Install the OpenStack Orchestration service on the controller node: # apt-get install heat-api heat-api-cfn heat-engine Respond to prompts for database management, [keystone_authtoken] settings, RabbitMQ credentials and API endpoint registration. Install the OpenStack Orchestration service on the controller node: # apt-get install heat-api heat-api-cfn heat-engine # yum install openstack-heat-api openstack-heat-engine \ openstack-heat-api-cfn # zypper install openstack-heat-api openstack-heat-api-cfn \ openstack-heat-engine In the configuration file, specify the location of the database where the Orchestration service stores data. These examples use a MySQL database with a heat user on the controller node. Replace HEAT_DBPASS with the password for the database user: # openstack-config --set /etc/heat/heat.conf \ database connection mysql://heat:HEAT_DBPASS@controller/heat Edit /etc/heat/heat.conf and change the [DEFAULT] section. [database] # The SQLAlchemy connection string used to connect to the database connection = mysql://heat:HEAT_DBPASS@controller/heat ... By default, the Ubuntu packages create an SQLite database. Delete the heat.sqlite file that was created in the /var/lib/heat/ directory so that it does not get used by mistake. Use the password that you set previously to log in as root and create a heat database user: # mysql -u root -p mysql> CREATE DATABASE heat; mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON heat.* TO 'heat'@'localhost' \ IDENTIFIED BY 'HEAT_DBPASS'; mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON heat.* TO 'heat'@'%' \ IDENTIFIED BY 'HEAT_DBPASS'; Create the heat service tables: # heat-manage db_sync Ignore DeprecationWarning errors. The Ubuntu packages do not correctly set up logging. Edit the /etc/heat/heat.conf file and change the [DEFAULT] section: [DEFAULT] ... # Print more verbose output (set logging level to INFO instead # of default WARNING level). (boolean value) verbose = True ... # (Optional) The base directory used for relative --log-file # paths (string value) log_dir=/var/log/heat Configure the Orchestration Service to use the RabbitMQ message broker. Edit /etc/heat/heat.conf and modify the [DEFAULT] section: rabbit_host = controller rabbit_password = RABBIT_PASS Run the following commands: # openstack-config --set /etc/heat/heat.conf DEFAULT rabbit_host controller # openstack-config --set /etc/heat/heat.conf DEFAULT rabbit_password RABBIT_PASS Create a heat user that the Orchestration service can use to authenticate with the Identity Service. Use the service tenant and give the user the admin role: # keystone user-create --name=heat --pass=HEAT_PASS \ --email=heat@example.com # keystone user-role-add --user=heat --tenant=service --role=admin Edit the /etc/heat/heat.conf file to change the [keystone_authtoken] and [ec2_authtoken] sections to add credentials to the Orchestration Service: [keystone_authtoken] auth_host = controller auth_port = 35357 auth_protocol = http auth_uri = http://controller:5000/v2.0 admin_tenant_name = service admin_user = heat admin_password = HEAT_PASS [ec2_authtoken] auth_uri = http://controller:5000/v2.0 keystone_ec2_uri = http://controller:5000/v2.0/ec2tokens Register the Heat and CloudFormation APIs with the Identity Service so that other OpenStack services can locate these APIs. Register the service and specify the endpoint: # keystone service-create --name=heat --type=orchestration \ --description="Heat Orchestration API" Use the id property that is returned for the service to create the endpoint: # keystone endpoint-create \ --service-id=the_service_id_above \ --publicurl=http://controller:8004/v1/%\(tenant_id\)s \ --internalurl=http://controller:8004/v1/%\(tenant_id\)s \ --adminurl=http://controller:8004/v1/%\(tenant_id\)s # keystone service-create --name=heat-cfn --type=cloudformation \ --description="Heat CloudFormation API" Use the id property that is returned for the service to create the endpoint: # keystone endpoint-create \ --service-id=the_service_id_above \ --publicurl=http://controller:8000/v1 \ --internalurl=http://controller:8000/v1 \ --adminurl=http://controller:8000/v1 Restart the service with its new settings: # service heat-api restart # service heat-api-cfn restart # service heat-engine restart Start the heat-api, heat-api-cfn and heat-engine services and configure them to start when the system boots: # service openstack-heat-api start # service openstack-heat-api-cfn start # service openstack-heat-engine start # chkconfig openstack-heat-api on # chkconfig openstack-heat-api-cfn on # chkconfig openstack-heat-engine on
