Matthew Kassawara 117606139c Install: Neutron updates for Mitaka
Update neutron content for Mitaka.

1) Change 'public' to 'provider' and 'private' to
   'self-service' to improve distinction between these
   networks using neutronish terms.
2) Remove explicit installation of some packages due to
   dependency fixes.
3) Remove explicit configuration of verbosity.
4) Remove explicit configuration of ARP spoofing protection.
5) Remove extraneous configuration for the metadata agent.
6) Remove extraneous configuration for nova-neutron
   interaction.
7) Reduce discussion of MTU because Mitaka fixes most
   of the issues, but we still need to explain the
   most limitation of overlay networks.
8) Generally improve wording.

Install and configure compute node

The compute node handles connectivity and security groups <security group> for instances.

ubuntu or rdo or obs

Install the components

ubuntu

# apt-get install neutron-plugin-linuxbridge-agent conntrack

rdo

# yum install openstack-neutron-linuxbridge ebtables

obs

# zypper install --no-recommends openstack-neutron-linuxbridge-agent

debian

Install and configure the Networking components

  1. # apt-get install neutron-plugin-linuxbridge-agent
  2. Respond to prompts for database management, Identity service credentials, service endpoint, and message queue credentials.

  3. Select the ML2 plug-in:

    Neutron plug-in selection dialog

    Note

    Selecting the ML2 plug-in also populates the service_plugins and allow_overlapping_ips options in the /etc/neutron/neutron.conf file with the appropriate values.

Configure the common component

The Networking common component configuration includes the authentication mechanism, message queue, and plug-in.

  • Edit the /etc/neutron/neutron.conf file and complete the following actions:

    • In the [database] section, comment out any connection options because compute nodes do not directly access the database.

    • In the [DEFAULT] and [oslo_messaging_rabbit] sections, configure RabbitMQ message queue access:

      [DEFAULT]
      ...
      rpc_backend = rabbit
      
      [oslo_messaging_rabbit]
      ...
      rabbit_host = controller
      rabbit_userid = openstack
      rabbit_password = RABBIT_PASS

      Replace RABBIT_PASS with the password you chose for the openstack account in RabbitMQ.

    • In the [DEFAULT] and [keystone_authtoken] sections, configure Identity service access:

      [DEFAULT]
      ...
      auth_strategy = keystone
      
      [keystone_authtoken]
      ...
      auth_uri = http://controller:5000
      auth_url = http://controller:35357
      memcached_servers = controller:11211
      auth_type = password
      project_domain_id = default
      user_domain_id = default
      project_name = service
      username = neutron
      password = NEUTRON_PASS

      Replace NEUTRON_PASS with the password you chose for the neutron user in the Identity service.

      Note

      Comment out or remove any other options in the [keystone_authtoken] section.

    rdo

    • In the [oslo_concurrency] section, configure the lock path:

      [oslo_concurrency]
      ...
      lock_path = /var/lib/neutron/tmp

Configure networking options

Choose the same networking option that you chose for the controller node to configure services specific to it. Afterwards, return here and proceed to neutron-compute-compute.

Configure Compute to use Networking

  • Edit the /etc/nova/nova.conf file and complete the following actions:
    • In the [neutron] section, configure access parameters:

      [neutron]
      ...
      url = http://controller:9696
      auth_url = http://controller:35357
      auth_type = password
      project_domain_id = default
      user_domain_id = default
      region_name = RegionOne
      project_name = service
      username = neutron
      password = NEUTRON_PASS

      Replace NEUTRON_PASS with the password you chose for the neutron user in the Identity service.

Finalize installation

rdo

  1. Restart the Compute service:

    # systemctl restart openstack-nova-compute.service
  2. Start the Linux bridge agent and configure it to start when the system boots:

    # systemctl enable neutron-linuxbridge-agent.service
    # systemctl start neutron-linuxbridge-agent.service

obs

  1. The Networking service initialization scripts expect the variable NEUTRON_PLUGIN_CONF in the /etc/sysconfig/neutron file to reference the ML2 plug-in configuration file. Edit the /etc/sysconfig/neutron file and add the following:

    NEUTRON_PLUGIN_CONF="/etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf.ini"
  2. Restart the Compute service:

    # systemctl restart openstack-nova-compute.service
  3. Start the Linux Bridge agent and configure it to start when the system boots:

    # systemctl enable openstack-neutron-linuxbridge-agent.service
    # systemctl start openstack-neutron-linuxbridge-agent.service

ubuntu or debian

  1. Restart the Compute service:

    # service nova-compute restart
  2. Restart the Linux bridge agent:

    # service neutron-plugin-linuxbridge-agent restart
