S3.3 Launch the building pod attaching to the PVC:
Info |
---|
Note: This pod is assumed to be assigned enough resources to launch quickly after FlexRAN is built. If you don’t have isolated CPU, hugepage and accelerator resources configured as part of the system used for building, feel free to remove related content from the yaml spec file. Hugepages-1Gi and intel.com/intel_acc100_fec are not required to perform the build. |

S5 Generate Docker image with FlexRAN binaries
Info |
---|
Note: Since host path/var/run/docker.sock has been mounted into the building pod, you can build the Docker image using the FlexRAN binaries from the previous step inside the building pod. The artifacts used by docker build have been integrated into the build image and are ready to use. |
S5.1 Prepare the env var for the script in /root/docker-image-building/transport.sh
:
Code Block |
---|
|
source /opt/fb/intel/oneapi/setvars.sh
cd /opt/fb/flexran && source ./set_env_var.sh -d |
S5.2 Prepare binaries and scripts for Docker build:
Code Block |
---|
|
cd /root/docker-image-building
./transport.sh |
S5.3 Build Docker image which will be saved in local host:
Code Block |
---|
|
docker build -t flr-run -f Dockerfile . |
...
Code Block |
---|
|
# change to host side, in this case, it should be controller-0 host
sudo docker login registry.local:9001 -u admin -p <your_sysadmin_passwd>
sudo docker tag flr-run registry.local:9001/flxrun:22.03
sudo docker push registry.local:9001/flxrun:22.03
|
S6.2 Launch the FlexRAN Pod.
Adjust the CPU and memory for your configuration. Memory should be more than 32Gi for the test case pass rate.
Info |
---|
Note: command should not be used in the spec, otherwise it will overwrite the default container command which does accelerator PCI address filling for L1. |
