Install and configure compute node

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

Install the components

# apt-get install neutron-linuxbridge-agent

Respond to prompts for
:doc:`database management <debconf/debconf-dbconfig-common>`
(leave it not-configured, as compute nodes do not need database access),
:doc:`Identity service credentials <debconf/debconf-keystone-authtoken>`,
:doc:`service endpoint registration <debconf/debconf-api-endpoints>`,
and :doc:`message broker credentials <debconf/debconf-rabbitmq>`.

Configure the common component

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

  • 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.

Configure networking options

Choose the same networking option that you chose for the controller node to configure services specific to it. Afterwards, return here and proceed to neutron-compute-compute.
