Configuring target hosts

Modify the /etc/openstack_deploy/openstack_user_config.yml file to configure the target hosts.

Do not assign the same IP address to different target hostnames. Unexpected results may occur. Each IP address and hostname must be a matching pair. To use the same host in multiple roles, for example infrastructure and networking, specify the same hostname and IP in each section.

Use short hostnames rather than fully-qualified domain names (FQDN) to prevent length limitation issues with LXC and SSH. For example, a suitable short hostname for a compute host might be: 123456-Compute001.

1. Configure a list containing at least three infrastructure target hosts in the shared-infra_hosts section:

   shared-infra_hosts:
     603975-infra01:
       ip: INFRA01_IP_ADDRESS
     603989-infra02:
       ip: INFRA02_IP_ADDRESS
     627116-infra03:
       ip: INFRA03_IP_ADDRESS
     628771-infra04: ...

   Replace *_IP_ADDRESS with the IP address of the br-mgmt container management bridge on each infrastructure target host. Use the same net block as bond0 on the nodes, for example:

   shared-infra_hosts:
     603975-infra01:
       ip: 10.240.0.80
     603989-infra02:
       ip: 10.240.0.81
     627116-infra03:
       ip: 10.240.0.184

2. Configure a list containing at least two infrastructure target hosts in the os-infra_hosts section (you can reuse previous hosts as long as their name and ip is consistent):

   os-infra_hosts:
     603975-infra01:
       ip: INFRA01_IP_ADDRESS
     603989-infra02:
       ip: INFRA02_IP_ADDRESS
     627116-infra03:
       ip: INFRA03_IP_ADDRESS
     628771-infra04: ...

   Replace *_IP_ADDRESS with the IP address of the br-mgmt container management bridge on each infrastructure target host. Use the same net block as bond0 on the nodes, for example:

   os-infra_hosts:
     603975-infra01:
       ip: 10.240.0.80
     603989-infra02:
       ip: 10.240.0.81
     627116-infra03:
       ip: 10.240.0.184

3. Configure a list containing at least one network target host in the network_hosts section:

   network_hosts:
     602117-network01:
       ip: NETWORK01_IP_ADDRESS
     602534-network02: ...

   Replace *_IP_ADDRESS with the IP address of the br-mgmt container management bridge on each network target host.

4. Configure a list containing at least one compute target host in the compute_hosts section:

   compute_hosts:
     900089-compute001:
       ip: COMPUTE001_IP_ADDRESS
     900090-compute002: ...

   Replace *_IP_ADDRESS with the IP address of the br-mgmt container management bridge on each compute target host.

5. Configure a list containing at least one logging target host in the log_hosts section:

   log_hosts:
     900088-logging01:
       ip: LOGGER1_IP_ADDRESS
     903877-logging02: ...

   Replace *_IP_ADDRESS with the IP address of the br-mgmt container management bridge on each logging target host.

6. Configure a list containing at least one repository target host in the repo-infra_hosts section:

   repo-infra_hosts:
     603975-repo01:
       ip: REPO01_IP_ADDRESS
     603989-repo02:
       ip: REPO02_IP_ADDRESS
     627116-repo03:
       ip: REPO03_IP_ADDRESS
     628771-repo04: ...

   Replace *_IP_ADDRESS with the IP address of the br-mgmt container management bridge on each repository target host.

   The repository typically resides on one or more infrastructure hosts. Alternatively, specify a value for the openstack_repo_url variable in the /etc/openstack_deploy/user_group_vars.yml file. The value should contain a URL for a host with the appropriate repository layout. For example:

   openstack_repo_url: "https://rpc-repo.rackspace.com/"

   Using repo-infra_hosts configures a local repository with the appropriate layout and sets openstack_repo_url for you.

7. Configure a list containing at least one optional storage host in the storage_hosts section:

   storage_hosts:
     100338-storage01:
       ip: STORAGE01_IP_ADDRESS
     100392-storage02: ...

   Replace *_IP_ADDRESS with the IP address of the br-mgmt container management bridge on each storage target host. Each storage host also requires additional configuration to define the back end driver.

   The default configuration includes an optional storage host. To install without storage hosts, comment out the stanza beginning with the storage_hosts: line.
