Basic OpenStack Folsom 2 node Install in ubuntu 12.10

Basic OpenStack Folsom Install Guide

Version:1.0
Source:https://github.com/nimbula/OpenStack-Folsom-Install-Guide
Keywords:Multi-node OpenStack, Folsom, Nova, Keystone, Glance, Horizon, Cinder, KVM, Ubuntu Server 12.10 (64-bit release).

Overview

This guide focuses on providing step-by-step instruction to users who are interested in taking a bare-metal server installation to a fully functioning OpenStack cloud. We will avoid using scripts like TryStack and DevStack and will attempt to configure a “vanilla” OpenStack environment. The only scripts used in this tutorial are slight modifications of the existing keystone scripts available on the official OpenStack GitHub repo. (https://github.com/openstack/keystone/blob/master/tools/sample_data.sh)

Who should read this guide

This guide is for the system administrator who is installing, configuring and managing the OpenStack “Folsom” cluster infrastructure. A reasonable level of familiarity with the following is assumed:
  • The Unix command line
  • Installing packages
  • Basic networking concepts

Special thanks to

Emilien Macchi at eNovance for assistance in merging some portions of this text into the official OpenStack repository.
Bilel Msekni from TELECOM SudParis for allowing me to fork sections of his OpenStack install guide and for the valuable suggestions and input.

Getting Started

This guide intentionally uses the nova-network package instead of the newly released quantum. This decision was made in order to reduce the setup time for a basic network configuration. Although the next release plans to freeze nova-network development, the team responsible for overseeing OpenStack networking (Thierry, Vish, Dan) have decided that they will ”...continue to support nova-network as it currently exists in Folsom”.
You can read more about their decision here.

Hardware Requirements

The following are recommended hardware requirements for both the controller and compute nodes.

Controller Node

(runs network, volume, API, scheduler and image services)
  • Processor: 64-bit x86
  • Memory: 12GB of RAM
  • Disk Space: 30GB (SATA, SAS, SSD)
  • Volume Storage: two disks with 2TB (SATA) for volumes attached to the compute nodes
  • Network: one 1GB NIC

Compute Node(s)

(runs virtual instances)
  • Processor: 64-bit x86
  • Memory: 32GB of RAM
  • Disk Space: 30GB (SATA, SAS, SSD)
  • Network: one 1GB NIC

OpenStack Install

Control Node Install

Updating your system

  • After you complete the Ubuntu 12.10 installation, go into superuser mode and stay there until this tutorial concludes:
    sudo su
    
  • Update your system:
    apt-get update
    apt-get upgrade
    apt-get dist-upgrade
    

Install and configure the MySQL & RabbitMQ

  • Install MySQL:
    apt-get install mysql-server python-mysqldb
    
  • Configure MySQL to accept all incoming requests:
    sed -i 's/127.0.0.1/0.0.0.0/g' /etc/mysql/my.cnf
    service mysql restart
    
  • Install RabbitMQ:
    apt-get install rabbitmq-server
    

Install and configure the NTP service

  • Install the NTP service:
    apt-get install ntp
    
  • Configure the NTP server to synchronize between your compute node(s) and the controller node:
    sed -i 's/server ntp.ubuntu.com/server ntp.ubuntu.com\nserver 127.127.1.0\nfudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 10/g' /etc/ntp.conf
    service ntp restart
    

Install VLAN, Bridge-Utils, and setup IP Forwarding

  • Install the VLAN and Bridge-Utils services:
    apt-get install vlan bridge-utils
    
  • Enable IP_Forwarding
    • by uncommenting net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 in /etc/sysctl.conf:
      vi /etc/sysctl.conf
      
    • or alternatively, to avoid editing any files:
      echo "net.ipv4.ip_forward=1" > /etc/sysctl.d/99-openstack-ipv4-forwarding.conf
      service procps start
      
  • Now, run systcl with the updated configuration:
    sysctl -p
    

Install and configure Keystone

  • Install the Keystone identity service:
    apt-get install keystone
    
  • Create a new MySQL database for Keystone:
    mysql -u root -p
    CREATE DATABASE keystone;
    GRANT ALL ON keystone.* TO 'keystoneUser'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'keystonePass';
    quit;
    
  • Adapt the connection attribute in the /etc/keystone/keystone.conf to our newly created database.:
    vi /etc/keystone/keystone.conf
    #and edit the connection field to show
    connection = mysql://keystoneUser:keystonePass@10.32.14.232/keystone
    
  • Restart the identity service then synchronize the database:
    service keystone restart
    keystone-manage db_sync
    
  • Use mseknibilel’s scripts
    • With Quantum:
      wget https://raw.github.com/nimbula/OpenStack-Folsom-Install-guide/master/Keystone_Scripts/With%20Quantum/keystone_basic.sh
      wget https://raw.github.com/nimbula/OpenStack-Folsom-Install-guide/master/Keystone_Scripts/With%20Quantum/keystone_endpoints_basic.sh
      
    • Without Quantum:
      wget https://raw.github.com/nimbula/OpenStack-Folsom-Install-guide/master/Keystone_Scripts/Without%20Quantum/keystone_basic.sh
      wget https://raw.github.com/nimbula/OpenStack-Folsom-Install-guide/master/Keystone_Scripts/Without%20Quantum/keystone_endpoints_basic.sh
      
  • Change the mode for both files:
    chmod +x keystone_basic.sh
    chmod +x keystone_endpoints_basic.sh
    
  • In the keystone_basic.sh script, change the $HOST_IP variable to your X.X.X.232 address
  • In the keystone_endpoints_basic.sh script, change the $HOST_IP, $EXT_HOST_IP, & $MYSQL_HOST variables to your X.X.X.232 address and then execute the scripts.
  • Note: Double check your work here, screwing up keystone can be a pain to recover from:
    vi keystone_basic.sh
    vi keystone_endpoints_basic.sh
    ./keystone_basic.sh
    ./keystone_endpoints_basic.sh
    
  • The keystone_basic.sh script has no output, but keystone_endpoints_basic.sh should kick out something similar to this:

    +-------------+----------------------------------+
    
  • Let’s create our OpenStack credential file and load it so we won’t be bothered later:
    vi creds
    
  • Paste the following text:
    export OS_NO_CACHE=1
    export OS_TENANT_NAME=admin
    export OS_USERNAME=admin
    export OS_PASSWORD=admin_pass
    export OS_AUTH_URL="http://10.32.14.232:5000/v2.0/"
    
  • Load the file:
    source creds
    
  • Let’s just do a quick test to see if Keystone is up:
    apt-get install curl openssl
    curl http://10.32.14.232:35357/v2.0/endpoints -H 'x-auth-token: ADMIN' | python -m json.tool
    
  • It should kick out something like this:
    {

    }
    

Install and configure Glance

  • Now, let’s continue by installing the image storage service (Glance):
    apt-get install glance
    
  • Let’s create a new MySQL database for Glance:
    mysql -u root -p
    CREATE DATABASE glance;
    GRANT ALL ON glance.* TO 'glanceUser'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'glancePass';
    quit;
    
  • Next, replace the existing filter:authtoken section in /etc/glance/glance-api-paste.ini with:
    vi /etc/glance/glance-api-paste.ini
    
    [filter:authtoken]
    paste.filter_factory = keystone.middleware.auth_token:filter_factory
    auth_host = 10.32.14.232
    auth_port = 35357
    auth_protocol = http
    admin_tenant_name = service
    admin_user = glance
    admin_password = service_pass
    
  • Then, update /etc/glance/glance-registry-paste.ini with:
    vi /etc/glance/glance-registry-paste.ini
    
    [filter:authtoken]
    paste.filter_factory = keystone.middleware.auth_token:filter_factory
    auth_host = 10.32.14.232
    auth_port = 35357
    auth_protocol = http
    admin_tenant_name = service
    admin_user = glance
    admin_password = service_pass
    
  • Open /etc/glance/glance-api.conf and update with the following:
    vi /etc/glance/glance-api.conf
    
    sql_connection = mysql://glanceUser:glancePass@10.32.14.232/glance
    
    [paste_deploy]
    flavor = keystone
    
  • Update the /etc/glance/glance-registry.conf:
    vi /etc/glance/glance-registry.conf
    
    sql_connection = mysql://glanceUser:glancePass@10.32.14.232/glance
    
    [paste_deploy]
    flavor = keystone
    
  • Restart the glance-api and glance-registry services:
    service glance-api restart; service glance-registry restart
    
  • Sync databases:
    glance-manage db_sync
    
  • Note: You’ll probably get a warning, reminding you that ‘useexisting’ is deprecated. That’s normal, don’t worry about it.
  • Restart the services again to take into account the new modifications
    service glance-registry restart; service glance-api restart
  • Now, let’s test the Glance installation by installing the cirros cloud image from the Launchpad mirror:
    mkdir images
    cd images
    wget https://launchpad.net/cirros/trunk/0.3.0/+download/cirros-0.3.0-x86_64-disk.img
    glance image-create --name NimbulaTest --is-public true --container-format bare --disk-format qcow2 < cirros-0.3.0-x86_64-disk.img
    
  • That last command should produce output similar to:

  • Now let’s make sure it uploaded, by using glance’s image list:
    glance image-list
    
  • It should return something like this:

Setup networking

  • Now, time to install bridge-utils:
    apt-get install -y bridge-utils
    
  • Reconfigure /etc/network/interfaces:
    vi /etc/network/interfaces
    
    # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
    # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
    # The loopback network interface
    auto lo
    iface lo inet loopback
    # The primary network interface
    auto br100
    iface br100 inet static
            address 10.32.14.232
            netmask 255.255.255.0
            network 10.32.14.0
            broadcast 10.32.14.255
            gateway 10.32.14.1
            # dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed
            dns-nameservers 172.16.0.16
            dns-search mtv.nimbula.org
            bridge_ports eth0
            bridge_stp off
            bridge_maxwait 0
            bridge_fd 0
    
  • Ensure that you setup the bridge and then restart networking:
    sudo brctl addbr br100; sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
    

Install and configure Nova

  • Time to install Nova (and some other packages):
    apt-get install -y nova-api nova-cert novnc nova-consoleauth nova-scheduler nova-novncproxy nova-network
    
  • We are also going to remove the Quantum endpoint and service, the script we ran earlier assumes that we will use Quantum instead of nova-networks, and having both endpoints on the same installation can cause some serious conflicts:
  • First, get the endpoint ID:
    keystone endpoint-list | grep 9696
    
  • It will return output similar to this:
    | b0974d6c9bbb4f2cab281f3ff5bcd412 | RegionOne | http://192.168.161.232:9696/ | http://192.168.161.232:9696/ | http://192.168.161.232:9696/ |
    
  • Grab the ID from the output and then remove that endpoint:
    keystone endpoint-delete b0974d6c9bbb4f2cab281f3ff5bcd412
    
  • Next, find the Quantum service ID:
    keystone service-list | grep quantum
    
  • It will return output similar to this:
    | 9e3b400f6531414c93262644f20cfda1 | quantum  |   network    | OpenStack Networking Service |
    
  • Grab the ID from the output and then remove that service:
    keystone service-delete 9e3b400f6531414c93262644f20cfda1
    
  • Prepare a MySQL database for Nova:
    mysql -u root -p
    CREATE DATABASE nova;
    GRANT ALL ON nova.* TO 'novaUser'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'novaPass';
    quit;
    
  • Now, let’s modify the authtoken section in the /etc/nova/api-paste.ini file:
    [filter:authtoken]
    paste.filter_factory = keystone.middleware.auth_token:filter_factory
    auth_host = 10.32.14.232
    auth_port = 35357
    auth_protocol = http
    admin_tenant_name = service
    admin_user = nova
    admin_password = service_pass
    signing_dirname = /tmp/keystone-signing-nova
    
  • Next up is the /etc/nova/nova.conf file:
    [DEFAULT]
    logdir=/var/log/nova
    state_path=/var/lib/nova
    lock_path=/run/lock/nova
    verbose=True
    api_paste_config=/etc/nova/api-paste.ini

    # Cinder #
    volume_api_class=nova.volume.cinder.API
    osapi_volume_listen_port=5900
    
  • Now, sync your database:
    nova-manage db sync
    
  • Note: You may get some debug output mentioning ‘nova.db.sqlalchemy.migration’. That’s normal, don’t worry about it.
  • Restart all of your nova-* services:
    cd /etc/init.d/; for i in $(ls nova-*); do sudo service $i restart; done
    
  • Make sure all of your services are up and happy:
    nova-manage service list
    
  • You should get something like this:
    Binary           Host                                 Zone             Status     State Updated_At

  • Note: You may get some debug output mentioning ‘nova.db.sqlalchemy.migration’. That’s normal, don’t worry about it.

Install and configure Cinder

  • Now, it’s time to install Cinder, this new OpenStack project aims at managing the volumes for VM’s. It replaces nova-volumes:
    apt-get install cinder-api cinder-scheduler cinder-volume iscsitarget iscsitarget-dkms
    
  • Prepare a MySQL database for Cinder:
    mysql -u root -p
    CREATE DATABASE cinder;
    GRANT ALL ON cinder.* TO 'cinderUser'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'cinderPass';
    quit;
    
  • Configure api-paste.ini by following this template:
    vi /etc/cinder/api-paste.ini
    
    [filter:authtoken]
    paste.filter_factory = keystone.middleware.auth_token:filter_factory
    service_protocol = http
    service_host = 10.32.14.232
    service_port = 5000
    auth_host = 10.32.14.232
    auth_port = 35357
    auth_protocol = http
    admin_tenant_name = service
    admin_user = cinder
    admin_password = service_pass
    
  • Open cinder.conf and change it to the following:
    vi /etc/cinder/cinder.conf
    
    [DEFAULT]
    rootwrap_config=/etc/cinder/rootwrap.conf
    sql_connection = mysql://cinderUser:cinderPass@10.32.14.232/cinder
    api_paste_confg = /etc/cinder/api-paste.ini
    iscsi_helper=ietadm
    volume_name_template = volume-%s
    volume_group = cinder-volumes
    verbose = True
    auth_strategy = keystone
    #osapi_volume_listen_port=5900
    
  • Time to synchronize the database, yet again:
    cinder-manage db sync
    
  • Now, let’s create a volume group, name it cinder-volumes, and make sure that it persists after a reboot:
    dd if=/dev/zero of=cinder-volumes bs=1 count=0 seek=2G
    losetup /dev/loop2 cinder-volumes
    fdisk /dev/loop2
    
  • And at the fdisk prompt, enter the following commands:
    n
    p
    1
    ENTER
    ENTER
    t
    8e
    w
    
  • Proceed to create the physical volume and then the volume group itself:
    pvcreate /dev/loop2
    vgcreate cinder-volumes /dev/loop2
    
  • Now, let’s add this to the rc.local to make sure that we don’t lose this volume on a server reboot
  • Add the following to the file before the exit 0 line:
    #the path is wherever you ran the previous two steps + "cinder-volumes"
    losetup /dev/loop2 <PATH_TO_VG>
    

Install and configure Horizon

  • Finally, we are almost done. On to the Horizon interface:
    apt-get install openstack-dashboard memcached
    
  • Some users (including myself) have encountered a few bugs when using the default Ubuntu theme. Disable it by doing the following:
    vi /etc/openstack-dashboard/local_settings.py
    
    #Comment these lines
    #Enable the Ubuntu theme if it is present.
    #try:
    #   from ubuntu_theme import *
    #except ImportError:
    #   pass
    
  • Horizon now requires a reboot to authenticate properly. Reboot and when the machine is ready, start all of your nova services:
    reboot
    cd /etc/init.d/; for i in $(ls nova-*); do sudo service $i start; done
    

Compute Node

Updating your system

  • Now, all we have to do is add a compute node. Log onto the next available node on your cluster. (repeat for as many nodes as you’d like)
  • Start by updating your system as root:
    sudo su
    apt-get update
    apt-get upgrade
    apt-get dist-upgrade
    

Install and configure the NTP service

  • Install the NTP service:
    apt-get install ntp
    
  • Configure the NTP server to follow the controller node:
    sed -i 's/server ntp.ubuntu.com/server 10.32.14.232/' /etc/ntp.conf
    service ntp restart
    

Setup vlan, bridge-utils, and KVM

  • Install other miscellaneous services:
    apt-get install vlan bridge-utils
    
  • Enable IP_Forwarding
    • by uncommenting net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 in /etc/sysctl.conf:
      vi /etc/sysctl.conf
      
    • or alternatively, to avoid editing any files:
      echo "net.ipv4.ip_forward=1" > /etc/sysctl.d/99-openstack-ipv4-forwarding.conf
      service procps start
      
  • Now, run systcl with the updated configuration:
    sysctl -p
    
  • Next, check if you can install KVM on your machine:
    apt-get install cpu-checker
    
  • Then run:
    kvm-ok
    
  • You should get a response similar to:
    KVM acceleration can be used
    
  • Now that we are all clear, let’s install kvm and configure it:
    apt-get install -y kvm libvirt-bin pm-utils
    
  • Edit the cgroup_device_acl array in the qemu.conf file to:
    vi /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf
    
    cgroup_device_acl = [
    "/dev/null", "/dev/full", "/dev/zero",
    "/dev/random", "/dev/urandom",
    "/dev/ptmx", "/dev/kvm", "/dev/kqemu",
    "/dev/rtc", "/dev/hpet", "/dev/net/tun"
    ]
    
  • Delete the default virtual bridge:
    virsh net-destroy default
    virsh net-undefine default
    

Setup live migration

  • Enable live migration by uncommenting the listen_tls = 0, listen_tcp = 1, and auth_tcp = “none” fields in the libvirtd.conf file. Don’t touch any of the other existing settings:
    vi /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf
    
    listen_tls = 0
    listen_tcp = 1
    auth_tcp = "none"
    
  • Edit libvirtd_opts variable in the libvirt-bin.conf file:
    vi /etc/init/libvirt-bin.conf
    
  • Find env libvirtd_opts and set it to:
    env libvirtd_opts="-d -l"
    
  • Edit the same field in /etc/default/libvirt-bin and again, set it to:
    libvirtd_opts="-d -l"
    
  • Restart the libvirt service to apply the changes:
    service libvirt-bin restart
    

Install and configure nova-network

  • Now, time to install nova-network and bridge-utils:
    apt-get install nova-network bridge-utils
    
  • Now, let’s configure our interfaces file similar to our first node. (this time we will just use a different IP):
    vi /etc/network/interfaces
    
    # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
    # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
    # The loopback network interface
    auto lo
    iface lo inet loopback
    # The primary network interface
    auto br100
    iface br100 inet static
         address 10.32.14.234
         netmask 255.255.255.0
         network 10.32.14.0
         broadcast 10.32.14.255
         gateway 10.32.14.1
         # dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed
         dns-nameservers 172.16.0.16
         dns-search mtv.nimbula.org
         bridge_ports eth0
         bridge_stp off
         bridge_maxwait 0
         bridge_fd 0
    
  • Now, make sure the br100 is added and restart the networking services:
    brctl addbr br100; /etc/init.d/networking restart
    

Install and configure nova-api and nova-compute

  • Now, let’s install the compute packages:
    apt-get install nova-api-metadata nova-compute-kvm
    
  • Now, modify the authtoken section in api-paste.ini:
    vi /etc/nova/api-paste.ini
    
    [filter:authtoken]
    paste.filter_factory = keystone.middleware.auth_token:filter_factory
    auth_host = 10.32.14.232
    auth_port = 35357
    auth_protocol = http
    admin_tenant_name = service
    admin_user = nova
    admin_password = service_pass
    signing_dirname = /tmp/keystone-signing-nova
    
  • Next up, edit the nova-compute.conf:
    vi /etc/nova/nova-compute.conf
    
    [DEFAULT]
    libvirt_type=kvm
    
  • Now, time for the good ol’ nova.conf again:
    vi /etc/nova/nova.conf
    
    [DEFAULT]
    logdir=/var/log/nova
    state_path=/var/lib/nova
    lock_path=/run/lock/nova

  • Resync your databases:
    nova-manage db sync
    
  • Restart services to update changes:
    cd /etc/init.d/; for i in $(ls nova-*); do sudo service $i restart; done
    
  • Check to make sure your services are in a good mood:
    nova-manage service list
    
  • You should now see a mix of services running on multiple nodes:
    Binary           Host                                 Zone             Status     State Updated_At

  • Note: You may get some debug output mentioning ‘nova.db.sqlalchemy.api’. That’s normal, don’t worry about it.

Setting up projects using Horizon

  • Now, log onto OpenStack horizon by visiting the URL: http://10.32.14.232/horizon and logging in with the credentials:
    username: admin
    password: admin_pass
    
  • Next, navigate to the “Projects” tab on the bottom left of the landing screen:
http://i.imgur.com/H5w98.png
  • Now, in the new pane go ahead and click the “Create Project” button in the top right. You will be greeted with a modal dialog like so:
http://i.imgur.com/1jDD7.png
  • Fill in the fields presented, and don’t forget the tabs on top. Make sure you add yourself as a project member:
  • Now, your new project should be behind the modal grid. Find your new project and the corresponding row. Copy the “Project ID” to your clipboard, we’ll use it in the next step:

Creating a network

  • We are almost finished. Now it’s time to create a network and bind it to that project:
  • Note: Remember to use the instance network:
    nova-manage network create --label=NimbulaNetwork --fixed_range_v4=10.33.14.0/24 --bridge=br100 --project_id=<InsertProjectIDHere> --num_networks=1 --multi_host=T
    
  • Now, you are done. No seriously. Go to http://10.32.14.232/horizon (or whatever your IP is) and then select your project, find an image, and launch and instance.

Tips & Tricks

Removing ‘error’ state instances

So, it’s entirely possible that you screw up your network the first time, maybe you give it the wrong IP Pool, or maybe you assign it to the wrong project. Now, all of your instances are in the error state and you can’t delete them. Luckily, I’ve already found two very simple and undocumented processes of removing them.
  • Jump on your first node, open up the terminal as root, and plugin the following commands:
    service nova-network stop
    nova-manage project scrub <ProjectName>
    nova-manage network list
    
  • It should return something like this:
    id      IPv4                IPv6            start address   DNS1            DNS2            VlanID          project         uuid
    3       10.33.14.0/24       None            10.33.14.2      8.8.4.4         None            None            Nimbula         8ccdef11-7070-4852-a212-31c3ddedccd3
    
  • Find the network you want to remove and copy the IPv4 section:
    nova-manage network delete 10.33.14.0/24
    
  • Now, we’ve got to get rid of those error state instances:
    nova list | grep ERROR
    
  • That command should return a list of all ERROR state instances:
    +------+------------+--------+--------------------------------+
    |  ID  |    Name    | Status |            Networks            |
    +------+------------+--------+--------------------------------+
    | 1805 | testserver | ERROR  | private=10.4.96.81             |
    +------+------------+--------+--------------------------------+
    
  • To delete, plug in their names to the following command(s):
    nova reset-state –active <name> nova delete <name>
  • If those two commands don’t work, we can take more drastic measures:
    vi DeleteInstances.sh
    
  • Paste the following in:
    #!/bin/bash
    mysql -uroot -ppassword << EOF
    use nova;
    DELETE a FROM nova.security_group_instance_association AS a INNER JOIN nova.instances AS b ON a.instance_id=b.id where b.uuid='$1';
    DELETE FROM nova.instance_info_caches WHERE instance_id='$1';
    DELETE FROM nova.instances WHERE uuid='$1';
    EOF
    
  • Save it by hitting ESC, then ”:”, then x, and hitting Enter - Then make sure it’s executable by using the following:
    chmod +x DeleteInstances.sh
    
  • And run it:
    ./DeleteInstances.sh
    

Floating IP setup

  • First create a dedicated pool:
    sudo nova-mange floating create --pool pool_auto_assign --ip_range X.X.X.X/X
    
  • Then modify the nova.conf with these flags:
    vi /etc/nova/nova.conf
    
    default_floating_pool = pool_auto_assign
    floating_range = X.X.X.X/X
    auto_assign_floating_ip = True
    
  • You may also want to increase the floating IP’s quota (this is also in the /etc/nova/nova.conf):
    quota_floating_ips = 50
    
  • Then, we need to restart nova-network:
    sudo service nova-network restart
