openstack.yaml¶

Usage¶

1. Log into the nailgun Docker container:

   dockerctl shell nailgun
   

2. Edit file.

3. Run the following commands to Nailgun to reread its settings and restart:

   manage.py dropdb && manage.py syncdb && manage.py loaddefault
   killall nailgund
   

4. Exit the Nailgun docker container:

   exit
   

5. Run the following commands to Nailgun to sync deployment tasks:

   fuel rel --sync-deployment-tasks --dir /etc/puppet
   

File Format¶

The openstack.yaml file contains a number of blocks, each of which may contain multiple parameters. The major ones are described here.

The file has two major sections:

• The first is for VirtualBox and other limited deployments.
• The second is for full bare-metal deployments.

Roles¶

Lists each of the roles available on the Assign Roles screen with descriptions. Note that there are two roles-metadata sections in the file:

• The limited deployments section lists only the Controller, Compute, and Cinder LVM roles.
• The “full_release” section lists the Controller, Compute, Cinder LVM, Ceph-OSD, MongoDB, and Zabbix Server roles.

Roles that should not be deployed on the same server are identified with “conflicts” statements such as the following that prevents a Compute role from being installed on a Controller node:

controller:
  name: "Controller"
  description: "The controller initiates orchestration activities..."
  has_primary: true
  conflicts:
    - compute

The “has_primary” line is added in Release 6.0 to identify the Primary controller. In earlier releases, Galera searched for the Controller node with the lowest node-id value and made that the Primary Controller. This created problems when a new controller that had a lower node-id value was added to an existing Controller cluster and became the Primary Controller, which conflicted with the existing Primary Controller in the cluster. Persisting the Primary role in the database solves this problem.

If you delete the “conflicts:” and “compute” line and redeploy nailgun, you can deploy a bare-metal deployment that runs on a single server.
