+| | [Documentation]
+| | ... | Common test setup for functional tests with containers.
+| | ...
+| | ... | *Arguments:*
+| | ... | - chains: Total number of chains (Optional). Type: integer, default
+| | ... | value: ${1}
+| | ... | - nodeness: Total number of nodes per chain (Optional). Type: integer,
+| | ... | default value: ${1}
+| | ...
+| | ... | _NOTE:_ This KW sets following test case variables:
+| | ... | - tmp_volume - Docker volume mounted as /tmp directory on DUT1.
+| | ... | - dcr_uuid - UUID string (including prefix - underscore character) of
+| | ... | DUT1 /tmp volume.
