=== Bootstrap the controller ===
 
=== Bootstrap the controller ===
At this point, you have 2 options to bootstrap the initial controller: a) running config_controller and b) running Ansible bootstrap playbook. The config_controller method will be deprecated soon due to its inflexibility.
 
  
==== Method 1: Run config_controller ====
+
The following instructions are intended for local bootstrap of initial controller in virtual box. For ease of use in development and controlled test environments, passwords can be provided via command line/unencrypted text file (user override file) and wrsroot password is used for ssh authentication. In production, sensitive info should be stored in Ansible vault secret file and SSH keys instead of password should be used for authentication.
  
<code>sudo config_controller </code>
+
==== Location of controller bootstrap playbook ====
 +
All StarlingX playbooks are located under the directory /usr/share/ansible/stx-ansible/playbooks. Consequently, the controller bootstrap playbook is located at:
 +
/usr/share/ansible/stx-ansible/playbooks/bootstrap/.
  
Use default settings during config_controller, except for the following:
+
==== Default bootstrap playbook settings ====
* System mode: '''simplex'''
+
The default inventory file, which resides in Ansible configuration directory (i.e. /etc/ansible/hosts), contains one single host - the localhost. You can override this file using a custom hosts file and the "-i option". Doing so makes the file available for remote play through the Ansible playbook.
* External OAM address: '''10.10.10.3'''
 
* If you do not have direct access to the google DNS nameserver(s) 8.8.8.8 , 8.8.4.4 you will need to configure that when prompted. Press Enter to choose the default, or type a new entry.
 
* If you do not have direct access to the public docker registry (https://hub.docker.com/u/starlingx) and instead use a proxy for internet access, you will need to add proxy information when prompted. (Storyboard 2004710 was merged on Jan 30, 2019. )
 
  
The system configuration should look like this:
+
The /usr/share/ansible/stx-ansible/playbooks/bootstrap/host_vars/default.yml file specifies the default configuration parameters. You can overwrite these parameters in two ways:
<pre>
 
System Configuration
 
--------------------
 
Time Zone: UTC
 
System mode: simplex
 
  
PXEBoot Network Configuration
+
- Using either the --extra-vars or -e options at the command line.
-----------------------------
 
Separate PXEBoot network not configured
 
PXEBoot Controller floating hostname: pxecontroller
 
  
Management Network Configuration
+
- Using an override file.
--------------------------------
 
Management interface name: lo
 
Management interface: lo
 
Management interface MTU: 1500
 
Management subnet: 192.168.204.0/28
 
Controller floating address: 192.168.204.2
 
Controller 0 address: 192.168.204.3
 
Controller 1 address: 192.168.204.4
 
NFS Management Address 1: 192.168.204.5
 
NFS Management Address 2: 192.168.204.6
 
Controller floating hostname: controller
 
Controller hostname prefix: controller-
 
OAM Controller floating hostname: oamcontroller
 
Dynamic IP address allocation is selected
 
Management multicast subnet: 239.1.1.0/28
 
  
Infrastructure Network Configuration
+
Using the override file is the preferred option when multiple parameters exist that need to be overwritten.
------------------------------------
 
Infrastructure interface not configured
 
  
Kubernetes Cluster Network Configuration
+
By default Ansible looks for and imports user override files in the wrsroot home directory ($HOME). If you want to place these files in a different location, you must specify the location by using the -e option (e.g. -e "override_files_dir=<custom-override-dir>").
----------------------------------------
 
Cluster pod network subnet: 172.16.0.0/16
 
Cluster service network subnet: 10.96.0.0/12
 
Cluster host interface name: lo
 
Cluster host interface: lo
 
Cluster host interface MTU: 1500
 
Cluster host subnet: 192.168.206.0/24
 
  
External OAM Network Configuration
+
The override file must conform to the following naming convention: <inventory_hostname>.yml
----------------------------------
+
An example filename is localhost.yml.
External OAM interface name: enp0s3
 
External OAM interface: enp0s3
 
External OAM interface MTU: 1500
 
External OAM subnet: 10.10.10.0/24
 
External OAM gateway address: 10.10.10.1
 
External OAM address: 10.10.10.3
 
  
DNS Configuration
+
==== Password types ====
-----------------
+
For local bootstrap, two types of passwords exist:
Nameserver 1: 8.8.8.8
 
Nameserver 2: 8.8.4.4
 
</pre>
 
  
==== Method 2: Run Ansible bootstrap playbook ====
+
- *ansible_become_pass*: a Sudo password to run tasks that require escalated privileges. Most bootstrap tasks must be run as root. Since the playbook is run by the wrsroot user, this is the wrsroot password.
The following instructions are intended for local bootstrap of initial controller in virtual box. For ease of use in development and controlled test environments, passwords can be provided via command line/unencrypted text file (user override file) and wrsroot password is used for ssh authentication. In production, sensitive info should be stored in Ansible vault secret file and SSH keys instead of password should be used for authentication.
 
  
===== Location of controller bootstrap playbook =====
+
- *admin_password*: A password used in when system commands, such as a Horizon login, are executed.
All StarlingX playbooks will be located under directory /usr/share/ansible/stx-ansible/playbooks. The controller bootstrap playbook, therefore, is at: /usr/share/ansible/stx-ansible/playbooks/bootstrap/.
 
  
===== Default bootstrap playbook settings =====
+
For remote bootstrap, if an automatic SSH login that uses an SSH key has not been set up between the Ansible control node and the target controller, another password is required:
The default inventory file which resides in Ansible config directory (/etc/ansible/hosts) contains one single host - the localhost. This hosts file can be overwritten by user's custom hosts file for remote play via Ansible playbook -i option.
 
  
The default configuration parameters are specified in /usr/share/ansible/stx-ansible/playbooks/bootstrap/host_vars/default.yml. They can be overwritten by user's custom settings via user override file or Ansible playbook -e option. The default location where Ansible looks for and imports user override files is at /home/wrsroot. Custom location can be specified via -e option. All override files must follow <inventory_hostname>.yml naming convention e.g. locahost.yml
+
- *ansible_ssh_pass*: The password used to log into the target host(s).
  
For local bootstrap, there are 2 types of password:
+
For all the passwords mentioned in this section, the defaults are set to "St8rlingX*".
* ansible_become_pass: sudo password to run tasks that require escalated privileges. Most bootstrap tasks must be run as root. Since the playbook is run by wrsroot user, this is the wrsroot password.
 
* admin_password: password used in making system commands, horizon login, etc...
 
  
 +
==== Running the bootstrap playbook ====
 +
To run the playbook, you need to first set up external connectivity.
 +
<pre>
 +
ip address add 10.10.10.3/24 dev enp0s3
 +
ip link set up dev enp0s3
 +
route add default gw 10.10.10.1 enp0s3
 +
ping 8.8.8.8
 +
</pre>
  
For remote bootstrap of the controller, another password is required if automatic ssh login using ssh key has not been set up between Ansible control node and the target controller:
+
*Run the local playbook with all defaults or with override file /home/wrsroot/localhost.yml
* ansible_ssh_pass: password used to log into the target host(s)
+
<pre>ansible-playbook /usr/share/ansible/stx-ansible/playbooks/bootstrap/bootstrap.yml</pre>
 
 
 
 
The aforementioned passwords are set to '''St8rlingX*''' by default.
 
 
 
Sample /usr/share/ansible/stx-ansible/playbooks/bootstrap/host_vars/localhost.yml
 
  
 +
Sample /home/wrsroot/localhost.yml override file. Add more (or remove) parameters or change values to your custom values as needed:
 
<pre>

Installing StarlingX with containers: One node configuration

The information on this wiki page is in the process of transitioning to "Deploy/Install" guides that are being created as part of the StarlingX documentation. Consequently, do not make edits to the content in this wiki page. If you have changes that need to be made to the installation process described on this page of the wiki, contact StarlingX Documentation Team.

History

  • January 18, 2019: Removed Nova Cell DB Workaround - no longer required on loads built January 15th or later.
  • January 25, 2019: Configure datanetworks in sysinv, prior to referencing it in the 'system host-if-modify/host-if-add command'. Needed on loads Jan 25, 2019 or later.
  • January 29, 2019: Removed obsolete neutron host/interface configuration and updated DNS instructions.
  • February 12, 2019: Add network segment range instructions for Stein: ' openstack network segment range create' supercedes 'neutron providernet-range-create’.
  • April 29, 2019: Add instructions for controller bootstrap using Ansible playbook.

Introduction

These instructions are for an All-in-one simplex system (AIO-SX) in VirtualBox. Other configurations are in development. Installing on bare metal is also possible, however the the process would have to be adapted for the specific hardware configuration.

Note: These instructions are valid for a load built on January 25, 2019 or later.

Building the Software

Follow the standard build process in the StarlingX Developer Guide.

Alternatively a prebuilt iso can be used, all required packages are provided by the StarlingX CENGN mirror

Setup the VirtualBox VM

Create a virtual machine for the system with the following options:

     * Type: Linux
     * Version: Other Linux (64-bit)
     * Memory size: 16384 MB
     * Storage: 
        * Recommend to use VDI and dynamically allocated disks
        * At least two disks are required
          * 240GB disk for a root disk 
          * 50GB for an OSD
     * System->Processors: 
        * 4 cpu
     * Network:
        * OAM network:
           OAM interface must have external connectivity, for now we will use a NatNetwork
           * Adapter 1: NAT Network; Name: NatNetwork Follow the instructions at #VirtualBox Nat Networking 
        * Data Network
           * Adapter 2: Internal Network, Name: intnet-data1; Advanced: Paravirtualized Network (virtio-net), Promiscuous Mode: Allow All
           * Adapter 3: Internal Network, Name: intnet-data2; Advanced: Paravirtualized Network (virtio-net), Promiscuous Mode: Allow All

VirtualBox Nat Networking

First add a NAT Network in VirtualBox:

 * Select File -> Preferences menu
 * Choose Network, "Nat Networks" tab should be selected
   * Click on plus icon to add a network, which will add a network named NatNetwork
   * Edit the NatNetwork (gear or screwdriver icon)
     * Network CIDR: 10.10.10.0/24 (to match OAM network specified in config_controller)
     * Disable "Supports DHCP"
     * Enable "Supports IPv6"
     * Select "Port Forwarding" and add any rules you desire. Some examples:
Name Protocol Host IP Host Port Guest IP Guest Port
controller-ssh TCP 22 10.10.10.3 22
controller-http-openstack TCP 31000 10.10.10.3 31000
controller-https-openstack TCP 443 10.10.10.3 443
controller-http-platform TCP 8080 10.10.10.3 8080
controller-https-platform TCP 8443 10.10.10.3 8443

Setup Controller-0

Install StarlingX

Boot the VM from the ISO media. Select the following options for installation:

  • All-in-one Controller
  • Graphical Console
  • Standard Security Profile

Once booted, log into Controller-0 as user wrsroot, with password wrsroot. The first time you log in as wrsroot, you are required to change your password. Enter the current password (wrsroot):

 
Changing password for wrsroot.
(current) UNIX Password: wrsroot

Enter a new password for the wrsroot account and confirm it.

Bootstrap the controller

The following instructions are intended for local bootstrap of initial controller in virtual box. For ease of use in development and controlled test environments, passwords can be provided via command line/unencrypted text file (user override file) and wrsroot password is used for ssh authentication. In production, sensitive info should be stored in Ansible vault secret file and SSH keys instead of password should be used for authentication.

Location of controller bootstrap playbook

All StarlingX playbooks are located under the directory /usr/share/ansible/stx-ansible/playbooks. Consequently, the controller bootstrap playbook is located at: /usr/share/ansible/stx-ansible/playbooks/bootstrap/.

Default bootstrap playbook settings

The default inventory file, which resides in Ansible configuration directory (i.e. /etc/ansible/hosts), contains one single host - the localhost. You can override this file using a custom hosts file and the "-i option". Doing so makes the file available for remote play through the Ansible playbook.

The /usr/share/ansible/stx-ansible/playbooks/bootstrap/host_vars/default.yml file specifies the default configuration parameters. You can overwrite these parameters in two ways:

- Using either the --extra-vars or -e options at the command line.

- Using an override file.

Using the override file is the preferred option when multiple parameters exist that need to be overwritten.

By default Ansible looks for and imports user override files in the wrsroot home directory ($HOME). If you want to place these files in a different location, you must specify the location by using the -e option (e.g. -e "override_files_dir=<custom-override-dir>").

The override file must conform to the following naming convention: <inventory_hostname>.yml An example filename is localhost.yml.

Password types

For local bootstrap, two types of passwords exist:

- *ansible_become_pass*: a Sudo password to run tasks that require escalated privileges. Most bootstrap tasks must be run as root. Since the playbook is run by the wrsroot user, this is the wrsroot password.

- *admin_password*: A password used in when system commands, such as a Horizon login, are executed.

For remote bootstrap, if an automatic SSH login that uses an SSH key has not been set up between the Ansible control node and the target controller, another password is required:

- *ansible_ssh_pass*: The password used to log into the target host(s).

For all the passwords mentioned in this section, the defaults are set to "St8rlingX*".

Running the bootstrap playbook

To run the playbook, you need to first set up external connectivity.

ip address add 10.10.10.3/24 dev enp0s3
ip link set up dev enp0s3
route add default gw 10.10.10.1 enp0s3
ping 8.8.8.8
  • Run the local playbook with all defaults or with override file /home/wrsroot/localhost.yml
ansible-playbook /usr/share/ansible/stx-ansible/playbooks/bootstrap/bootstrap.yml

Sample /home/wrsroot/localhost.yml override file. Add more (or remove) parameters or change values to your custom values as needed:

external_oam_subnet: 10.10.10.0/24
external_oam_gateway_address: 10.10.10.1
external_oam_floating_address: 10.10.10.3
management_subnet: 192.168.204.0/24
dns_servers:
  - 8.8.4.4
admin_password: St8rlingX*
ansible_become_pass: St8rlingX*
  • Run the local playbook with custom wrsroot and admin passwords specified in the command line
ansible-playbook /usr/share/ansible/stx-ansible/playbooks/bootstrap/bootstrap.yml -e "ansible_become_pass=<custom-wrsroot-password> admin_password=<custom-admin-password>" 

Note: As Ansible does not yet support specifying playbooks search path(s). It is necessary to specify the path to the bootstrap playbook in the command line if you're not already in that directory. A command alias called bootstrap-controller will be provided in the near future.

Provisioning the platform

Configure the OAM interface

source /etc/platform/openrc
OAM_IF=enp0s3
system host-if-modify controller-0 $OAM_IF -c platform
system interface-network-assign controller-0 $OAM_IF oam

(Hardware lab only) Set the ntp server

Skip this step in virtualbox as it can cause Ceph's clock skew alarms. Moreover, clock of vbox instances is synchronized with the host clock so there is no need to configure NTP here.

source /etc/platform/openrc
system ntp-modify ntpservers=0.pool.ntp.org,1.pool.ntp.org

Configure the vswitch type (optional)

  • As of March 29th 2019, OVS running in a container is deployed by default.

To deploy OVS-DPDK (supported only on baremetal hardware), please run the following commands:

system modify --vswitch_type ovs-dpdk
system host-cpu-modify -f vswitch -p0 1 controller-0
# To set the vswitch type back to the default (i.e. OVS running in a container), run:
# system modify --vswitch_type none
  • NOTE: For virtual environments, only OVS running in a container is supported.
  • NOTE: The vswitch type cannot be modified after controller-0 is unlocked.
  • IMPORTANT: When deploying OVS-DPDK, VMs must be configured to use a flavor with property: hw:mem_page_size=large

Configure data interfaces

DATA0IF=eth1000
DATA1IF=eth1001
export COMPUTE=controller-0
PHYSNET0='physnet0'
PHYSNET1='physnet1'
SPL=/tmp/tmp-system-port-list
SPIL=/tmp/tmp-system-host-if-list
source /etc/platform/openrc
system host-port-list ${COMPUTE} --nowrap > ${SPL}
system host-if-list -a ${COMPUTE} --nowrap > ${SPIL}
DATA0PCIADDR=$(cat $SPL | grep $DATA0IF |awk '{print $8}')

DATA1IFUUID=$(cat $SPIL | awk -v DATA1PORTNAME=$DATA1PORTNAME '($12 ~ DATA1PORTNAME) {print $2}')

# configure the datanetworks in sysinv, prior to referencing it in the 'system host-if-modify command'
system datanetwork-add ${PHYSNET0} vlan
system datanetwork-add ${PHYSNET1} vlan

# the host-if-modify '-p' flag is deprecated in favor of  the '-d' flag for assignment of datanetworks.
system host-if-modify -m 1500 -n data0 -c data ${COMPUTE} ${DATA0IFUUID}
system host-if-modify -m 1500 -n data1 -c data ${COMPUTE} ${DATA1IFUUID}
system interface-datanetwork-assign ${COMPUTE} ${DATA0IFUUID} ${PHYSNET0}
system interface-datanetwork-assign ${COMPUTE} ${DATA1IFUUID} ${PHYSNET1}

Prepare the host for running the containerized services

  • On the controller node, apply all the node labels for each controller and compute functions
source /etc/platform/openrc

system host-label-assign controller-0 openstack-control-plane=enabled
system host-label-assign controller-0 openstack-compute-node=enabled
system host-label-assign controller-0 openvswitch=enabled
system host-label-assign controller-0 sriov=enabled

Setup partitions for Controller-0

  • Create partitions on the root disk and wait for them to be ready
    • 24G for nova-local (mandatory).
export COMPUTE=controller-0
source /etc/platform/openrc

echo ">>> Getting root disk info"
ROOT_DISK=$(system host-show ${COMPUTE} | grep rootfs | awk '{print $4}')
ROOT_DISK_UUID=$(system host-disk-list ${COMPUTE} --nowrap | grep ${ROOT_DISK} | awk '{print $2}')
echo "Root disk: $ROOT_DISK, UUID: $ROOT_DISK_UUID"

Using sysinv to bring up/down the containerized services

Generate the stx-openstack application tarball

The stx-openstack application tarballs are generated with each build on the CENGN mirror.

Alternatively, in a development environment, run the following command to construct the application tarballs.

$MY_REPO_ROOT_DIR/cgcs-root/build-tools/build-helm-charts.sh
  • The resulting tarballs can be found under $MY_WORKSPACE/std/build-helm/stx.
  • By default, the latest stable starlingx docker images are used in armada manifest. You can build the application tarball with different image versions by specifying the image record files/urls which contain the images you would like to use via option --image-record (The starlingx image build records can be found on the CENGN mirror)
  • To construct a new name of stx-openstack tarball, specify a label with --label option. The name of the stx-openstack application tarball is stx-openstack-<stx-openstack-helm rpm version>(-<label>).tgz
  • If the build-helm-charts.sh command is unable to find the charts, run "build-pkgs" to build the chart rpms and re-run the build-helm-charts.sh command.

Stage application for deployment

Transfer the stx-openstack application tarball onto your active controller.

Use sysinv to upload the application tarball.

source /etc/platform/openrc
system application-upload stx-openstack-1.0-11.tgz
system application-list
  • stx-openstack application tarball has a metadata.yaml file which contains the app name and version. The app name and version will be extracted from the metadata.yaml when uploading. For the application tarballs that do not have app name and version included in metadata.yaml, they need to be specified via --app-name and --app-version.

Bring Up Services

Use sysinv to apply the application.

system application-apply stx-openstack

You can monitor the progress by watching system application-list

watch -n 5 system application-list

After the "retrieving images" phase, the Armada execution logs can be tailed:

  • On the host with
tail -f /var/log/armada/stx-openstack-apply.log
  • Inside the container with:
sudo docker exec armada_service tail -f /logs/stx-openstack-apply.log

Update Ceph pool replication (AIO-SX only)

With the application applied the containerized openstack services are now running.

In an AIO SX environment, you must now set Ceph pool replication for the new pools created when the application was applied:

ceph osd pool ls | xargs -i ceph osd pool set {} size 1

Verify the cluster endpoints

Note: Do this from a new shell as a root user (do not source /etc/platform/openrc in that shell).

The 'password' should be set to the admin password which configured during config_controller.


mkdir -p /etc/openstack
tee /etc/openstack/clouds.yaml << EOF
clouds:
  openstack_helm:
    region_name: RegionOne
    identity_api_version: 3
    endpoint_type: internalURL
    auth:
      username: 'admin'
      password: 'Li69nux*'
      project_name: 'admin'
      project_domain_name: 'default'
      user_domain_name: 'default'
      auth_url: 'http://keystone.openstack.svc.cluster.local/v3'
EOF

export OS_CLOUD=openstack_helm
openstack endpoint list

The remaining networking steps are done using this root user.

Provider/tenant networking setup

  • Create the network segment ranges

Note: The 'physical-network' name must match name of the datanetwork configured in sysinv via the 'system datanetwork-add' command above.

ADMINID=`openstack project list | grep admin | awk '{print $2}'`
PHYSNET0='physnet0'
PHYSNET1='physnet1'

openstack network segment range create ${PHYSNET0}-a --network-type vlan --physical-network ${PHYSNET0}  --minimum 400 --maximum 499 --private --project ${ADMINID}

openstack network segment range create  ${PHYSNET0}-b --network-type vlan  --physical-network ${PHYSNET0}  --minimum 10 --maximum 10 --shared

openstack network segment range create ${PHYSNET1}-a --network-type vlan  --physical-network  ${PHYSNET1} --minimum 500 --maximum 599  --private --project ${ADMINID}
