Overview

<TODO>

Setup

Prepare OpenStack

DevStack

Edit local.conf

• Enable Qpid

   # Enable Qpid
   ENABLED_SERVICES="$ENABLED_SERVICES,-rabbit,-zeromq,qpid"

• Enable ML2 and setup VLAN

   # Enable neutron network
   disable_service n-net
   enable_service q-svc
   enable_service q-agt
   enable_service q-dhcp
   enable_service q-l3
   enable_service q-meta
   enable_service q-metering
   enable_service neutron
   #VLAN configuration
   Q_PLUGIN=ml2
   ENABLE_TENANT_VLANS=True
   PHYSICAL_NETWORK=default
   ML2_VLAN_RANGES=default:1:4094

Ubuntu Cloud Archive

<TODO>

RDO

Edit packstack answer file

• Enable Qpid

   CONFIG_AMQP_SERVER=qpid

• Enable ML2 and setup VLAN

   CONFIG_NEUTRON_L2_PLUGIN=ml2
   CONFIG_NEUTRON_ML2_TYPE_DRIVERS=local,vlan
   CONFIG_NEUTRON_ML2_TENANT_NETWORK_TYPES=local,vlan
   CONFIG_NEUTRON_ML2_VLAN_RANGES=default:1:4094

Setup PowerVC Driver

Download PowerVC Driver

   git clone https://github.com/stackforge/powervc-driver.git

Manually Install

• Create PowerVC Driver configuration

   mkdir /etc/powervc
   cd powervc-driver
   cp common-powervc/etc/powervc.conf /etc/powervc
   cp neutron-powervc/etc/powervc-neutron.conf /etc/powervc

• Create PowerVC Driver logging directory

   mkdir -p /var/log/powervc

• Stop the default nova-compute service

• Enable OpenStack Cinder backends with PowerVC

setup /etc/cinder/cinder.conf

    enabled_backends = powervcdriver

• Import common utilities for each PowerVC Driver component

   ln -s common-powervc/powervc/common <component-powervc>/powervc/common

Configure powervc.conf and powervc-neutron.conf

powervc-neutron.conf

• Setup Neutron DB connection, e.g.:

   connection = mysql://<user>:<password>@<host>/ovs_neutron?charset=utf8

powervc.conf

• Setup [openstack] section with OpenStack information

1. Devstack, check openrc file.
2. Ubuntu Cloud Archive, <TODO>
3. RDO, check packstack answer file.

• Setup [powervc] section with PowerVC information

1. Contact your PowerVC system administrator for the information
2. The following options are needed to configure in a typical setup:

   # PowerVC Keystone authentication
   auth_url = https://<host>/powervc/openstack/identity/v3
   admin_user = 
   admin_password = 
   admin_tenant_name = 
   # Value of insecure option for the connections (Default=True)
   http_insecure = True
   # PowerVC cacert needed when secure connections are used
   connection_cacert = <path_to_the_cert>

   # The names of the storage connectivity groups supported by the driver
   storage_connectivity_group = <e.g. Any host, all VIOS>

   # PowerVC Qpid Connection
   qpid_hostname = 
   qpid_username = 
   qpid_password = 
   # Qpid broker port (integer value)
   # uncomment following line for non-ssl
   # qpid_port = 5672
   qpid_port = 5671
   # uncomment following line for non-ssl
   # qpid_protocol = tcp
   qpid_protocol = ssl

   # Sync variables
   staging_project_name = <e.g. service>
   staging_user = <e.g. admin>

Launch PowerVC Driver services

• Glance PowerVC sync service

   glance-powervc/bin/glance-powervc --config-file /etc/powervc/powervc.conf --logfile /var/log/powervc/glance-powervc.log

• Neutron PowerVC Driver Agent

   neutron-powervc/bin/neutron-powervc-agent --config-file /etc/powervc/powervc-neutron.conf --config-file /etc/powervc/powervc.conf --logfile /var/log/powervc/neutron-powervc.log

• Cinder PowerVC Driver

   cinder-powervc/bin/cinder-powervc --config-file /etc/powervc/powervc.conf --config-file /etc/cinder/cinder.conf --logfile /var/log/powervc/cinder-powervc.log

• Nova PowerVC Driver

   nova-powervc/bin/nova-powervc --config-file /etc/powervc/powervc.conf --config-file /etc/nova/nova.conf --logfile /var/log/powervc/nova-powervc.log
