VTN Devstack Script

  • The local.conf is a user-maintained settings file. This allows all custom settings for DevStack to be contained in a single file. This file is processed strictly in sequence. The following datas are needed to be set in the local.conf file:
  • Set the Host_IP as the detection is unreliable.
  • Set FLOATING_RANGE to a range not used on the local network, i.e. 192.168.1.224/27. This configures IP addresses ending in 225-254 to be used as floating IPs.
  • Set FLAT_INTERFACE to the Ethernet interface that connects the host to your local network. This is the interface that should be configured with the static IP address mentioned above.
  • If the *_PASSWORD variables are not set, we will be prompted to enter values during the execution of stack.sh.
  • Set ADMIN_PASSWORD . This password is used for the admin and demo accounts set up as OpenStack users. We can login to the OpenStack GUI with this credentials only.
  • Set the MYSQL_PASSWORD. The default here is a random hex string which is inconvenient if you need to look at the database directly for anything.
  • Set the RABBIT_PASSWORD. This is used by messaging services used by both the nodes.
  • Set the service password. This is used by the OpenStack services (Nova, Glance, etc) to authenticate with Keystone.
