This section explains how to configure the controller node and one compute
|
|
node using the example architecture.
|
|
|
|
Although most environments include Identity, Image service, Compute, at least
|
|
one networking service, and the Dashboard, the Object Storage service can
|
|
operate independently. If your use case only involves Object Storage, you can
|
|
skip to
|

|
after configuring the appropriate nodes for it.
|
|
|
|
You must use an account with administrative privileges to configure each node.
|
|
Either run the commands as the ``root`` user or configure the ``sudo``
|
|
utility.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
The :command:`systemctl enable` call on openSUSE outputs a warning
|
|
message when the service uses SysV Init scripts instead of native
|
|
systemd files. This warning can be ignored.
|
|
|
|
|
|
For best performance, we recommend that your environment meets or exceeds
|
|
the hardware requirements in :ref:`figure-hwreqs`.
|
|
|
|
The following minimum requirements should support a proof-of-concept
|
|
environment with core services and several :term:`CirrOS` instances:
|
|
|
|
* Controller Node: 1 processor, 4 GB memory, and 5 GB storage
|
|
|
|
* Compute Node: 1 processor, 2 GB memory, and 10 GB storage
|
|
|
|
As the number of OpenStack services and virtual machines increase, so do the
|
|
hardware requirements for the best performance. If performance degrades after
|
|
enabling additional services or virtual machines, consider adding hardware
|
|
resources to your environment.
|
|
|
|
To minimize clutter and provide more resources for OpenStack, we recommend
|
|
a minimal installation of your Linux distribution. Also, you must install a
|
|
64-bit version of your distribution on each node.
|
|
|
|
A single disk partition on each node works for most basic installations.
|
|
However, you should consider :term:`Logical Volume Manager (LVM)` for
|
|
installations with optional services such as Block Storage.
|
|
|
|
For first-time installation and testing purposes, many users select to build
|
|
each host as a :term:`virtual machine (VM)`. The primary benefits of VMs
|
|
include the following:
|
|
|
|
* One physical server can support multiple nodes, each with almost any
|
|
number of network interfaces.
|
|
|
|
* Ability to take periodic "snap shots" throughout the installation
|
|
process and "roll back" to a working configuration in the event of a
|
|
problem.
|
|
|
|
However, VMs will reduce performance of your instances, particularly if
|
|
your hypervisor and/or processor lacks support for hardware acceleration
|
|
of nested VMs.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
If you choose to install on VMs, make sure your hypervisor provides
|
|
a way to disable MAC address filtering on the provider network
|
|
interface.
