Install and configure compute node

The compute node handles connectivity and security groups <security group> for instances.

Prerequisites

Before you install and configure OpenStack Networking, you must configure kernel networking parameters to disable reverse-path filtering:

  1. Edit the /etc/sysctl.conf file to contain the following parameters:

    net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter=0
    net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter=0
  2. Implement the changes:

    # sysctl -p

ubuntu or rdo or obs

Install the components

ubuntu

# apt-get install neutron-plugin-linuxbridge-agent

rdo

# yum install openstack-neutron-linuxbridge

obs

# zypper install --no-recommends openstack-neutron-linuxbridge-agent ipset

debian

Install and configure the Networking components

  1. # apt-get install neutron-plugin-linuxbridge-agent
  2. Respond to prompts for database management, Identity service credentials, service endpoint, and message queue credentials.

  3. Select the ML2 plug-in:

    Neutron plug-in selection dialog

    Note

    Selecting the ML2 plug-in also populates the service_plugins and allow_overlapping_ips options in the /etc/neutron/neutron.conf file with the appropriate values.

Configure the common component

The Networking common component configuration includes the authentication mechanism, message queue, and plug-in.

  1. Edit the /etc/neutron/neutron.conf file and complete the following actions:
    • In the [database] section, comment out any connection options because compute nodes do not directly access the database.

    • In the [DEFAULT] and [oslo_messaging_rabbit] sections, configure RabbitMQ message queue access:

      [DEFAULT]
      ...
      rpc_backend = rabbit
      
      [oslo_messaging_rabbit]
      ...
      rabbit_host = controller
      rabbit_userid = openstack
      rabbit_password = RABBIT_PASS

      Replace RABBIT_PASS with the password you chose for the openstack account in RabbitMQ.

    • In the [DEFAULT] and [keystone_authtoken] sections, configure Identity service access:

      [DEFAULT]
      ...
      auth_strategy = keystone
      
      [keystone_authtoken]
      ...
      auth_uri = http://controller:5000
      auth_url = http://controller:35357
      auth_plugin = password
      project_domain_id = default
      user_domain_id = default
      project_name = service
      username = neutron
      password = NEUTRON_PASS

      Replace NEUTRON_PASS with the password you chose for the neutron user in the Identity service.

      Note

      Comment out or remove any other options in the [keystone_authtoken] section.

    • (Optional) To assist with troubleshooting, enable verbose logging in the [DEFAULT] section:

      [DEFAULT]
      ...
      verbose = True

Configure networking options

Choose the same networking option that you chose for the controller node to configure services specific to it.

Note

Option 2 augments option 1 with the layer-3 (routing) service and enables self-service (private) networks. If you want to use public (provider) and private (self-service) networks, choose option 2.

Configure Compute to use Networking

  1. Edit the /etc/nova/nova.conf file and complete the following actions:
    • In the [neutron] section, configure access parameters:

      [neutron]
      ...
      url = http://controller:9696
      auth_url = http://controller:35357
      auth_plugin = password
      project_domain_id = default
      user_domain_id = default
      region_name = RegionOne
      project_name = service
      username = neutron
      password = NEUTRON_PASS

      Replace NEUTRON_PASS with the password you chose for the neutron user in the Identity service.

Finalize installation

rdo

  1. The Networking service initialization scripts expect a symbolic link /etc/neutron/plugin.ini pointing to the ML2 plug-in configuration file, /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf.ini. If this symbolic link does not exist, create it using the following command:

    # ln -s /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf.ini /etc/neutron/plugin.ini
  2. Due to a packaging issue, the Linux bridge agent initialization script explicitly looks for the Linux bridge plug-in configuration file rather than the agent configuration file. Run the following commands to resolve this issue:

    # cp /usr/lib/systemd/system/neutron-linuxbridge-agent.service \
      /usr/lib/systemd/system/neutron-linuxbridge-agent.service.orig
    # sed -i 's,openvswitch/linuxbridge_neutron_plugin.ini,ml2/linuxbridge_agent.ini,g' \
      /usr/lib/systemd/system/neutron-linuxbridge-agent.service

    Note

    Future upgrades of the neutron-linuxbridge-agent package may overwrite this modification.

  3. Restart the Compute service:

    # systemctl restart openstack-nova-compute.service
  4. Start the Linux bridge agent and configure it to start when the system boots:

    # systemctl enable neutron-linuxbridge-agent.service
    # systemctl start neutron-linuxbridge-agent.service

obs

  1. The Networking service initialization scripts expect the variable NEUTRON_PLUGIN_CONF in the /etc/sysconfig/neutron file to reference the ML2 plug-in configuration file. Edit the /etc/sysconfig/neutron file and add the following:

    NEUTRON_PLUGIN_CONF="/etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf.ini"
  2. Restart the Compute service:

    # systemctl restart openstack-nova-compute.service
  3. Start the Linux Bridge agent and configure it to start when the system boots:

    # systemctl enable openstack-neutron-linuxbridge-agent.service
    # systemctl start openstack-neutron-linuxbridge-agent.service

ubuntu or debian

  1. Restart the Compute service:

    # service nova-compute restart
  2. Restart the Linux bridge agent:

    # service neutron-plugin-linuxbridge-agent restart
