Verifying OpenStack operation

To verify basic operation of the OpenStack API and the Dashboard, perform the following tasks on an infrastructure host.

Verify the API

The utility container provides a CLI environment for additional configuration and testing.

1. Determine the name of the utility container:

   # lxc-ls | grep utility
   infra1_utility_container-161a4084
   

2. Access the utility container:

   # lxc-attach -n infra1_utility_container-161a4084
   

3. Source the admin tenant credentials:

   $ . ~/openrc
   

4. List your openstack users:

   # openstack user list --os-cloud=default

Verifying the Dashboard (horizon)

1. With a web browser, access the Dashboard by using the external load balancer domain name or IP address defined by the external_lb_vip_address option in the /etc/openstack_deploy/openstack_user_config.yml file. The Dashboard uses HTTPS on port 443.

2. Authenticate by using the admin user name and the password defined by the keystone_auth_admin_password option in the /etc/openstack_deploy/user_secrets.yml file.
