The project OpenVIM, as well as OpenMANO, has been contributed to the open source community project Open Source MANO (OSM), hosted by ETSI.

This article contains specific instructions to configure a compute node, ready for NFV data plane workloads, based on a RHEL7.1 or CentOS7.1 Linux system.

In order to apply the configuration, you can do it automatically by using a script that performs all actions apart from BIOS configuration and user key sharing. This script is only for RHEL7.1 and CentOS7.1.

wget https://github.com/nfvlabs/openvim/raw/master/scripts/configure-compute-node-RHEL7.1.sh
chmod +x ./configure-compute-node-RHEL7.1.sh
sudo ./configure-compute-node-RHEL7.1.sh <user> <iface>

The variable <user> is the host user used by openvim to connect via ssh (libvirt admin rights will be granted to that user). The variable <iface> is the host interface where Linux bridges will be provisioned.

It is also possible to do the process manually. The general guidelines fully apply to compute nodes based on RHEL7.1 or CentOS7.1. You can follow all detailed instructions from there.
