Prior to launching an instance in the non-admin user project space, first we need to create flavor(s) and provider network. Login in as admin user and access Admin -> Compute -> Flavors -> Create Flavor Create a provider network, access Admin -> Networks -> Create Network Next we have to enter the provider network details….

Removing compute node/host from an Openstack deployment
Wanted to remove a compute node from the openstack setup. Stop the services in the compute node service nova-compute stop service neutron-linuxbridge-agent stop # Not sure about the need for stopping the following but did it as I had planned to re-install service lvm2-lvmetad stop service libvirtd stop service lxcfs stop service tgt stop On…
Cinder – Block storage services – Storage Nodes
In my case all the three compute nodes will also be storage nodes. In all the three nodes had created a single virtual disk in RAID controller. /dev/sda1 was use for efi boot and /dev/sda2 for OS installation. a new partition /dev/sda3 was created for the remaining space. Install the supporting utility packages apt install…
Cinder – Block storage service – Controller node
Compute nodes will also be used as storage nodes. However we need to install the services in controller node. Create the database, grant privileges CREATE DATABASE cinder; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON cinder.* TO ‘cinder’@’localhost’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘commonpass’; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON cinder.* TO ‘cinder’@’%’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘commonpass’; FLUSH PRIVILEGES; exit Create service credentials . admin-openrc…
Horizon – Dashboard on Controller Node
Install the packages (on controller node) apt install -y openstack-dashboard Update configurations – Edit /etc/openstack-dashboard/local_settings.py # Replaced 127.0.0.1 with controller OPENSTACK_HOST = “controller” # ALLOWED_HOSTS : Not the one at the end of configuration file # under ubuntu section, but the one at the top for configuration # file ALLOWED_HOSTS = ‘controller.xxxxxxx.net’ # Replaced existing…
