RANPM Installation Guide

Introduction

This document describes the installation of RANPM, configuration of pm-log jobs and finally pushing PM report using RANPM

Setting Up Kubernetes Environment

  1. Deploy kubernetes cluster v1.24

sudo kind create cluster --config - << EOF
kind: Cluster
apiVersion: kind.x-k8s.io/v1alpha4
nodes:
  - role: control-plane
    extraPortMappings:
      - containerPort: 31784
        hostPort: 31784
        protocol: TCP
      - containerPort: 31823
        hostPort: 31823
        protocol: TCP
      - containerPort: 31767
        hostPort: 31767
        protocol: TCP
    image: kindest/node:v1.24.17@sha256:bad10f9b98d54586cba05a7eaa1b61c6b90bfc4ee174fdc43a7b75ca75c95e51
EOF

# Enable k8s cluster to be ascessed by normal user
sudo cp -r  /root/.kube $HOME/
sudo chown -R $USER $HOME/.kube
  1. Deploy Istio v1.23.2

curl -L https://istio.io/downloadIstio | ISTIO_VERSION=1.23.2  sh -
cd istio-1.23.2/
export PATH=$PWD/bin:$PATH
istioctl install
  1. Build & Load Local Images

# Clone RANPM
git clone "https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/nonrtric/plt/ranpm"
cd ranpm/

# Build & Load 'pm-https-server' Image
cd https-server/
./build.sh no-push
kind load docker-image pm-https-server:latest

# Build & Load 'pm-rapp' Image
cd pm-rapp/
./build.sh no-push
kind load docker-image pm-rapp:latest

Note: For More Build Options, refer to Readme of both components

Deploying RANPM

  1. Make sure the following dependencies are installed:

# Helm, jq, openssl
curl https://baltocdn.com/helm/signing.asc | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/helm.gpg > /dev/null
sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https --yes
echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/helm.gpg] https://baltocdn.com/helm/stable/debian/ all main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/helm-stable-debian.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install helm jq openssl

# For Keytool (Install java)
sudo apt install openjdk-21-jre-headless

# Confirm the installations
type openssl helm jq envsubst keytool
  1. Deploying RANPM

cd ./ranpm/install
nano helm/global-values.yaml # Edit to change any default parameter
sudo bash ./install-ranpm.sh
  1. Verify Deployment

Troubleshooting RANPM Deployment

  1. Deployment stuck waiting for Kafka-client

Update ‘quorumListenOnAllIPs: true’ at Zookeeper config & then Reinstall

+++ b/install/helm/nrt-base-1/charts/strimzi-kafka/templates/app-kafka.yaml

Pushing PM Reports

  1. Configure JobDefination of influxlogger

Configure the default filter in jobDefinition.json as

Reinstall pm-log

cd ./ranpm/install
# Re-install PM-Log
sudo bash ./uninstall-pm-log.sh
sudo bash ./install-pm-log.sh
  1. Clone and run script to Push data

# Clone the aimlfw-dep
git clone "https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/aiml-fw/aimlfw-dep"
cd aimlfw-dep/demos/hrelease/scripts

Execute below script to push qoe data into ranpm setup

./push_qoe_data.sh  <source name mentioned when creating feature group> <Number of rows> <Cell Identity>

The Following script downloads cells.csv , filters the data based on Cell Identity, For each PM report, the script convert the PM-report to XML documents, uploads it to one of ‘pm-https-server’, and sends a File-Ready event on Kafka-topic signifying that the PM report is ready to be processed by RANPM

Example for executing above script

./push_qoe_data.sh  gnb300505 30 c4/B2
  1. Confirm if data is uploaded correctly

kubectl exec -it influxdb2-0 -n nonrtric -- influx query 'from(bucket: "pm-logg-bucket") |> range(start: -1000000000000000000d)' |grep pdcpBytesDl
  1. Steps to clear data in InfluxDB

kubectl exec -it influxdb2-0 -n nonrtric -- influx delete --bucket pm-logg-bucket --start 1801-01-27T05:00:22.305309038Z   --stop 2023-11-14T00:00:00Z

Uninstalling RANPM

cd ./ranpm/install
sudo bash ./uninstall-ranpm.sh
