Label an OpenStack node¶

In large deployments, sorting nodes by roles may not be efficient. Therefore, Fuel provides the capability to add custom labels to OpenStack nodes and later sort and display the nodes with that label. For example, you can label nodes located in one rack as rack #1 and so on. Labels can be added and removed before or after you deploy an OpenStack environment.

Label an OpenStack node:

1. Log in to the Fuel web UI.

2. Click Nodes.

3. Select a node or nodes that you want to label.

4. Click the label icon.

5. Click Add label.

6. Type a Name and Value.

   Example:

   • Name: Row
   • Value: 1

   Note

   You can have multiple labels with identical names and different values. However, you cannot assign labels with identical names and different values to one node. For example, you cannot assign label Row 1 and Row 2 to one node, but you can assign them to different nodes.

7. Click Apply.
