Verifying OpenStack operation

Verify basic operation of the OpenStack API and dashboard.

Procedure 8.1. Verifying the API

The utility container provides a CLI environment for additional configuration and testing.

1. Determine the utility container name:

   # lxc-ls | grep utility
   infra1_utility_container-161a4084

2. Access the utility container:

   # lxc-attach -n infra1_utility_container-161a4084

3. Source the admin tenant credentials:

   # source /root/openrc

4. Run an OpenStack command that uses one or more APIs. For example:

   # openstack user list

   +----------------------------------+--------------------+

Procedure 8.2. Verifying the dashboard

1. With a web browser, access the dashboard using the external load balancer IP address defined by the external_lb_vip_address option in the /etc/openstack_deploy/openstack_user_config.yml file. The dashboard uses HTTPS on port 443.
2. Authenticate using the username admin and password defined by the keystone_auth_admin_password option in the /etc/openstack_deploy/user_variables.yml file.

Uploading public images using the dashboard or CLI can only be performed by users with administrator privileges.
