Verify the Database service installation To verify that the Database service is installed and configured correctly, try executing a trove command: Source the demo-openrc.sh file. $ source ~/demo-openrc.sh Retrieve the trove instances list: $ trove list You should see output similar to this: +----+------+-----------+-------------------+--------+-----------+------+ | id | name | datastore | datastore_version | status | flavor_id | size | +----+------+-----------+-------------------+--------+-----------+------+ +----+------+-----------+-------------------+--------+-----------+------+ Assuming you have created an image for the type of database you want, and have updated the datastore to use that image, you can now create a trove instance (Database service). To do this, use the trove create command. This example shows you how to create a MySQL 5.5 database: $ trove create name 2 --size=2 --databases DBNAME \ --users USER:PASSWORD --datastore_version mysql-5.5 \ --datastore mysql
