distro.Main - Honeycomb started successfully!
And search for below keyword, to make sure the successful connectivity with Ransim Controller:
