OpenStack deployment via packstack from RDO

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

• Bug fix:

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