QuickStart Guide

Installing Mirantis OpenStack Manually


If you do not want to use the Mirantis VirtualBox scripts, you can install Mirantis OpenStack on VirtualBox
manually.
Warning
Do not use a manually configured environment for production or customized deployments.

17. Specify the following parameters to the Fuel Slave node network adapters:
o Promiscuous mode: Allow All
o Adapter Type: Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop
o Select the Cable Connected checkbox
18. Click Settings Storage.
19. Select Controller SATA
20. Click Create Hard Disk.
21. In the Create New Virtual Disk wizard, select:
o File type: VDI
o Storage details: Dynamically allocated

22. Click Create.
23. Create another disk as described in Step 18 - Step 22.
24. Repeat Step 10 - Step 23 for each Fuel Slave node.
25. Proceed to Mounting the Mirantis OpenStack ISO Image.

Mounting the Mirantis OpenStack ISO Image


To install Fuel, mount the Mirantis OpenStack ISO image in the virtual machine settings.
Procedure:

Installing Fuel
After you complete the steps described in Configuring Virtual Machines, install Fuel.
Procedure:

1. Power on the Fuel Master node VM to start the installation.


2. When prompted, select 1. Fuel Install (Static IP).
Fuel installs on the virtual machine. It may take some time.
3. Optionally, enter the Fuel Setup screen when the following message displays:
4. Press a key to enter Fuel Setup (or press ESC to skip)...

If you enter Fuel Setup, the following configuration screen displays:

For a testing environment, you do not need to modify any settings.


5. Press F8.
System response:
Loading docker images. (This may take a while)

When Fuel completes the installation, the following message displays:


Welcome to the Fuel server
...
fuel login:

6. After the Fuel Master node installs, power on the Fuel Slave nodes. When the Fuel Slave nodes boot,
the Fuel Master node automatically discovers them.
7. Log in to the Fuel Master Node CLI using the default credentials.
8. Configure network interfaces:
1. Prepare the network configuration files:
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.

sed -i.orig \
'/^UUID=\|^NM_CONTROLLED=/d;s/^\(.*\)=yes/\1=no/g;' \
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth{0,1,2}
sed -i.orig \
's/^ONBOOT=.*/ONBOOT=yes/;/^ONBOOT=/iNM_CONTROLLED=no' \
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth{0,1,2}

These commands create a backup of network configuration, removes the network manager
options, disables default settings, enables network interface activation at boot time, and disables
the network manager.
8. Configure eth1 to use as a static IP address with the corresponding netmask.
Example:
sed -i 's/^BOOTPROTO=.*/BOOTPROTO=static/' \
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
sed -i '/^BOOTPROTO/aIPADDR=172.16.0.1\nNETMASK=255.255.255.0' \
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1

Therefore, eth1 will have a static IP address 172.16.0.1 with the netmask 255.255.255.0.
9. Configure eth2 to obtain an IP address from the VirtualBox DHCP server and use a default
route:
10.
11.
12.
13.

sed -i 's/^BOOTPROTO=.*/BOOTPROTO=dhcp/;s/^DEFROUTE=.*/DEFROUTE=yes/' \
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth2
sed -i '/^BOOTPROTO/aPERSISTENT_DHCLIENT=yes' \
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth2

14. Create a backup of network configuration and disable zero-configuration networking:


15.

sed -i.orig '/NOZEROCONF/d;aNOZEROCONF=yes' /etc/sysconfig/network

Therefore, eth2 will use DHCP only.


16. Remove the default route and system-wide settings from eth0:
17.
18.

sed -i '/^GATEWAY=/d' /etc/sysconfig/network \


/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
19. Add the aType Loopback parameter to the ifcfg-lo configuration
20.
sed -i.orig '/^DEVICE=lo/aTYPE=Loopback' \
21.
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-lo

file:

22. Enable NAT (MASQUERADE) and IP forwarding for the Public network:
Example:
iptables -I FORWARD 1 --dst 172.16.0.0/24 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I FORWARD 1 --src 172.16.0.0/24 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 172.16.0.0/24 \! -d 172.16.0.0/24 \
-j MASQUERADE
service iptables save

23. Disable NetworkManager and apply the new network settings:


24.

nmcli networking off &>/dev/null ; service network restart

25. Verify the Internet connection on the Fuel Master node:


26.

ping -c 3 google.com

Example of system response:


PING google.com (216.58.214.206) 56(84)
64 bytes from bud02s23-in-f14.1e100.net

(216.58.214.206): icmp_seq=2
(216.58.214.206): icmp_seq=3

27. Create a bootstrap image for Fuel Slave nodes:


28.

fuel-bootstrap -v --debug build --activate

29. Verify the bootstrap images:


30.

fuel-bootstrap list

Example of system response:


+--------------------------------------+---------------+--------+

+--------------------------------------+---------------+--------+

9. Log in to the Fuel UI by pointing your browser to the URL specified in the command prompt.
Use the default login and password.
10. Proceed to Create an OpenStack environment in Fuel User Guide.
