Hello guys, this is a continuation from where we left at Installation of Three node OpenStack Queens Cluster – Part Two. Sorry for the delay.
Once glance is up and running, the next step is to add images to it so that we can be able to spin a virtual machine later. To do this, we have to copy the image files to the server. Before that, we have to install a hypervisor that will give us the ability to create virtual machines. KVM is the hypervisor of choice here. Let us hit the road by installing KVM.

After the installation is done, go to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-(interface) and comment out HWADDR and UUID fields. On the same file, change BOOTPROTO to dhcp. The file should look like below.
TYPE="Ethernet" BOOTPROTO="dhcp" DEFROUTE="yes" PEERDNS="yes" PEERROUTES="yes" IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL="no" IPV6INIT="yes" IPV6_AUTOCONF="yes" IPV6_DEFROUTE="yes" IPV6_PEERDNS="yes" IPV6_PEERROUTES="yes" IPV6_FAILURE_FATAL="no" IPV6_ADDR_GEN_MODE="stable-privacy" NAME="ens160" UUID="d9e0aaa7-85c7-49e6-b24e-32101675d623" DEVICE="ens160" ONBOOT="yes" ZONE=public
After that is done, install cloud-init package as shown below:
[[email protected] images(keystone)]# yum -y install cloud-init Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile base: mirror.ucu.ac.ug centos-qemu-ev: mirror.ucu.ac.ug extras: mirror.ucu.ac.ug updates: mirror.ucu.ac.ug base | 3.6 kB 00:00:00 centos-ceph-luminous | 2.9 kB 00:00:00 centos-openstack-queens | 2.9 kB 00:00:00 centos-qemu-ev
Enable it:
[[email protected] images(keystone)]# systemctl enable cloud-init
Add any user to the system whom we shall use later for logging purposes
[[email protected] images(keystone)]# useradd tech [[email protected] images(keystone)]# usermod -aG wheel tech
The virtual machine should be ready by now. At this step, just add it to Glance. In case you get “503 Service Unavailable: The server is currently unavailable. Please try again at a later time. (HTTP 503)”, make sure all the passwords you have been using so far are correct. The ones in the databases whould correspond well with the ones in configuration files. Just verify them slowly and step by step. I got the error and I had to go step by step through all the files and databases to make sure that the passwords were okay.
