============ Installation ============ The installation process requires running three main playbooks: - The ``setup-hosts.yml`` Ansible foundation playbook prepares the target hosts for infrastructure and OpenStack services, builds and restarts containers on target hosts, and installs common components into containers on target hosts. - The ``setup-infrastructure.yml`` Ansible infrastructure playbook installs infrastructure services: memcached, the repository server, Galera, RabbitMQ, and Rsyslog. - The ``setup-openstack.yml`` OpenStack playbook installs OpenStack services, including the Identity service (keystone), Image service (glance), Block Storage (cinder), Compute service (nova), OpenStack Networking (neutron), Orchestration (heat), Dashboard (horizon), Telemetry service (ceilometer and aodh), Object Storage service (swift), and OpenStack Bare Metal provisioning (ironic). Checking the integrity of your configuration files ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Before running any playbook, check the integrity of your configuration files. #. Ensure all files edited in ``/etc/openstack_deploy`` are Ansible YAML compliant. Guidelines can be found here: ``_ #. Check the integrity of your YAML files. .. note:: To check your lint online, we recommend: ``_. #. Run your command with ``syntax-check``: .. code-block:: shell-session # openstack-ansible setup-infrastructure.yml --syntax-check #. Recheck that all indentation is correct. This is important as the syntax of the configuration files can be correct while not being meaningful for OpenStack-Ansible. .. _run-playbooks: Run playbooks ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ .. figure:: figures/installation-workflow-run-playbooks.png :width: 100% #.

Run the OpenStack setup playbook: .. code-block:: console # openstack-ansible setup-openstack.yml Confirm satisfactory completion with zero items unreachable or failed. Utility container ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The utility container provides a space where miscellaneous tools and software are installed. Tools and objects are placed in a utility container if they do not require a dedicated container or if it is impractical to create a new container for a single tool or object. Utility containers are also used when tools cannot be installed directly onto a host. For example, the tempest playbooks are installed on the utility container since tempest testing does not need a container of its own. .. _verify-operation: Verifying OpenStack operation ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ .. figure:: figures/installation-workflow-verify-openstack.png :width: 100% .. TODO Add procedures to test different layers of the OpenStack environment The utility container provides a CLI environment for additional configuration and testing. The following instructions are to be done on an infra host. #. Determine the utility container name: .. code-block:: console # lxc-ls | grep utility infra1_utility_container-161a4084 #. Access the utility container: .. code-block:: console # lxc-attach -n infra1_utility_container-161a4084 #. Source the ``admin`` tenant credentials: .. code-block:: console # source /root/openrc #. Run an OpenStack command that uses one or more APIs.
