<title>Basic operating system configuration</title>
<para>This guide shows you how to create a controller node to host
most services and a compute node to run virtual machine instances.
Subsequent chapters create additional nodes to run more services.
OpenStack is flexible about how and where you run each service, so
other configurations are possible. However, you must configure
certain operating system settings on each node.</para>
<para>This chapter details a sample configuration for the controller
node and any additional nodes. You can configure the operating
system in other ways, but this guide assumes that your
configuration is compatible with the one described here.</para>
<para>All example commands assume you have administrative
privileges. Either run the commands as the root user or prefix
them with the <command>sudo</command> command.</para>
<section xml:id="before-you-begin">
<title>Before you begin</title>
<para>We strongly recommend that you install a 64-bit operating system on
your compute nodes. If you use a 32-bit operating system,
attempting a start a virtual machine using a 64-bit image will fail
with an error.</para>

<title>Networking</title>
<para>For an OpenStack production deployment, most nodes must have
these network interface cards:</para>

<para>One network interface card for external network traffic

<para>For simple test cases, you can use machines with a single

<para>The following example configures Networking on two networks
with static IP addresses and manually manages a list of host
names on each machine. If you manage a large network, you might
already have systems in place to manage this. If so, you can
skip this section but note that the rest of this guide assumes
that each node can reach the other nodes on the internal network
by using the <literal>controller</literal> and
<literal>compute1</literal> host names.</para>

<para>The Debian OpenStack packages are maintained on Debian Sid

one caveat:</para>
<para>All OpenStack packages are written in Python. Wheezy uses
Python 2.6 and 2.7, with Python 2.6 as the default interpreter;
Sid has only Python 2.7. There is one packaging change between
these two. In Python 2.6, you installed the

Python 2.7, this package is installed by default. Unfortunately,
in Python 2.7, this package does not include <code>Provides:
python-argparse</code> directive.</para>
<para>Because the packages are maintained in Sid where the
<code>Provides: python-argparse</code> directive causes an
error, and the Debian OpenStack maintainer wants to maintain one
version of the OpenStack packages, you must manually install the
<package>python-argparse</package> on each OpenStack system
that runs Debian Wheezy before you install the other OpenStack
packages. Use the following command to install the
package:</para>

<title>Important security consideration</title>
<para>The <package>rabbitmq-server</package> package configures
the RabbitMQ service to start automatically and creates a
<literal>guest</literal> user with a default
<literal>guest</literal> password. The RabbitMQ examples in
this guide use the <literal>guest</literal> account, though it
is strongly advised to change its default password, especially
if you have IPv6 available: by default the RabbitMQ server
enables anyone to connect to it by using guest as login and
password, and with IPv6, it is reachable from the
outside.</para>
<para>To change the default guest password of RabbitMQ:</para>
