In our fourth sequel, we are going to install Openstack Nova on the controll node.
Nova is the OpenStack project that provides a way to provision compute instances (aka virtual servers). Nova supports creating virtual machines, baremetal servers (through the use of ironic), and has limited support for system containers. Nova runs as a set of daemons on top of existing Linux servers to provide that service.

Add Nova and placement users to Keystore, make them admin roles and add the various endpoints as shown below
[[email protected] ~(keystone)]# openstack user create --domain default --project service --password pepe123 nova +---------------------+----------------------------------+ | Field | Value | +---------------------+----------------------------------+ | default_project_id | d13375a7f48b4642abc74ad68d6ffe4b | | domain_id | default | | enabled | True | | id | 419b4fec4c4341a9beda6ef603048dc4 | | name | nova | | options | | | password_expires_at | None | +---------------------+----------------------------------+
Make the role of the nova user as an admin
[[email protected] ~(keystone)]# openstack role add --project service --user nova admin
Add placement user
[[email protected] ~(keystone)]# openstack user create --domain default --project service --password pepe1234 placement +---------------------+----------------------------------+ | Field | Value | +---------------------+----------------------------------+ | default_project_id | d13375a7f48b4642abc74ad68d6ffe4b | | domain_id | default | | enabled | True | | id | 24913e6816fb434ab181c01aa1f852c9 | | name | placement | | options | | | password_expires_at | None | +---------------------+----------------------------------+
Make the role of the placement user as an admin
[[email protected] ~(keystone)]# openstack role add --project service --user placement admin
A service entry for nova needs to be added as shown below:
[[email protected] ~(keystone)]# openstack service create --name nova --description "Compute service" compute +-------------+----------------------------------+ | Field | Value | +-------------+----------------------------------+ | description | Compute service | | enabled | True | | id | b4a6bacd6e134df19ab64e5a0ef9bca8 | | name | nova | | type | compute | +-------------+----------------------------------+
Do the same for placement
[[email protected] ~(keystone)]# openstack service create --name placement --description "Compute Placement service" placement +-------------+-------------------------------------+ | Field | Value | +-------------+-------------------------------------+ | description | Compute Placement service | | enabled | True | | id | 4220a2e7b9f147ed9ec171ee2dc99560 | | name | placement | | type | placement | +-------------+-------------------------------------+
[[email protected] ~(keystone)]# export controller=192.168.122.130
Add a public entry point for nova
[[email protected] ~(keystone)]# openstack endpoint create --region RegionOne compute public http://$controller:8774/v2.1/%(tenant_id)s +--------------+----------------------------------------------+ | Field | Value | +--------------+----------------------------------------------+ | enabled | True | | id | 2f6fd5d7097643cea46927b056e0d5a4 | | interface | public | | region | RegionOne | | region_id | RegionOne | | service_id | b4a6bacd6e134df19ab64e5a0ef9bca8 | | service_name | nova | | service_type | compute | | url | http://192.168.122.130:8774/v2.1/%(tenant_id)s | +--------------+----------------------------------------------+
Add an internal entry point for nova
[[email protected] ~(keystone)]# openstack endpoint create --region RegionOne compute internal http://$controller:8774/v2.1/%(tenant_id)s +--------------+----------------------------------------------+ | Field | Value | +--------------+----------------------------------------------+ | enabled | True | | id | bb1a286c178f47fea4db2d121ef8ec24 | | interface | internal | | region | RegionOne | | region_id | RegionOne | | service_id | b4a6bacd6e134df19ab64e5a0ef9bca8 | | service_name | nova | | service_type | compute | | url | http://192.168.122.130:8774/v2.1/%(tenant_id)s | +--------------+----------------------------------------------+
Add an internal entry point for nova admin
[[email protected] ~(keystone)]# openstack endpoint create --region RegionOne compute admin http://$controller:8774/v2.1/%(tenant_id)s +--------------+----------------------------------------------+ | Field | Value | +--------------+----------------------------------------------+ | enabled | True | | id | 5f7c180c8ab54a458fc9ac2a1784bf19 | | interface | admin | | region | RegionOne | | region_id | RegionOne | | service_id | b4a6bacd6e134df19ab64e5a0ef9bca8 | | service_name | nova | | service_type | compute | | url | http://192.168.122.130:8774/v2.1/%(tenant_id)s | +--------------+----------------------------------------------+
Now we repeat the same for placement(public, internal and admin) respectively
[[email protected] ~(keystone)]# openstack endpoint create --region RegionOne placement public http://$controller:8778 +--------------+----------------------------------+ | Field | Value | +--------------+----------------------------------+ | enabled | True | | id | 311de9bb91a946588038d84d747bf4fa | | interface | public | | region | RegionOne | | region_id | RegionOne | | service_id | 4220a2e7b9f147ed9ec171ee2dc99560 | | service_name | placement | | service_type | placement | | url | http://192.168.122.130:8778 | +--------------+----------------------------------+
[[email protected] ~(keystone)]# openstack endpoint create --region RegionOne placement internal http://$controller:8778 +--------------+----------------------------------+ | Field | Value | +--------------+----------------------------------+ | enabled | True | | id | 172452325ff14e97aed310e2004300a0 | | interface | internal | | region | RegionOne | | region_id | RegionOne | | service_id | 4220a2e7b9f147ed9ec171ee2dc99560 | | service_name | placement | | service_type | placement | | url | http://192.168.122.130:8778 | +--------------+----------------------------------+
[[email protected] ~(keystone)]# openstack endpoint create --region RegionOne placement admin http://$controller:8778 +--------------+----------------------------------+ | Field | Value | +--------------+----------------------------------+ | enabled | True | | id | b33013b300964e93b61899bfbbc0723f | | interface | admin | | region | RegionOne | | region_id | RegionOne | | service_id | 4220a2e7b9f147ed9ec171ee2dc99560 | | service_name | placement | | service_type | placement | | url | http://192.168.122.130:8778 | +--------------+----------------------------------+
Then as you might guess, we have to add a nova database and nova user like the rest of the services. Let us go on
[[email protected] ~(keystone)]# mysql -u root -p Enter password: Welcome to the MariaDB monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.

Phew, let us now install the Nova API services

Edit the following file as shown. The numbers are for guidelines only

At this point, let us proceed to add Data into the created databases and start Nova services.

Check the status of everything so far to make sure everything we have done is working well:
