Infrastructure allocation

The next step is to make sure that you have all of the required hardware and software in place.

Software

You can download the latest release of Fuel here:

Alternatively, you can download a pre-built Puppet Master/Cobbler ISO, which will cut down the amount of time you'll need to spend getting Fuel up and running. You can download the ISO here:

Hardware for a virtual installation

For a virtual installation, you need only a single machine. You can get by on 8GB of RAM, but 16GB will be better. To actually perform the installation, you need a way to create Virtual Machines. This guide assumes that you are using version 4.2.6 of VirtualBox, which you can download from

https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

You'll need to run VirtualBox on a stable host system. Mac OS 10.7.x, CentOS 6.3, or Ubuntu 12.04 are preferred; results in other operating systems are unpredictable.

You will need to allocate the following resources:

  • 1 server to host both Puppet Master and Cobbler. The minimum configuration for this server is:
    • 32-bit or 64-bit architecture
    • 1+ CPU or vCPU
    • 1024+ MB of RAM
    • 16+ GB of HDD for OS, and Linux distro storage

  • 3 servers to act as OpenStack controllers (called fuel-controller-01, fuel-controller-02, and fuel-controller-03). The minimum configuration for a controller in Swift Compact mode is: * 64-bit architecture

    • 1+ CPU 1024+ MB of RAM
    • 8+ GB of HDD for base OS
    • 10+ GB of HDD for Swift
  • 1 server to act as the OpenStack compute node (called fuel-compute-01). The minimum configuration for a compute node with Cinder deployed on it is:
    • 64-bit architecture
    • 2+ CPU, with Intel VTx or AMDV virtualization technology
    • 2048+ MB of RAM
    • 50+ GB of HDD for OS, instances, and ephemeral storage
    • 50+ GB of HDD for Cinder

Instructions for creating these resources will be provided in Installing the OS using Fuel <Install-OS-Using-Fuel>.

Hardware for a physical infrastructure installation

The amount of hardware necessary for an installation depends on the choices you have made above. This sample installation requires the following hardware:

  • 1 server to host both Puppet Master and Cobbler. The minimum configuration for this server is:
    • 32-bit or 64-bit architecture
    • 1+ CPU or vCPU
    • 1024+ MB of RAM
    • 16+ GB of HDD for OS, and Linux distro storage
  • 3 servers to act as OpenStack controllers (called fuel-controller-01, fuel-controller-02, and fuel-controller-03). The minimum configuration for a controller in Swift Compact mode is:
    • 64-bit architecture
    • 1+ CPU
    • 1024+ MB of RAM
    • 400+ GB of HDD
  • 1 server to act as the OpenStack compute node (called fuelcompute-01). The minimum configuration for a compute node with Cinder deployed on it is:
    • 64-bit architecture
    • 2+ CPU, with Intel VTx or AMDV virtualization technology
    • 2048+ MB of RAM
    • 1+ TB of HDD

(If you choose to deploy Quantum on a separate node, you will need an additional server with specifications comparable to the controller nodes.)
