Servers, Software, and Network Devices Tested

Node Servers and Servers Tested in Contrail Service Orchestration

CSO uses commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) node servers or servers for both the centralized and distributed deployments for the following functions:

CSO central and regional servers
Contrail Analytics servers
Contrail Cloud Platform in the centralized deployment

Table 3 lists the node servers and servers that have been tested for these functions in CSO. You should use these specific node servers or servers for CSO.

Table 3: COTS Node Servers and Servers Tested in the Cloud CPE and SD-WAN Solutions

Option	Vendor	Model	Type
1	QuantaPlex	T41S-2U 4-Node server	Multinode server accepting 4 nodes
2	Supermicro	SuperServer Model SYS-2028TPHC1TR-OTO-4	Multinode server accepting 4 nodes
3	Dell	PowerEdge R420 rack server	1U rack-mounted server

Software Tested for COTS Servers

Table 4 shows the software that has been tested for CSO. You must use these specific versions of the software when you implement CSO.

Table 4: Software Tested for the COTS Nodes and Servers

Description	Version
Operating system for all COTS nodes and servers	Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS Note: Ensure that you perform a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS on the CSO servers in your deployment because upgrading from a previous version to Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS might cause issues with the installation.
Operating system for VMs on CSO servers	Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS for VMs that you configure manually and not with the provisioning tool. The provisioning tool installs Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS in all VMs.
Hypervisor on CSO servers	KVM provided by the Ubuntu operating system on the server or VMware ESXi Version 5.5.0
Additional software for CSO servers	Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP)
Software defined networking (SDN) for a centralized deployment	Contrail Cloud Platform Release 3.2.5 with Heat v2 APIs
Contrail Analytics	Contrail Release 4.0.3.0-162

Network Devices and Software Tested for the Contrail Cloud Platform (Centralized Deployment)

The Contrail Cloud Platform has been tested with:

The network devices described in Table 5.
The software described in Table 6.
You must use these specific versions of the software for CSO Release 3.3.0.
