Launch an instance on the self-service network
Determine instance options
To launch an instance, you must at least specify the flavor, image name, network, security group, key, and instance name.
On the controller node, source the
demo
credentials to gain access to user-only CLI commands:$ . demo-openrc
A flavor specifies a virtual resource allocation profile which includes processor, memory, and storage.
List available flavors:
$ openstack flavor list +----+---------+-----+------+-----------+-------+-----------+ | ID | Name | RAM | Disk | Ephemeral | VCPUs | Is Public | +----+---------+-----+------+-----------+-------+-----------+ | 0 | m1.nano | 64 | 1 | 0 | 1 | True | +----+---------+-----+------+-----------+-------+-----------+
Note
You can also reference a flavor by ID.
List available images:

Check the status of your instance:
$ openstack server list +--------------------------------------+----------------------+--------+------------------------+ | ID | Name | Status | Networks | +--------------------------------------+----------------------+--------+------------------------+ | 113c5892-e58e-4093-88c7-e33f502eaaa4 | selfservice-instance | ACTIVE | selfservice=172.16.1.3 | | 181c52ba-aebc-4c32-a97d-2e8e82e4eaaf | provider-instance | ACTIVE | provider=203.0.113.103 | +--------------------------------------+----------------------+--------+------------------------+
The status changes from
BUILD
toACTIVE
when the build process successfully completes.
Access the instance using a virtual console
Obtain a
Virtual Network Computing (VNC)
session URL for your instance and access it from a web browser:$ openstack console url show selfservice-instance +-------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Field | Value | +-------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | type | novnc | | url | http://controller:6080/vnc_auto.html?token=5eeccb47-525c-4918-ac2a-3ad1e9f1f493 | +-------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Note
If your web browser runs on a host that cannot resolve the
controller
host name, you can replacecontroller
with the IP address of the management interface on your controller node.The CirrOS image includes conventional user name/password authentication and provides these credentials at the login prompt. After logging into CirrOS, we recommend that you verify network connectivity using
ping
.Verify access to the self-service network gateway:
$ ping -c 4 172.16.1.1 PING 172.16.1.1 (172.16.1.1) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 172.16.1.1: icmp_req=1 ttl=64 time=0.357 ms 64 bytes from 172.16.1.1: icmp_req=2 ttl=64 time=0.473 ms 64 bytes from 172.16.1.1: icmp_req=3 ttl=64 time=0.504 ms 64 bytes from 172.16.1.1: icmp_req=4 ttl=64 time=0.470 ms --- 172.16.1.1 ping statistics --- 4 packets transmitted, 4 received, 0% packet loss, time 2998ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.357/0.451/0.504/0.055 ms
Verify access to the internet:

Access the instance remotely
Create a
floating IP address
on the provider virtual network:$ openstack floating ip create provider +---------------------+--------------------------------------+ | Field | Value | +---------------------+--------------------------------------+ | created_at | 2017-01-20T17:29:16Z | | description | | | fixed_ip_address | None | | floating_ip_address | 203.0.113.104 | | floating_network_id | b5b6993c-ddf9-40e7-91d0-86806a42edb8 | | headers | | | id | 88b4d06a-d794-4406-affd-6ffa2bcf1e2a | | port_id | None | | project_id | ed0b60bf607743088218b0a533d5943f | | revision_number | 1 | | router_id | None | | status | DOWN | | updated_at | 2017-01-20T17:29:16Z | +---------------------+--------------------------------------+
Associate the floating IP address with the instance:
$ openstack server add floating ip selfservice-instance 203.0.113.104
Note
This command provides no output.
Check the status of your floating IP address:
$ openstack server list +--------------------------------------+----------------------+--------+---------------------------------------+ | ID | Name | Status | Networks | +--------------------------------------+----------------------+--------+---------------------------------------+ | 113c5892-e58e-4093-88c7-e33f502eaaa4 | selfservice-instance | ACTIVE | selfservice=172.16.1.3, 203.0.113.104 | | 181c52ba-aebc-4c32-a97d-2e8e82e4eaaf | provider-instance | ACTIVE | provider=203.0.113.103 | +--------------------------------------+----------------------+--------+---------------------------------------+
Verify connectivity to the instance via floating IP address from the controller node or any host on the provider physical network:

Access your instance using SSH from the controller node or any host on the provider physical network:
$ ssh cirros@203.0.113.104 The authenticity of host '203.0.113.104 (203.0.113.104)' can't be established. RSA key fingerprint is ed:05:e9:e7:52:a0:ff:83:68:94:c7:d1:f2:f8:e2:e9.
