Getting started with TripleO-Quickstart¶

A step by step deployment with playbooks¶

This section will walk a user through a full deployment step by step by running ansible playbooks for each major part of the full deployment. The major steps include

• Provision a libvirt environment
• Install the Undercloud
• Prepare for the Overcloud deployment
• Deploy the Overcloud
• Validate the Overcloud is functional

Provision a libvirt guest environment¶

First things first and in this case we need libvirt guests setup and running to host the TripleO Undercloud and Overcloud

Example:

bash quickstart.sh -R master --no-clone --tags all --nodes config/nodes/1ctlr_1comp.yml -p quickstart.yml $VIRTHOST

Note the use of the option –nodes 1ctlr_1comp.yml. The nodes option allows you to specify the topology of the deployment. Additional topologies can be found under tripleo-quickstart/config/nodes.

Reviewing each step in the deployment¶

Once the environment is provisioned a user can ssh into the Undercloud in each of the following steps and review the bash shell scripts and logs in the home directory of the Undercloud.

Example:

ssh -F ~/.quickstart/ssh.config.ansible undercloud

Install the Undercloud¶

Your next step is to install the TripleO Undercloud. We will use the same command used in the provisioning step but we’ll need to indicate to quickstart to reuse the ansible inventory file and not to teardown any of the nodes we just provisioned.

• -I : retain the ansible inventory and ssh configuration
• --teardown none : do not shutdown any of the libvirt guests

Example:

bash quickstart.sh -R master --no-clone --tags all --nodes config/nodes/1ctlr_1comp.yml -I --teardown none -p quickstart-extras-undercloud.yml $VIRTHOST

Prepare the TripleO Overcloud for deployment¶

Once the Undercloud is deployed there are a few additional steps required prior to deploying the Overcloud. These steps include

• configuration preparation
• container preparation
• importing Overcloud images
• ironic introspection of the Overcloud nodes
• creating OpenStack flavors for profile matching the Overcloud nodes.
• network configuration
• SSL configuration

Example:

bash quickstart.sh -R master --no-clone --tags all --nodes config/nodes/1ctlr_1comp.yml -I --teardown none -p quickstart-extras-overcloud-prep.yml $VIRTHOST

Deploy the TripleO Overcloud¶

This step will execute the steps required to deploy the Overcloud. The Overcloud deployment can be reexecuted as long as the stack is removed prior to rerunning.

Example:

bash quickstart.sh -R master --no-clone --tags all --nodes config/nodes/1ctlr_1comp.yml -I --teardown none -p quickstart-extras-overcloud.yml $VIRTHOST

Validate the TripleO Overcloud is functional¶

This step will run tests to determine the quality of the deployment. The preferred method to determine the quality is to execute tempest however one can also deploy a test heat stack on the Overcloud that includes a ping test.

Example:

bash quickstart.sh -R master --no-clone --tags all --nodes config/nodes/1ctlr_1comp.yml -I --teardown none -p quickstart-extras-validate.yml $VIRTHOST
