==Deployment Environment Setup==
 
 
 
This section describes how to set up a StarlingX Simplex deployment system in a workstation computer. After completing these steps, you will be able to deploy and run your StarlingX system on the following Linux distribution:
 
 
 
* Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64-bit
 
 
 
===Updating Your Operating System===
 
 
 
Before proceeding with the build, ensure your OS is up to date. You’ll first need to update the local database list of available packages:
 
  
 +
Run the libvirt qemu setup scripts. Setting up virtualized OAM and Management networks:
 
<pre><nowiki>
 
<pre><nowiki>
$ sudo apt-get update
+
$ bash setup_network.sh
 
</nowiki></pre>
 
</nowiki></pre>
  
===Installing Requirements and Dependencies===
+
Building xmls for definition of virtual servers:
 
 
Install the required packages in an Ubuntu host system with:
 
 
 
 
<pre><nowiki>
 
<pre><nowiki>
$ sudo apt-get install git virt-manager libvirt-bin qemu-system
+
$ bash setup_allinone.sh -i <starlingx iso image>
 
</nowiki></pre>
 
</nowiki></pre>
  
===Installing Deployment Tool===
+
==== Accessing Virtual Server Consoles ====
  
Clone the <stx-deployment> project. Usually you’ll want to clone it under your user’s home directory.
+
The xml for virtual servers in stx-tools repo, deployment/libvirt, provides both graphical and text consoles.
  
<pre><nowiki>
+
Access the graphical console in virt-manager by right-click on the domain (the server) and selecting "Open".
$ cd $HOME
 
$ git clone <stx-deployment>
 
</nowiki></pre>
 
  
===Getting the StarlingX ISO Image===
+
Access the textual console with the command "virsh console $DOMAIN", where DOMAIN is the name of the server shown in virsh.
  
Follow the instructions from [[StarlingX/Developer_Guide]] to build a StarlingX ISO image. Copy the StarlingX ISO Image to the ''<stx-deployment>'' libvirt project directory naming it as bootimage.iso:
+
When booting the controller-0 for the first time, both the serial and graphical consoles will present the initial configuration menu for the cluster.  One can select serial or graphical console for controller-0.  For the other nodes however only serial is used, regardless of which option is selected.
  
<pre><nowiki>
+
Open the graphic console on all servers before powering them on to observe the boot device selection and PXI boot progress.  Run "virsh console $DOMAIN" command promptly after power on to see the initial boot sequence which follows the boot device selection.  One has a few seconds to do this.
$ cp <starlingx iso image> $HOME/<stx-deployment>/libvirt/bootimage.iso
 
</nowiki></pre>

Navigate to the ''<stx-deployment>'' libvirt project directory:
 
<pre><nowiki>
 
$ cd <stx-deployment>/libvirt
 
</nowiki></pre>
 
 
 
Run the install packages script:
 
<pre><nowiki>
 
$ bash install_packages.sh
 
</nowiki></pre>
 
 
 
Run the libvirt qemu setup script:
 
<pre><nowiki>
 
$ bash setup_tic.sh
 
</nowiki></pre>
 
 
 
From the KVM/VirtManager window, power on the host to be configured as Controller-0 and show the virtual machine console and details:
 
* When the installer is loaded and the installer welcome screen appears in the Controller-0 host, select the type of installation "All-in-one Controller Configuration".
 
* Select the "Graphical Console" as the console to use during installation.
 
* Select "Standard Security Boot Profile" as the Security Profile.
 
* Monitor the initialization until it is complete. When initialization is complete, a reboot is initiated on the Controller-0 host, briefly displays a GNU GRUB screen, and then boots automatically into the StarlingX image.
 
  
 +
Power on the host to be configured as Controller-0, with the StarlingX ISO on a USB in a bootable USB slot. Wait for the console to show the StarlingX ISO booting options:
 +
* '''All-in-one Controller Configuration'''
 +
** When the installer is loaded and the installer welcome screen appears in the Controller-0 host, select the type of installation "All-in-one Controller Configuration".

This section describes how to perform the Controller-0 configuration interactively just to bootstrap system with minimum critical data. Except where noted, all the commands must be executed from the console of the active controller (here assumed to be controller-0).
  
When run interactively, the config_controller script presents a series of prompts for initial configuration of StarlingX. The prompts are grouped by configuration area. To start the script interactively, use the following command, select Simplex as the configuration option and accept all the default values for the rest of the options:

When run interactively, the config_controller script presents a series of prompts for initial configuration of StarlingX:
 +
* For the Virtual Environment, you can accept all the default values immediately after ‘system date and time’.
 +
* For a Physical Deployment, answer the bootstrap configuration questions with answers applicable to your particular physical setup.
 +
<br>
 +
The script is used to configure the first controller in the StarlingX cluster as controller-0. The prompts are grouped by configuration area. To start the script interactively, use the following command with no parameters:

Preparing Servers

Bare Metal

Required Server:

  • Combined Server (Controller + Compute): 1

Hardware Requirements

The recommended minimum requirements for the physical servers where StarlingX Simplex will be deployed, include:

  • ‘Minimum’ Processor:
    • Dual-CPU Intel® Xeon® E5 26xx Family (SandyBridge) 8 cores/socket
  • Memory: 64 GB
  • BIOS:
    • Hyper-Threading Tech: Enabled
    • Virtualization Technology: Enabled
    • VT for Directed I/O: Enabled
    • CPU Power and Performance Policy: Performance
    • CPU C State Control: Disabled
    • Plug & Play BMC Detection: Disabled
  • Primary Disk:
    • 500 GB SDD or NVMe
  • Additional Disks:
    • 1 or more 500 GB disks (min. 10K RPM)
  • Network Ports
    • Management: 10GE
    • OAM: 10GE

Virtual Environment

Run the libvirt qemu setup scripts. Setting up virtualized OAM and Management networks:

$ bash setup_network.sh

Building xmls for definition of virtual servers:

$ bash setup_allinone.sh -i <starlingx iso image>

Accessing Virtual Server Consoles

The xml for virtual servers in stx-tools repo, deployment/libvirt, provides both graphical and text consoles.

Access the graphical console in virt-manager by right-click on the domain (the server) and selecting "Open".

Access the textual console with the command "virsh console $DOMAIN", where DOMAIN is the name of the server shown in virsh.

When booting the controller-0 for the first time, both the serial and graphical consoles will present the initial configuration menu for the cluster. One can select serial or graphical console for controller-0. For the other nodes however only serial is used, regardless of which option is selected.

Open the graphic console on all servers before powering them on to observe the boot device selection and PXI boot progress. Run "virsh console $DOMAIN" command promptly after power on to see the initial boot sequence which follows the boot device selection. One has a few seconds to do this.

Controller-0 Host Installation

Installing controller-0 involves initializing a host with software and then applying a bootstrap configuration from the command line. The configured bootstrapped host becomes Controller-0.
Procedure:

  1. Power on the server that will be controller-0 with the StarlingX ISO on a USB in a bootable USB slot.
  2. Configure the controller using the config_controller script.

Initializing Controller-0

This section describes how to initialize StarlingX in host Controller-0. Except where noted, all the commands must be executed from a console of the host.

Power on the host to be configured as Controller-0, with the StarlingX ISO on a USB in a bootable USB slot. Wait for the console to show the StarlingX ISO booting options:

  • All-in-one Controller Configuration
    • When the installer is loaded and the installer welcome screen appears in the Controller-0 host, select the type of installation "All-in-one Controller Configuration".
  • Graphical Console
    • Select the "Graphical Console" as the console to use during installation.
  • Standard Security Boot Profile
    • Select "Standard Security Boot Profile" as the Security Profile.


Monitor the initialization. When it is complete, a reboot is initiated on the Controller-0 host, briefly displays a GNU GRUB screen, and then boots automatically into the StarlingX image.
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:

Enter a new password for the wrsroot account:

New password:

Enter the new password again to confirm it:

Retype new password:

Controller-0 is initialized with StarlingX, and is ready for configuration.

Configuring Controller-0

This section describes how to perform the Controller-0 configuration interactively just to bootstrap system with minimum critical data. Except where noted, all the commands must be executed from the console of the active controller (here assumed to be controller-0).

When run interactively, the config_controller script presents a series of prompts for initial configuration of StarlingX:

  • For the Virtual Environment, you can accept all the default values immediately after ‘system date and time’.
  • For a Physical Deployment, answer the bootstrap configuration questions with answers applicable to your particular physical setup.


The script is used to configure the first controller in the StarlingX cluster as controller-0. The prompts are grouped by configuration area. To start the script interactively, use the following command with no parameters:

controller-0:~$ sudo config_controller
System Configuration
================
Enter ! at any prompt to abort...
...

Select [y] for System Date and Time:

System date and time:
-----------------------------

Is the current date and time correct?  [y/N]: y

Accept all the default values immediately after ‘system date and time’, for System mode choose "simplex":

...
1) duplex-direct: two node-redundant configuration. Management and
infrastructure networks are directly connected to peer ports
2) duplex - two node redundant configuration
3) simplex - single node non-redundant configuration
System mode [duplex-direct]: 3
...
Applying configuration (this will take several minutes):

Please complete any out of service commissioning steps with system commands and unlock controller to proceed.

After config_controller bootstrap configuration, REST API, CLI and Horizon interfaces are enabled on the controller-0 OAM IP Address. The remaining installation instructions will use the CLI.

Controller-0 Host Provision

On Controller-0, acquire Keystone administrative privileges:

controller-0:~$ source /etc/nova/openrc

Configuring Provider Networks at Installation

Set up one provider network of the vlan type, named providernet-a:

[wrsroot@controller-0 ~(keystone_admin)]$ neutron providernet-create providernet-a --type=vlan
[wrsroot@controller-0 ~(keystone_admin)]$ neutron providernet-range-create --name providernet-a-range1 --range 100-400 providernet-a

Unlocking Controller-0

You must unlock controller-0 so that you can use it to install Controller-1. Use the system host-unlock command:

[wrsroot@controller-0 ~(keystone_admin)]$ system host-unlock controller-0

The host is rebooted. During the reboot, the command line is unavailable, and any ssh connections are dropped. To monitor the progress of the reboot, use the controller-0 console.

Verifying the Controller-0 Configuration

On Controller-0, acquire Keystone administrative privileges:

controller-0:~$ source /etc/nova/openrc

Verify that the controller-0 services are running:

[wrsroot@controller-0 ~(keystone_admin)]$ system service-list
+-----+-------------------------------+--------------+----------------+
| id  | service_name                  | hostname     | state          |
+-----+-------------------------------+--------------+----------------+
...
| 1   | oam-ip                        | controller-0 | enabled-active |
| 2   | management-ip                 | controller-0 | enabled-active |
...
+-----+-------------------------------+--------------+----------------+

Verify that controller-0 has controller and compute subfunctions

[wrsroot@controller-0 ~(keystone_admin)]$ system host-show 1 | grep subfunctions
| subfunctions        | controller,compute                         |

Verify that controller-0 is unlocked, enabled, and available:

[wrsroot@controller-0 ~(keystone_admin)]$ system host-list
+----+--------------+-------------+----------------+-------------+--------------+
| id | hostname     | personality | administrative | operational | availability |
+----+--------------+-------------+----------------+-------------+--------------+
| 1  | controller-0 | controller  | unlocked       | enabled     | available    |
+----+--------------+-------------+----------------+-------------+--------------+

System Alarm List

When all nodes are Unlocked, Enabled and Available: check 'fm alarm-list' for issues.

Your StarlingX deployment is now up and running with 1 Controller with Cinder Storage and all OpenStack services up and running. You can now proceed with standard OpenStack APIs, CLIs and/or Horizon to load Glance Images, configure Nova Flavors, configure Neutron networks and launch Nova Virtual Machines.
