Manual basic instalation (Simple OpenStack)

This is a simple how-to to show how install openstack manually using the packages from repository, we will install only two machines as OpenStack components and the third will be to adictional services, on to be the "simplecontroller" (where all services will installed) and other to be the compute-node as well we will have only one network, the imagem bellow show how will be the environment.

first of all configure the name and ips on all machines like the commands bellow.

All machines!!!

Disable the SELinux:

1
2
sed -e 's/SELINUX=.*/SELINUX=permissive/' /etc/selinux/config -i setenforce 0

And the FirewallD:

1
2
systemctl stop firewalld systemctl disable firewalld

As well the NetworkManager:

1
2
systemctl stop NetworkManager systemctl disable NetworkManager

SQL DataBase

which_server

simplecontroller

Install the MariaDB service and the python connector:

1
yum install mariadb mariadb-server python2-PyMySQL -y

Configure the '/etc/my.cnf.d/openstack.cnf' to ensure that MySQL will work InnoDB and UTF also set to be open the port 3306 on all ips that we'll have:

1

cat <<'EOF'> /etc/my.cnf.d/openstack.cnf [mysqld] bind-address = 0.0.0.0 default-storage-engine = innodb innodb_file_per_table = on max_connections = 4096 collation-server = utf8_general_ci character-set-server = utf8 EOF

Enable and start the MariaDB service:

1
2
systemctl enable mariadb.service systemctl start mariadb.service

Test if it is ok:

1
mysql -u root -e "show databases"

Set a passowrd to root user (root only on MariaDB will have this password) be able to connect remotly if necessary:

1
mysql -u root -e "grant all privileges on *.* to root@'%' identified by 'MDB_PASS' with grant option; flush privileges"

Message Queue

which_server

simplecontroller

Install the RabbitMQ service to provide the message system:

1
yum install rabbitmq-server -y

Enable the managment portal, it will expose many informations on web console, the default port is 15672, in our case try http://192.168.88.7:15672 after create the user and set the permission on next steps:

1
rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_management

Enable and start the RabbitMQ Server service:

1
2
systemctl enable rabbitmq-server.service systemctl start rabbitmq-server.service

Create, set password and set permission of the 'openstack' user, this user will be used to connect each OpenStack service on RabbitMQ:

1
2
3
rabbitmqctl add_user openstack RABBIT_PASS rabbitmqctl set_user_tags openstack administrator rabbitmqctl set_permissions openstack ".*" ".*" ".*"

Chech if all is correctly configured:

1
curl -i -u openstack:RABBIT_PASS http://192.168.88.7:15672/api/whoami

Memcached

which_server

simplecontroller

Install the Memcached and the python library to enable openstack uses memcached:

1
yum install memcached python-memcached -y

Determine that memcached service will listen on all interfaces:

1
sed -e 's/OPTIONS=.*/OPTIONS="-l 0.0.0.0"/' /etc/sysconfig/memcached -i

Enable and start the Memcached service:

1
2
systemctl enable memcached.service systemctl start memcached.service

Chech if the Memcached is correctly configured:

1
memcached-tool 192.168.88.7:11211 stats

Identity service (Keystone)

which_server

simplecontroller

First of all, create the Keystone database and set the password to enable the connection on this database with user keystone:

1
2
mysql -u root -e "CREATE DATABASE keystone" mysql -u root -e "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON keystone.* TO 'keystone'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'KEYSTONE_DBPASS' ; flush privileges"

Install the Keystone packages, the apache server and the wsgi that is used to be like a gateway interface for the keytone api service:

1
yum install openstack-keystone httpd mod_wsgi -y

Set the database configurations created few steps above:

1
openstack-config --set /etc/keystone/keystone.conf database connection mysql+pymysql://keystone:KEYSTONE_DBPASS@simplecontroller/keystone

Determine which token mechanism Keytone will use:

1
openstack-config --set /etc/keystone/keystone.conf token provider fernet

Set Keytone to work with Memcached also set which server will be:

1
2
openstack-config --set /etc/keystone/keystone.conf cache backend dogpile.cache.memcached openstack-config --set /etc/keystone/keystone.conf cache memcache_servers simplecontroller:11211

Sync the database, it means create all tables also populate with the minimum iformation required:

1
su -s /bin/sh -c "keystone-manage db_sync" keystone

Confirm looking if the tables are created:

1
mysql -uroot keystone -e "show tables"

To user Fernet is necessary to generate the hashs that will be used to genetate the tokens, so run the command bellow:

1
2
keystone-manage fernet_setup --keystone-user keystone --keystone-group keystone keystone-manage credential_setup --keystone-user keystone --keystone-group keystone

This command will create the service identity and the address endpoints of Identity service (Keystone), as well will create the Domain Default, the Project admin and the User admin with the especified password and if you specify will create the Region, as bellow.

1
2
3
4
5
6
keystone-manage --config-file /etc/keystone/keystone.conf bootstrap \ --bootstrap-password ADMIN_PASS \ --bootstrap-admin-url http://simplecontroller:5000/v3/ \ --bootstrap-internal-url http://simplecontroller:5000/v3/ \ --bootstrap-public-url http://simplecontroller:5000/v3/ \ --bootstrap-region-id EURegion

Because the keystone package dont create the Apache Virtual-Host for Keystone WSGI, create this link:

1
ln -s /usr/share/keystone/wsgi-keystone.conf /etc/httpd/conf.d/

Enable and start the Apache service:

1
2
systemctl enable httpd.service systemctl start httpd.service

Install the client, to manage the OpenStack and your services by CLI:

1
yum install python-openstackclient python-osc-placement -y

Check if it is everthing ok:

1
2
3
openstack --os-auth-url http://simplecontroller:5000/v3 \ --os-project-domain-name Default --os-user-domain-name Default \ --os-project-name admin --os-username admin --os-password ADMIN_PASS token issue

Instead to pass on command line all information that you need, is possible to add to a file like bellow:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
cat <<'EOF'> admin_openrc export OS_USERNAME=admin export OS_PASSWORD=ADMIN_PASS export OS_PROJECT_NAME=admin export OS_USER_DOMAIN_NAME=Default export OS_PROJECT_DOMAIN_NAME=Default export OS_AUTH_URL=http://simplecontroller:5000/v3 export OS_IDENTITY_API_VERSION=3 export OS_REGION_NAME=EURegion export PS1='\[\e]0;\u@\h: \w\a\]${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;31m\][\W]($OS_PROJECT_NAME-$OS_REGION_NAME)\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ ' EOF

upload this file to memory:

1
source admin_openrc

Now you are able to execute any comando whit this credential, so create the service project that will be used by all other OpenStack services:

1
openstack project create --domain default --description "Service Project" service

Just a tip for you!!!

1
2
openstack complete --shell bash | tee /etc/bash_completion.d/os.bash source /etc/bash_completion.d/os.bash

To test many resources, create the Domain, Project, User and set the role for this new user.

1
2
3
4
openstack domain create --description "An Example Domain" mydomain openstack project create --domain mydomain --description "Demo Project" myproject openstack user create --domain mydomain --password myuser_pass myuser openstack role add --project myproject --project-domain mydomain --user myuser --user-domain mydomain member

Check if it is everthing ok:

1
2
3
openstack --os-auth-url http://simplecontroller:5000/v3 \ --os-project-domain-name mydomain --os-user-domain-name mydomain \ --os-project-name myproject --os-username myuser --os-password myuser_pass token issue

Confirm looking if the tables are created:

1
mysql -uroot cinder -e "show tables"

Enable and start the Cinder API and Cinder Scheduler service:

1
2
systemctl enable openstack-cinder-api.service openstack-cinder-scheduler.service systemctl start openstack-cinder-api.service openstack-cinder-scheduler.service

Check if the Cinder services are running, in this case should be only the scheduler:

1
openstack volume service list
which_server

simpleservices

The propuse of the section is describe how to have some way to provide volumes on OpenStack, for this environment will be the NFS, but on this blog have or will have other ways to provide Block Storage.

First of all, install the nfs-utils package that contain the nfs-server service:

1
yum install nfs-utils -y

create a new directory that will be used to share with other machines through NFS protocol:

1
mkdir /mnt/vol01

Inside the NFS configuration file, write the config about the directory recently created:

1
echo '/mnt/vol01 *(rw,no_root_squash)' > /etc/exports

Enable and start the NFS Server service:

1
2
systemctl enable nfs-server systemctl start nfs-server

Check to see if it is all ok:

1
showmount -e
which_server

simplecontroller

Install the same packge, but this time we'll (Cinder Volume'll) use the 'mount.nfs' command:

1
yum install nfs-utils -y

Determine that the backends enabled will be the 'nfsbkend':

1
openstack-config --set /etc/cinder/cinder.conf DEFAULT enabled_backends nfsbkend

Configure the Cinder Volume to work with the NFS protocol also determine the config file of our NFS Server:

1
2
3
4
5
openstack-config --set /etc/cinder/cinder.conf nfsbkend nfs_shares_config /etc/cinder/shares.conf openstack-config --set /etc/cinder/cinder.conf nfsbkend volume_driver cinder.volume.drivers.nfs.NfsDriver openstack-config --set /etc/cinder/cinder.conf nfsbkend volume_backend_name nfsbackendname openstack-config --set /etc/cinder/cinder.conf nfsbkend nfs_mount_options openstack-config --set /etc/cinder/cinder.conf nfsbkend nfs_sparsed_volumes True

Set where is our NFS server like bellow:

1
echo "simpleservices.xurupita.nl:/mnt/vol01" > /etc/cinder/shares.conf

Enable and start the Cinder Volume service:

1
2
systemctl enable openstack-cinder-volume systemctl restart openstack-cinder-api openstack-cinder-scheduler openstack-cinder-volume

Now is possible to see the mount of the NFS:

1
mount

still admin user, create the type and correlate with the NFS server config:

1
2
3
openstack volume type create NFS openstack volume type set NFS --property volume_backend_name=nfsbackendname openstack volume type list --long

Create a new volume:

1
2
3
4
openstack --os-auth-url http://simplecontroller:5000/v3 \ --os-project-domain-name mydomain --os-user-domain-name mydomain \ --os-project-name myproject --os-username myuser --os-password myuser_pass \ volume create --type NFS --size 2 vol01

Create a new other volume, but this time from a image:

1
2
3
4
openstack --os-auth-url http://simplecontroller:5000/v3 \ --os-project-domain-name mydomain --os-user-domain-name mydomain \ --os-project-name myproject --os-username myuser --os-password myuser_pass \ volume create --type NFS --image cirros --size 2 volimg01

List all volumes also their configs:

1
cinder list --all

To finalize verify these new files on mount point:

1
ls -R /var/lib/cinder/mnt/

Placement service (Placement)

First of all, create the Placement database and set the password to enable the connection on this database with user placement:

1
2
mysql -u root -e "CREATE DATABASE placement" mysql -u root -e "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON placement.* TO 'placement'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'PLACEMENT_DBPASS'; flush privileges"

Now create the Placement service as well add the your endpoints:

1
2
3
4
openstack service create --name placement --description "Placement API" placement openstack endpoint create --region EURegion placement public http://simplecontroller:8778 openstack endpoint create --region EURegion placement internal http://simplecontroller:8778 openstack endpoint create --region EURegion placement admin http://simplecontroller:8778

Create the Placement user also set the role admin on project service:

1
2
openstack user create --domain default --password PLACEMENT_PASS placement openstack role add --project service --user placement admin

Install the Placement packge:

1
yum install openstack-placement-api -y

Set the database configurations created few steps above:

1
openstack-config --set /etc/placement/placement.conf placement_database connection mysql+pymysql://placement:PLACEMENT_DBPASS@simplecontroller/placement

Determine the OpenStack credentials on the Placement configuration file:

1
2
3
4

openstack-config --set /etc/placement/placement.conf keystone_authtoken auth_url http://simplecontroller:5000/v3 openstack-config --set /etc/placement/placement.conf keystone_authtoken memcached_servers simplecontroller:11211 openstack-config --set /etc/placement/placement.conf keystone_authtoken auth_type password openstack-config --set /etc/placement/placement.conf keystone_authtoken project_domain_name default openstack-config --set /etc/placement/placement.conf keystone_authtoken user_domain_name default openstack-config --set /etc/placement/placement.conf keystone_authtoken project_name service openstack-config --set /etc/placement/placement.conf keystone_authtoken username placement openstack-config --set /etc/placement/placement.conf keystone_authtoken password PLACEMENT_PASS

Sync the database, it means create all tables also populate with the minimum iformation required:

1
su -s /bin/sh -c "placement-manage db sync" placement

Confirm looking if the tables are created:

1
mysql -uroot placement -e "show tables"

This is a little workaround:
