The document provides information on installing and using openMANO, an open source platform for network functions virtualization management and orchestration. It describes:
1. The requirements to run openMANO including compute nodes, storage, and OpenFlow controller.
2. The different modes openMANO can run in including normal, host-only, development, and test modes.
3. How to install openMANO either automatically through scripts or manually by downloading packages and configuring components.

openMANO Requirements
• Requirements
• Lightweight python program
• Can run on a VM w/ 1 core & 1 GB RAM
• External components
• Compute nodes
(required in ‘NORMAL’ and ‘HOST-ONLY’ modes)
• Common storage folder. (NAS)
• Control plane interconnection
• No agents are needed, only ssh/libvirt access
• Openflow controler + switch
(required in ‘NORMAL’ mode)

openVIM Configuration
• openvimd.cfg (yaml format):
• Northbound rest API parameters (http)
• _host, _port, _admin_port: iface/port
• Openflow connection (of_controller)
• Database connection (db)
• db_host /db_name: localhost /vim_db
• db_user / db_passwd: vim /vimpw
• Local image path at compute node.
• image_path: /opt/VNF/images
• Control plane interfaces. Pre-
provisioned at compute host
are used for control plane connection
• Compute node iface name, VLAN, speed
• Mode: normal, test, host only,

Features
• Real VM deployment:
• no huge pages > normal memory
• no Data plane > bridge connection
