History

• January 29, 2019: Removed obsolete neutron host/interface configuration and updated DNS instructions.
• January 29, 2019: Configure datanetworks in sysinv, prior to referencing it in the 'system host-if-modify/host-if-add command'.

Introduction

These instructions are for a Standard, 2 controllers and 2 computes (2+2) configuration, 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

Refer to these instructions on the AIO SX page Building the Software

Setup the VirtualBox VM

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

     * Type: Linux
     * Version: Other Linux (64-bit)
     * Memory size:
        * Controller nodes: 16384 MB
        * Compute nodes: 10240 MB
     * Storage: 
        * Recommend to use VDI and dynamically allocated disks
        * Controller nodes; at least two disks are required:
             * 240GB disk for a root disk 
             * 50GB for an OSD
        * Compute nodes; at least one disk is required:
             * 240GB disk for a root disk 
     * System->Processors: 
        * Controller nodes: 4 cpu
        * Compute nodes: 3 cpu
     * Network:
        * Controller nodes:
           * 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
           * Internal management network:
              * Adapter 2: Internal Network, Name: intnet-management; Intel PRO/1000MT Desktop, Advanced: Promiscuous Mode: Allow All;
        * Compute nodes:
           * Unused network 
              * Adapter 1: Internal Network, Name: intnet-unused; Advanced: Intel PRO/1000MT Desktop, Promiscuous Mode: Allow All (Optional - if infrastructure network will be used then set "Name" to "intnet-infra")
           * Internal management network:
              * Adapter 2: Internal Network, Name: intnet-management; Intel PRO/1000MT Desktop, Advanced: Promiscuous Mode: Allow All;
           * Data Network
              * Adapter 3: Internal Network, Name: intnet-data1; Advanced: Paravirtualized Network (virtio-net), Promiscuous Mode: Allow All
              * Adapter 4: Internal Network, Name: intnet-data2; Advanced: Paravirtualized Network (virtio-net), Promiscuous Mode: Allow All
     * Serial Ports: Select this to use a serial console.
        * Windows: Select "Enable Serial Port", port mode to "Host Pipe". Select "Create Pipe" (or deselect "Connect to existing pipe/socket") and then give a Port/File Path of something like "\\.\pipe\controller-0" or "\\.\pipe\compute-1" which you can later use in PuTTY to connect to the console. Choose speed of 9600 or 38400.
        * Linux: Select "Enable Serial Port" and set the port mode to "Host Pipe". Select "Create Pipe" (or deselect "Connect to existing pipe/socket") and then give a Port/File Path of something like "/tmp/controller_serial" which you can later use with socat - for example: socat UNIX-CONNECT:/tmp/controller_serial stdio,raw,echo=0,icanon=0

Set the boot priority for interface 2 (eth1) on ALL VMs (controller, compute and storage)

# First list the VMs
abc@server:~$ VBoxManage list vms
"controller-0" {3db3a342-780f-41d5-a012-dbe6d3591bf1}
"controller-1" {ad89a706-61c6-4c27-8c78-9729ade01460}
"compute-0" {41e80183-2497-4e31-bffd-2d8ec5bcb397}
"compute-1" {68382c1d-9b67-4f3b-b0d5-ebedbe656246}
"storage-0" {7eddce9e-b814-4c40-94ce-2cde1fd2d168}

# Then set the priority for interface 2. Do this for ALL VMs.
# Command syntax: VBoxManage modifyvm <uuid> --nicbootprio2 1
abc@server:~$ VBoxManage modifyvm 3db3a342-780f-41d5-a012-dbe6d3591bf1 --nicbootprio2 1

#OR do them all with a foreach loop in linux
abc@server:~$ for f in $(VBoxManage list vms | cut -f 1 -d " " | sed 's/"//g'); do echo $f; VBoxManage modifyvm $f --nicbootprio2 1; done

# NOTE: In windows, you need to specify the full path to the VBoxManage executable - for example:
"\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe"

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:

Setup Controller-0

Install StarlingX

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

• Standard Controller Configuration
• Graphical Console
• STANDARD Security Boot Profile

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

Refer to these instructions on the AIO DX page Bootstrap the controller

Provisioning controller-0

Configure OAM, Management and Cluster interfaces

Refer to these instructions on the AIO DX page Configure OAM, Management and Cluster interfaces

(Hardware lab only) Set the ntp server

Refer to these instructions on the AIO SX page Set the ntp server

Configure the vswitch type (optional)

Refer to these instructions on the AIO SX page Configure the vswitch type

Prepare the host for running the containerized services

• On the controller node, apply the node label for controller functions

source /etc/platform/openrc
system host-label-assign controller-0 openstack-control-plane=enabled

Unlock controller-0

source /etc/platform/openrc
system host-unlock controller-0

Install remaining hosts

PXE boot hosts

Power-on, the remaining hosts, they should PXEboot from the controller.

Press F-12 for network boot if they do not.

Once booted from PXE, hosts should be visible with Check with 'system host-list':

[wrsroot@controller-0 ~(keystone_admin)]$ system host-list
+----+--------------+-------------+----------------+-------------+--------------+
| id | hostname     | personality | administrative | operational | availability |
+----+--------------+-------------+----------------+-------------+--------------+
| 1  | controller-0 | controller  | unlocked       | enabled     | available    |
| 2  | None         | None        | locked         | disabled    | offline      |
| 3  | None         | None        | locked         | disabled    | offline      |
| 4  | None         | None        | locked         | disabled    | offline      |
+----+--------------+-------------+----------------+-------------+--------------+

Configure host personalities

source /etc/platform/openrc
system host-update 2 personality=controller
system host-update 3 personality=worker hostname=compute-0
system host-update 4 personality=worker hostname=compute-1

At this point hosts should start installing.

Wait for hosts to become online

Once all Nodes have been installed and rebooted, on Controller-0 list the hosts:

+----+--------------+-------------+----------------+-------------+--------------+
| id | hostname     | personality | administrative | operational | availability |
+----+--------------+-------------+----------------+-------------+--------------+
| 1  | controller-0 | controller  | unlocked       | enabled     | available    |
| 2  | controller-1 | controller  | locked         | disabled    | online       |
| 3  | compute-0    | worker      | locked         | disabled    | online       |
| 4  | compute-1    | worker      | locked         | disabled    | online       |
+----+--------------+-------------+----------------+-------------+--------------+

Prepare the remaining hosts 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-1 openstack-control-plane=enabled
for NODE in compute-0 compute-1; do
  system host-label-assign $NODE  openstack-compute-node=enabled
  system host-label-assign $NODE  openvswitch=enabled
  system host-label-assign $NODE  sriov=enabled
done

Provisioning controller-1

Add interfaces on Controller-1

• Add the OAM Interface on Controller-1
• Add the Cluster-Host Interface on Controller-1

source /etc/platform/openrc
system host-if-modify -n oam0 -c platform controller-1 $(system host-if-list -a controller-1 | awk '/enp0s3/{print $2}')
system interface-network-assign controller-1 oam0 oam
system interface-network-assign controller-1 mgmt0 cluster-host

Unlock Controller-1

source /etc/platform/openrc
system host-unlock controller-1

Wait for node to be available:

+----+--------------+-------------+----------------+-------------+--------------+
| id | hostname     | personality | administrative | operational | availability |
+----+--------------+-------------+----------------+-------------+--------------+
| 1  | controller-0 | controller  | unlocked       | enabled     | available    |
| 2  | controller-1 | controller  | unlocked       | enabled     | available    |
| 3  | compute-0    | worker      | locked         | disabled    | online       |
| 4  | compute-1    | worker      | locked         | disabled    | online       |
+----+--------------+-------------+----------------+-------------+--------------+
