This section describes how to install and configure the Compute service, code-named nova, on the controller node. Before you install and configure Compute, you must create a database and Identity service credentials including endpoints. To create the database, complete these steps: Use the database access client to connect to the database server as the root user: $ mysql -u root -p Create the nova database: mysql> CREATE DATABASE nova; Grant proper access to the nova database: mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON nova.* TO 'nova'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'NOVA_DBPASS'; mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON nova.* TO 'nova'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'NOVA_DBPASS'; Replace NOVA_DBPASS with a suitable password. Exit the database access client: mysql> exit Source the admin credentials to gain access to admin-only CLI commands: $ source admin-openrc.sh To create the Identity service credentials, complete these steps: Create the nova user: $ keystone user-create --name=nova --pass=NOVA_PASS --email=EMAIL_ADDRESS Replace NOVA_PASS with a suitable password and EMAIL_ADDRESS with a suitable e-mail address. Link the nova user to the service tenant and admin role: $ keystone user-role-add --user=nova --tenant=service --role=admin Create the nova service: $ keystone service-create --name=nova --type=compute --description="OpenStack Compute" Create the Compute service endpoints: $ keystone endpoint-create \ --service-id=$(keystone service-list | awk '/ compute / {print $2}') \ --publicurl=http://controller:8774/v2/%\(tenant_id\)s \ --internalurl=http://controller:8774/v2/%\(tenant_id\)s \ --adminurl=http://controller:8774/v2/%\(tenant_id\)s Install the packages: # apt-get install nova-api nova-cert nova-conductor nova-consoleauth \ nova-novncproxy nova-scheduler python-novaclient # yum install openstack-nova-api openstack-nova-cert openstack-nova-conductor \ openstack-nova-console openstack-nova-novncproxy openstack-nova-scheduler \ python-novaclient # zypper install openstack-nova-api openstack-nova-scheduler \ openstack-nova-cert openstack-nova-conductor openstack-nova-console \ openstack-nova-consoleauth openstack-nova-novncproxy python-novaclient Edit the /etc/nova/nova.conf file and complete the following actions: In the [database] section, configure database access: [database] ... connection = mysql://nova:NOVA_DBPASS@controller/nova Replace NOVA_DBPASS with the password you chose for the Compute database. In the [DEFAULT] section, configure RabbitMQ message broker access: [DEFAULT] ... rpc_backend = rabbit rabbit_host = controller rabbit_password = RABBIT_PASS Replace RABBIT_PASS with the password you chose for the guest account in RabbitMQ. In the [keystone_authtoken] section, configure Identity service access: [keystone_authtoken] ... auth_uri = http://controller:5000/v2.0 auth_host = controller auth_port = 35357 auth_protocol = http admin_tenant_name = service admin_user = nova admin_password = NOVA_PASS Replace NOVA_PASS with the password you chose for the nova user in the Identity service. In the [DEFAULT] section, configure the my_ip key to use the management interface IP address of the controller node: [DEFAULT] ... my_ip = 10.0.0.11 In the [DEFAULT] section, configure the VNC proxy to use the management interface IP address of the controller node: [DEFAULT] ... vncserver_listen = 10.0.0.11 vncserver_proxyclient_address = 10.0.0.11 In the [DEFAULT] section, configure the location of the Image Service: [DEFAULT] ... glance_host = controller Populate the Compute database: # su -s /bin/sh -c "nova-manage db sync" nova Install the packages: # apt-get install nova-api nova-cert nova-conductor nova-consoleauth \ nova-novncproxy nova-scheduler python-novaclient Respond to prompts for database management, Identity service credentials, service endpoint registration, and message broker credentials. Edit the /etc/nova/nova.conf file and complete the following actions: In the [DEFAULT] section, configure the VNC proxy to use the management interface IP address of the controller node: [DEFAULT] ... vncserver_listen = 10.0.0.11 vncserver_proxyclient_address = 10.0.0.11 Restart the Compute services: # service nova-api restart # service nova-cert restart # service nova-consoleauth restart # service nova-scheduler restart # service nova-conductor restart # service nova-novncproxy restart Start the Compute services and configure them to start when the system boots: # service openstack-nova-api start # service openstack-nova-cert start # service openstack-nova-consoleauth start # service openstack-nova-scheduler start # service openstack-nova-conductor start # service openstack-nova-novncproxy start # chkconfig openstack-nova-api on # chkconfig openstack-nova-cert on # chkconfig openstack-nova-consoleauth on # chkconfig openstack-nova-scheduler on # chkconfig openstack-nova-conductor on # chkconfig openstack-nova-novncproxy on By default, the Ubuntu packages create an SQLite database. Because this configuration uses a SQL database server, you can remove the SQLite database file: # rm /var/lib/nova/nova.sqlite
