Hi Bruno,

I am tyring to install "Virtual All-in-one Simplex Installation<https://docs.starlingx.io/r/stx.8.0/deploy_install_guides/release/virtual/aio_simplex.html>" on baremetal, I understood that you are automating installation process for same deployment config on Virtual environment. Can you please help me for below points.

  *   Can I use same baremetal ISO for VM environment also
  *   Will below scripts automate only VM environment, not bare metal?
  *   I am currently working with latest StarlingX 8 version, is it stable or can we switch starlingX7?

I want to bring up starlingX setup ASAP either on bare metal or on VM,  your automation script helps me for that, please share your script and process to run.

Eagerly waiting for your response.

Thanks,

Prashanthi.

Hi, Prashanthi.

Currently, my team is working on changing some existing Python/Shell scripts, and with our changes so far you can get an installation of StarlingX AIO-SX in VirtualBox from a Debian box without too much trouble (almost 100% automated). For reference:

  *   AIO: Al-In-One, means that the same machine (vm) will have more than one responsibility (controller and worker in this case)
  *   SX: Simplex, means that only a single controller will be used.
I don't know if this is enough for the PoC that you want to do, but in case this helps, our changes are currently under review here: https://review.opendev.org/c/starlingx/tools/+/880870.

Let me know if this is helpful and I can put a quick Shell script together that will get you the code with our changes and perform the installation for you.

Regards,
Bruno.

Hi Greg/Litao,



               We could able to proceed further in ansible playbook execution, but some of the steps failing and also we have doubts in parameter configuration of localhost.yml file, Attaching ansible log can please verify and guide us to bring up the starlingX controller.



Greg,



As we discussed in last meeting can you please give one Point of contact, who can help us in setup bring up, it will be great help if you provide some POC ASAP.



Thanks & Regards,

Prashanthi.M

Hi Prashanthi,



MEC services/app is supposed to be run as a standard k8s workload in pod (deployment, service, etc), you can launch your via kubectl, helmchart, or other ways available on k8s.

And the GPU, High speed NIC, or accelerator support are available in StarlingX which may be used by MEC application.



As I know, there is no publicly announced MEC applications running on StarlingX, but as I can see it is capable to carry the MEC workload you mentioned.



And as Greg pointed, we have many commercial solutions for 5G vRAN solutions.



Best Regards,

Litao

There are commercial solutions for 5G RAN solutions from companies like Samsung that can run on StarlingX.



There is also work on open ran ORAN solutions running on StarlingX.

I have added Litao Gao to TO list.  He may be able to provide pointers to you on how to get and run ORAN on StarlingX.

Hi Greg,



Thanks for quick reply.



Yes Greg, MEC I meant "computing capabilities at the edge of the mobile network, within the Radio Access Network (RAN) and in close proximity to mobile subscribers."



Dose starlingX platform supports to run MEC services or applications?

Do we have any MEC applications available with starlingX, like we have in Akarino blueprints (Ex: 5G cloud Gaming, HD video, Live broadcasting)?

If yes, I want to bring up starlingX platform ASAP, for that I need your support, if possible can we have one teams call and discuss about bring up issues.





Thanks,

Prashanthi.

Hi  Greg,



Yes, we were able to get internet connectivity by running DHCP client command, IP is also getting allocate.

Thanks for your support and working on further configurations.



Have few doubts about that:



  1.  Are all the configurations mandatory, For example I want to run my containers on Kubernetes, is openstack configurations has to be done or optional??
[Greg]  OpenStack is optional.
              There are many users of StarlingX that only use the base StarlingX Kubernetes Platform.
  2.  After completing all setting, if I want run MEC services/applications how to run those containers in this server, do you have any applications available along with starlingX?
  3.  Please share document, if you have any to configure MEC.
[Greg] Are you referring to ? ...   "MEC or Mobile edge Computing provides an IT service environment and cloud-computing capabilities at the edge of the mobile network, within the Radio Access Network (RAN) and in close proximity to mobile subscribers."

Greg.



Thanks,

Prashanthi.M

Subject: RE: Need support for starlingX 8 setup bring up.



Hey Prashanthi,



Before I try to find someone to work closely with you on this ... can you try the following solutions.





So, you say that your ISO install completes and you are able to login as 'sysadmin'  (initial password is 'sysadmin' and you are forced to change it).

But then you have no IP connectivity.



So I learned that automatic DHCP does not seem to be working with our DEBIAN loads (STX 8.0)



So two options for you to try:



  *   Run 'dhclient' manually

     *   RUN THE FOLLOWING:

        *   sudo dhclient <ifname>
        *
        *   WHERE <ifname> is the linux interface name of the interface that is physically cabled to a router that gives you internet access

  *   OR
  *   Configure IP Address and Default IP Route manually

     *   RUN THE FOLLOWING:

        *   sudo ip address add <IP-ADDRESS>/<SUBNET-LENGTH> dev <PORT>
        *   sudo ip link set up dev <PORT>
        *   sudo ip route add default via <GATEWAY-IP-ADDRESS> dev <PORT>
        *   ping 8.8.8.8<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/8.8.8.8__;!!AjveYdw8EvQ!c2QTPp_0Xx4jJQ1vaQ0zzS8EoV_lMJC1vDYkQX4A_lu1YDlpSl_QVoY9Qy8jDH-37W-Z8mDaiGu_C-FhzVo5tRvJvIxZ$>
        *
        *   WHERE <PORT> is the linux interface name of the interface that is physically cabled to a router that gives you internet accdess
              <IP-ADDRESS>/<SUBNET-LENGTH> is the IP ADDRESS for your server (i.e. StarlingX controller-0) based on your local addressing plan
              <GATEWAY-IP-ADDRESS> is the IP ADDRESS of your adjacent router.



Let me know if that works first,

Greg.

Hi Greg,



       Thanks for your suggestion in yesterday's meeting.

       As we discussed in meeting can you please give me one POC name who can help me to bring up StarlingX 8 in my internal PC. I got struck at IP assignment part from long time, I want to bring this up setup ASAP, so your quick support will be helpful.



Thanks & Regards,

Prashanthi.
