Matthew Kassawara 6c185febf6 Install: Environment updates for Mitaka
Update environment configuration for Mitaka.

1) Change SQL database configuration file name to
   something less clunky.
2) Improve consistency of SQL database configuration
   among distributions.
3) Change RDO to use the PyMySQL library.
4) Add pre-release package repositories for testing
   purposes. Remove after release of Mitaka packages.
5) Move Memcached content from keystone because all
   services use it, but in a different way than in
   Liberty.

SQL database

Most OpenStack services use an SQL database to store information. The database typically runs on the controller node. The procedures in this guide use MariaDB or MySQL depending on the distribution. OpenStack services also support other SQL databases including PostgreSQL.

Install and configure components

  1. Install the packages:

    ubuntu

    # apt-get install mariadb-server python-pymysql

    debian

    # apt-get install mysql-server python-pymysql

    rdo

    # yum install mariadb mariadb-server python2-PyMySQL

    obs

    # zypper install mariadb-client mariadb python-PyMySQL

ubuntu or debian

  1. Choose a suitable password for the database root account.
  2. Create and edit the /etc/mysql/conf.d/openstack.cnf file and complete the following actions:
    • In the [mysqld] section, set the bind-address key to the management IP address of the controller node to enable access by other nodes via the management network:

      [mysqld]
      ...
      bind-address = 10.0.0.11
    • In the [mysqld] section, set the following keys to enable useful options and the UTF-8 character set:

      [mysqld]
      ...
      default-storage-engine = innodb
      innodb_file_per_table
      collation-server = utf8_general_ci
      character-set-server = utf8

obs or rdo

  1. Create and edit the /etc/my.cnf.d/openstack.cnf file and complete the following actions:
    • In the [mysqld] section, set the bind-address key to the management IP address of the controller node to enable access by other nodes via the management network:

      [mysqld]
      ...
      bind-address = 10.0.0.11
    • In the [mysqld] section, set the following keys to enable useful options and the UTF-8 character set:

      [mysqld]
      ...
      default-storage-engine = innodb
      innodb_file_per_table
      collation-server = utf8_general_ci
      character-set-server = utf8

Finalize installation

ubuntu or debian

  1. Restart the database service:

    # service mysql restart

rdo or obs

  1. Start the database service and configure it to start when the system boots:

    rdo

    # systemctl enable mariadb.service
    # systemctl start mariadb.service

    obs

    # systemctl enable mysql.service
    # systemctl start mysql.service

ubuntu

  1. Secure the database service by running the mysql_secure_installation script.

    # mysql_secure_installation

rdo or obs

  1. Secure the database service by running the mysql_secure_installation script. In particular, choose a suitable password for the database root account.

    # mysql_secure_installation
