This article will cover the steps involved in getting OpenStack deployed using "packstack" from RDO.

NOTE: Article under construction.

• Deploy assumptions:
  • OS: CentOS 7.1 (64-bit; 7.1.1503 Core)
  • OpenStack release: "Kilo" (April 2015)

Single node

Note: Using neutron with a flat network driver.

# yum update -y
# yum install -y https://rdoproject.org/repos/rdo-release.rpm
# yum install -y openstack-packstack

# packstack --allinone --provision-demo=n

$ openstack-config --set /etc/neutron/plugins/openvswitch/ovs_neutron_plugin.ini ovs bridge_mappings extnet:br-ex
$ openstack-config --set /etc/neutron/plugin.ini ml2 type_drivers vxlan,flat,vlan

$ service network restart
$ service neutron-openvswitch-agent restart
$ service neutron-server restart

• Test host networking and other configurations:

$ sysctl -a | grep ip_forward #=> 1
$ sestatus #=> permissive

• Bug fix:

$ ovs-vsctl br-set-external-id br-ex bridge-id br-ex
$ service neutron-plugin-openvswitch-agent restart

$ cat keystonerc_admin 
unset OS_SERVICE_TOKEN
export OS_USERNAME=admin
export OS_PASSWORD=<password>
export OS_AUTH_URL=http://10.1.100.15:5000/v2.0
export PS1='[\u@\h \W(keystone_admin)]\$ '

export OS_TENANT_NAME=admin
export OS_REGION_NAME=RegionOne

$ . keystonerc_admin # source the admin environment

• Setup networks:

$ neutron net-create --provider:network_type flat \
                     --provider:physical_network extnet \
                     --router:external \
                     --shared
                     external_network
$ neutron subnet-create --name public_subnet \
                        --enable_dhcp=False \
                        --allocation-pool start=10.1.100.16,end=10.1.100.20 \
                        --gateway=10.1.100.1 external_network 10.1.100.0/23
$ neutron net-create private_network
$ neutron subnet-create --name private_subnet \
                        --allocation-pool start=10.10.1.100,end=10.10.1.200
                        --gateway=10.10.1.1 private_network 10.10.1.0/24
$ neutron router-create router1
$ neutron router-interface-add router1 private_subnet
$ neutron router-gateway-set router1 external_network

• Create new (non-admin) tenant and user:

$ keystone tenant-create --name demo --description "demo tenant" --enabled true
$ keystone user-create --name demo --tenant demo --pass "password" --email demo@example.com --enabled true

• Populate glance with initial image:

$ CIRROS_IMAGE_NAME=cirros-0.3.4-x86_64
$ CIRROS_IMAGE_URL="http://download.cirros-cloud.net/0.3.4/cirros-0.3.4-x86_64-disk.img"
$ curl ${CIRROS_IMAGE_URL} | \
    glance image-create --name="${CIRROS_IMAGE_NAME}" \
                        --is-public=true \
                        --container-format=bare \
                        --disk-format=qcow2
$ glance image-list

• Create basic security groups/rules (to allow basic networking traffic in/out of VMs):

$ nova secgroup-create all "Allow all tcp ports"
$ nova secgroup-add-rule all TCP 1 65535 0.0.0.0/0
$ nova secgroup-create base "Allow Base Access"
$ nova secgroup-add-rule base TCP 22 22 0.0.0.0/0
$ nova secgroup-add-rule base TCP 80 80 0.0.0.0/0
$ nova secgroup-add-rule base ICMP -1 -1 0.0.0.0/0

• Create a very small ("nano") flavor for use in testing (spins up faster, uses less resources, etc.):

$ nova flavor-create m1.nano 42 64 0 1 # <name> <id> <ram> <disk> <vcpus>
$ nova flavor-list

• Setup environment variables in order to keep track of UUIDs, etc.:

$ INSTANCE_NAME=rdo-test-01
$ GLANCE_IMAGE_ID=$(glance image-list | \grep ${CIRROS_IMAGE_NAME} | awk '{print $2}')
$ PRIVATE_NET_ID=$(neutron net-list | \grep private_network | awk '{print $2}')

• Spin up a nova instance (VM):

$ nova boot --flavor m1.nano --image ${GLANCE_IMAGE_ID} --nic net-id=${PRIVATE_NET_ID} \
            --key-name admin --security-groups base ${INSTANCE_NAME}
$ INSTANCE_ID=$(nova list | \grep ${INSTANCE_NAME} | awk '{print $2}')

• Associate a floating IP with the new instance (this "floating IP" is how the instance communicates with the Internet):

$ neutron floatingip-create external_network
$ FLOATINGIP_ID=
$ NEUTRON_COMPUTE_PORT_ID=$(neutron port-list -c id -c device_owner -- \
                            --device_id ${INSTANCE_ID} | \grep compute | awk '{print $2}')
$ neutron floatingip-associate ${FLOATINGIP_ID} ${NEUTRON_COMPUTE_PORT_ID}
$ neutron floatingip-show ${FLOATINGIP_ID}

• Direct access to Nova metadata:

see: for details

$ SHARED_SECRET=$(crudini --get /etc/nova/nova.conf neutron metadata_proxy_shared_secret)
$ META_SIGNATURE=$(python -c 'import hmac,hashlib;print hmac.new("'${SHARED_SECRET}'",\
                             "'${INSTANCE_ID}'",hashlib.sha256).hexdigest()')
$ ADMIN_TENANT_ID=$(keystone tenant-list | \grep admin | awk '{print $2}')
$ ENDPOINT=http://10.1.100.15:8775
$ curl -s -H "x-instance-id:${INSTANCE_ID}" \
          -H "x-tenant-id:${ADMIN_TENANT_ID}" \
          -H "x-instance-id-signature:${META_SIGNATURE}" \
          ${ENDPOINT}/latest/meta-data
