Install and configure controller node for Red Hat Enterprise Linux and CentOS¶
This section describes how to install and configure the Compute service, code-named nova, on the controller node.
Prerequisites¶
Before you install and configure the Compute service, you must create databases, service credentials, and API endpoints.
To create the databases, complete these steps:
Use the database access client to connect to the database server as the
root
user:$ mysql -u root -p
Create the
nova_api
,nova
, andnova_cell0
databases:MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE DATABASE nova_api; MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE DATABASE nova; MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE DATABASE nova_cell0;
Grant proper access to the databases:
MariaDB [(none)]> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON nova_api.* TO 'nova'@'localhost' \ IDENTIFIED BY 'NOVA_DBPASS'; MariaDB [(none)]> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON nova_api.* TO 'nova'@'%' \ IDENTIFIED BY 'NOVA_DBPASS'; MariaDB [(none)]> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON nova.* TO 'nova'@'localhost' \ IDENTIFIED BY 'NOVA_DBPASS'; MariaDB [(none)]> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON nova.* TO 'nova'@'%' \ IDENTIFIED BY 'NOVA_DBPASS'; MariaDB [(none)]> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON nova_cell0.* TO 'nova'@'localhost' \ IDENTIFIED BY 'NOVA_DBPASS'; MariaDB [(none)]> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON nova_cell0.* TO 'nova'@'%' \ IDENTIFIED BY 'NOVA_DBPASS';
Replace
NOVA_DBPASS
with a suitable password.Exit the database access client.
Source the
admin
credentials to gain access to admin-only CLI commands:$ . admin-openrc
Create the Compute service credentials:
Create the
nova
user:$ openstack user create --domain default --password-prompt nova User Password: Repeat User Password: +---------------------+----------------------------------+ | Field | Value | +---------------------+----------------------------------+ | domain_id | default | | enabled | True | | id | 8a7dbf5279404537b1c7b86c033620fe | | name | nova | | options | {} | | password_expires_at | None | +---------------------+----------------------------------+
Add the
admin
role to thenova
user:$ openstack role add --project service --user nova admin
Note
This command provides no output.
Create the
nova
service entity:$ openstack service create --name nova \ --description "OpenStack Compute" compute +-------------+----------------------------------+ | Field | Value | +-------------+----------------------------------+ | description | OpenStack Compute | | enabled | True | | id | 060d59eac51b4594815603d75a00aba2 | | name | nova | | type | compute | +-------------+----------------------------------+
Create the Compute API service endpoints:
$ openstack endpoint create --region RegionOne \ compute public http://controller:8774/v2.1 +--------------+-------------------------------------------+ | Field | Value | +--------------+-------------------------------------------+ | enabled | True | | id | 3c1caa473bfe4390a11e7177894bcc7b | | interface | public | | region | RegionOne | | region_id | RegionOne | | service_id | 060d59eac51b4594815603d75a00aba2 | | service_name | nova | | service_type | compute | | url | http://controller:8774/v2.1 | +--------------+-------------------------------------------+ $ openstack endpoint create --region RegionOne \ compute internal http://controller:8774/v2.1 +--------------+-------------------------------------------+ | Field | Value | +--------------+-------------------------------------------+ | enabled | True | | id | e3c918de680746a586eac1f2d9bc10ab | | interface | internal | | region | RegionOne | | region_id | RegionOne | | service_id | 060d59eac51b4594815603d75a00aba2 | | service_name | nova | | service_type | compute | | url | http://controller:8774/v2.1 | +--------------+-------------------------------------------+ $ openstack endpoint create --region RegionOne \ compute admin http://controller:8774/v2.1 +--------------+-------------------------------------------+ | Field | Value | +--------------+-------------------------------------------+ | enabled | True | | id | 38f7af91666a47cfb97b4dc790b94424 | | interface | admin | | region | RegionOne | | region_id | RegionOne | | service_id | 060d59eac51b4594815603d75a00aba2 | | service_name | nova | | service_type | compute | | url | http://controller:8774/v2.1 | +--------------+-------------------------------------------+
Install Placement service and configure user and endpoints:
Refer to the Placement service install guide for more information.
Install and configure components¶
Note
Default configuration files vary by distribution. You might need to add
these sections and options rather than modifying existing sections and
options. Also, an ellipsis (...
) in the configuration snippets indicates
potential default configuration options that you should retain.
Install the packages:
# yum install openstack-nova-api openstack-nova-conductor \ openstack-nova-novncproxy openstack-nova-scheduler
Edit the
/etc/nova/nova.conf
file and complete the following actions:In the
[DEFAULT]
section, enable only the compute and metadata APIs:[DEFAULT] # ... enabled_apis = osapi_compute,metadata
In the
[api_database]
and[database]
sections, configure database access:[api_database] # ... connection = mysql+pymysql://nova:NOVA_DBPASS@controller/nova_api [database] # ... connection = mysql+pymysql://nova:NOVA_DBPASS@controller/nova
Replace
NOVA_DBPASS
with the password you chose for the Compute databases.In the
[DEFAULT]
section, configureRabbitMQ
message queue access:[DEFAULT] # ... transport_url = rabbit://openstack:RABBIT_PASS@controller:5672/
Replace
RABBIT_PASS
with the password you chose for theopenstack
account inRabbitMQ
.In the
[api]
and[keystone_authtoken]
sections, configure Identity service access:[api] # ... auth_strategy = keystone [keystone_authtoken] # ... www_authenticate_uri = http://controller:5000/ auth_url = http://controller:5000/ memcached_servers = controller:11211 auth_type = password project_domain_name = Default user_domain_name = Default project_name = service username = nova password = NOVA_PASS
Replace
NOVA_PASS
with the password you chose for thenova
user in the Identity service.Note
Comment out or remove any other options in the
[keystone_authtoken]
section.In the
[service_user]
section, configure service user tokens:[service_user] send_service_user_token = true auth_url = https://controller/identity auth_strategy = keystone auth_type = password project_domain_name = Default project_name = service user_domain_name = Default username = nova password = NOVA_PASS
Replace
NOVA_PASS
with the password you chose for thenova
user in the Identity service.In the
[DEFAULT]
section, configure themy_ip
option to use the management interface IP address of the controller node:[DEFAULT] # ... my_ip = 10.0.0.11
Configure the
[neutron]
section of /etc/nova/nova.conf. Refer to the Networking service install guide for more details.In the
[vnc]
section, configure the VNC proxy to use the management interface IP address of the controller node:[vnc] enabled = true # ... server_listen = $my_ip server_proxyclient_address = $my_ip
In the
[glance]
section, configure the location of the Image service API:[glance] # ... api_servers = http://controller:9292
In the
[oslo_concurrency]
section, configure the lock path:[oslo_concurrency] # ... lock_path = /var/lib/nova/tmp
In the
[placement]
section, configure access to the Placement service:[placement] # ... region_name = RegionOne project_domain_name = Default project_name = service auth_type = password user_domain_name = Default auth_url = http://controller:5000/v3 username = placement password = PLACEMENT_PASS
Replace
PLACEMENT_PASS
with the password you choose for theplacement
service user created when installing Placement. Comment out or remove any other options in the[placement]
section.
Populate the

Finalize installation¶
Start the Compute services and configure them to start when the system boots:
# systemctl enable \ openstack-nova-api.service \ openstack-nova-scheduler.service \ openstack-nova-conductor.service \ openstack-nova-novncproxy.service # systemctl start \ openstack-nova-api.service \ openstack-nova-scheduler.service \ openstack-nova-conductor.service \ openstack-nova-novncproxy.service
