Cloud in Action: Install OpenStack Ocata from scratch

 

薛国锋     xueguofeng2011@gmail.com


OpenStack can control and manage large pools of compute, storage, and networking resources throughout a datacenter, througha dashboard or via the OpenStack API, and work with popular enterprises and open source technologies making it ideal for heterogeneous infrastructure. Exercising OpenStack can greatly grow our knowledge and skills on IT/DC and Cloud. Today we are going to install OpenStack from scratch and get some hands-on experiences with some of its key services. Below is the physical and logical network design :

The simplest architecture is deployed here for us to have a fast and overall understanding for OpenStack:

-         Adopt Ubuntu Desktop (ubuntu-16.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso) for easy configuration:

https://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop

-         Adopt OpenStack Ocata release and Canonical’s Ubuntu Cloud archive repository for Ubuntu 16.04 (LTS): https://docs.openstack.org/ocata/install-guide-ubuntu/InstallGuide.pdf

-         Adopt ‘Nested Virtualization’ to build a minimum OpenStack system and launch instances on top of VMs: 1 controller node(VM) and 2 compute nodes(VM) without block and object storage nodes; networking agents reside on the controller node instead of one or more dedicated network nodes; adopt the Networking Option 1 to provide a DHCP service for launched instances, and bridge VMs and virtual networks to physical networks which actually provide layer-3 routing services; LBaaS and FWassS arenot supported in this option.

-         The controller node runs the Identity service, Image service, management portions of Compute, management portion of Networking, various Networking agents, and the Dashboard. It also includes supporting services such as an SQL database, message queue, and NTP.

-         The compute node runs the hypervisor portion of Compute that operates instances. By default, Compute uses the KVM hypervisor. The compute node also runs a Networking service agent that connects instances to virtual networks and provides firewalling services to instances via security groups. 2 compute nodes are deployed in this test.

-         Two VMnets are created:VMnet1(192.168.100.0/24, No DHCP and IP GW by VMware Workstation) simulates the physical network connecting the lanuched VMs with DC_GW(192.168.100.111/24,10.0.0.111/24), also linked to VMnet8(10.0.0.0/24, IP GW:10.0.0.2, DHCP: 10.0.0.128~ 10.0.0.254) which serves as both the management network and Internet. The IP addr of DNS is 10.0.1.1.

Main blockers

 

Following the install guide carefully, I have still been confronted with several heavy blockers during theinstallation:

 

1) The dashboard gives an “internal server error” .

cat  /var/log/apache2/error.log : [Sun Oct 2214:42:41.315045 2017] [wsgi:error] [pid 5472:tid 140055544346368] [remote10.0.0.11:36929] IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied:'/var/lib/openstack-dashboard/secret_key'.

Solved it in Controller Node by:sudo chown www-data:www-data /var/lib/openstack-dashboard/secret_key

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42632130/cant-launch-openstack-horizon-dashboard-ioerror-errno-13-permission-denied

 

2) No response from the dashboard.

Solved it in Controller Node by: sudo gedit /etc/apache2/conf-available/openstack-dashboard.conf

WSGIApplicationGroup%{GLOBAL}

https://ask.openstack.org/en/question/91352/openstack-mitaka-can-not-access-dashboard/

 

3) VMs don’t boot and are stuck at "Booting fromHarddisk GRUB" in the console VNC.

Solved it in Compute Nodes by:sudo gedit /etc/nova/nova.conf

https://ask.openstack.org/en/question/107212/ocata-vnc-shows-cirros-instance-stuck-at-grub/

 

In addtion, please be extremely careful with the configuration files of Nova and Neutron; any minor negligence would make the system fail to work and it is very hard and time-consuming to find the reasons.
