Overcloud

Installation

SSH to the overcloud machine, then follow the instructions in /installation to set up an Ansible control host environment. Typically this would be on a separate machine, but here we are keeping things as simple as possible.

Configuration

Clone the kayobe-config git repository, using the correct branch for the release you are deploying. In this example we will use the master branch.

cd <base path>/src
git clone https://opendev.org/openstack/kayobe-config -b master
cd kayobe-config

This repository is bare, and needs to be populated. The repository includes an example inventory, which should be removed:

git rm etc/kayobe/inventory/hosts.example

Create an Ansible inventory file and add the machine to it. In this example our machine is called controller0. Since this is an all-in-one environment, we add the controller to the compute group, however normally dedicated compute nodes would be used.

# This host acts as the configuration management Ansible control host. This must be
# localhost.
localhost ansible_connection=local

[controllers]
controller0

[compute:children]
controllers

The inventory directory also contains group variables for network interface configuration. In this example we will assume that the machine has a single network interface called eth0. We will create a bridge called breth0 and plug eth0 into it. This allows us to move the host's IP address to the bridge, and pass traffic through to an Open vSwitch bridge for Neutron. Replace the network interface configuration for the controllers group with the following, replacing eth0 with an appropriate interface:

# Controller interface on all-in-one network.
aio_interface: breth0

# Interface eth0 is plugged into the all-in-one network bridge.
aio_bridge_ports:
  - eth0

In this scenario a single network called aio is used. We must therefore set the name of the default controller networks to aio:

Next the aio network must be defined. This is done using the various attributes described in /configuration/reference/network. These values should be adjusted to match the environment. The aio_vip_address variable should be a free IP address in the same subnet for the virtual IP address of the OpenStack API.

<omitted for clarity>

# All-in-one network.
aio_cidr: 192.168.33.0/24

Kayobe will automatically allocate IP addresses. In this case however, we want to ensure that the host uses the same IP address it has currently, to avoid loss of connectivity. We can do this by populating the network allocation file. Use the correct hostname and IP address for your environment.

aio_ips:
  controller0: 192.168.33.3

In a development environment, we may wish to tune some Kolla Ansible variables. Using QEMU as the virtualisation type will be necessary if KVM is not available. Reducing the number of OpenStack service workers helps to avoid using too much memory.

---
# Most development environments will use nested virtualisation, and we can't
# guarantee that nested KVM support is available. Use QEMU as a lowest common
# denominator.
nova_compute_virt_type: qemu

# Reduce the control plane's memory footprint by limiting the number of worker
# processes to one per-service.
openstack_service_workers: "1"

Activate the Kayobe configuration environment:

source kayobe-env

Bootstrap the control host:

kayobe control host bootstrap

Configure the overcloud host:

kayobe overcloud host configure

The previous command is likely to reboot the machine to disable SELinux. SSH again when it has booted, activate the Kayobe environment and complete the host configuration:

kayobe overcloud host configure

Pull overcloud container images:

kayobe overcloud container image pull

Deploy overcloud services:

kayobe overcloud service deploy

There is an issue with Docker where it changes the default policy of the FORWARD chain to DROP. This prevents traffic traversing the bridge. Revert this change:

sudo iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT

The init-runonce script provided by Kolla Ansible (not for production) can be used to setup some resources for testing. This includes:

• some flavors
• a cirros image
• an external network
• a tenant network and router
• security group rules for ICMP, SSH, and TCP ports 8000 and 8080
• an SSH key
• increased quotas

For the external network, use the same subnet as before, with an allocation pool range containing free IP addresses:

pip install python-openstackclient
export EXT_NET_CIDR=192.168.33.0/24
export EXT_NET_GATEWAY=192.168.33.1
export EXT_NET_RANGE="start=192.168.33.4,end=192.168.33.254"
source "${KOLLA_CONFIG_PATH:-/etc/kolla}/admin-openrc.sh"
${KOLLA_SOURCE_PATH}/tools/init-runonce

Create a server instance, assign a floating IP address, and check that it is accessible. The floating IP address is displayed after it is created, in this example it is 192.168.33.4:

openstack server create --image cirros --flavor m1.tiny --key-name mykey --network demo-net demo1
openstack floating ip create public1
openstack server add floating ip demo1 192.168.33.4
ssh cirros@192.168.33.4
