Requirements
StackGeek provides these scripts and this guide which will give you a working installation of OpenStack Essex in about 10 minutes. Before you start your OpenStack setup, please read the following requirements carefully: 1. You need a box with at least 8GB of RAM, 4 processing cores, (2) hard drives, and (1-2) ethernet cards. 2. You need a clean install of Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS 64-bit server on your box. This guide will NOT work with Ubuntu 12.10. 3. A good dubstep track (this is optional). Only the primary ethernet card needs to be connected to the network. If you only have one ethernet card, you can hack the scripts to use the primary interface for your private network.

Installing OpenStack on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS in 10 Minutes - StackGeek

Login to your box and install g i t with a p t g e t. We'll become root and do an update first.

Install the Base Scripts

Be sure to take a look at the scripts before you run them. Keep in mind the setup scripts will periodically prompt you for input, either for confirming installation of a package, or asking you for information for configuration. Start the installation by running the first script:
. / o p e n s t a c k _ b a s e _ 1 . s h

When the script finishes you'll see instructions for manually configuring your network. You can edit the i n t e r f a c e s file by doing a:
v i m/ e t c / n e t w o r k / i n t e r f a c e s

Copy and paste the network code provided by the script into the file and then edit:
a u t oe t h 0 i f a c ee t h 0i n e ts t a t i c a d d r e s s1 0 . 0 . 1 . 2 0 n e t w o r k1 0 . 0 . 1 . 0 n e t m a s k2 5 5 . 2 5 5 . 2 5 5 . 0 b r o a d c a s t1 0 . 0 . 1 . 2 5 5 g a t e w a y1 0 . 0 . 1 . 1 d n s n a m e s e r v e r s8 . 8 . 8 . 8 a u t oe t h 1

Change the settings for your network configuration and then restart networking and run the next script:
/ e t c / i n i t . d / n e t w o r k i n gr e s t a r t . / o p e n s t a c k _ b a s e _ 2 . s h

After the second script finishes, you'll need to set up a logical volume for Nova to use for creating snapshots and volumes. Nova is OpenStack's compute controller process. Here's the output from the format and volume creation process:

Your device names may vary.

Installing MySql
The OpenStack components use MySQL for storing state information. Start the install script for MySQL by entering the following:
. / o p e n s t a c k _ m y s q l . s h

You'll be prompted for a password to be used for each of the components to talk to MySQL:

During the installation process you will be prompted for a root password for MySQL. In our install example we use the same password, 'f00bar'. At the end of the MySQL install you'll be prompted for your root password again.

Installing Keystone
Keystone is OpenStack's identity manager. Start the install of Keystone by doing:
. / o p e n s t a c k _ k e y s t o n e . s h

You'll be prompted for a token, the password you entered for OpenStack's services, and your email address. The email address is used to populate the user's information in the database.

You should be able to query Keystone at this point. You'll need to source the s t a c k r c file before you talk to Keystone:
.. / s t a c k r c k e y s t o n eu s e r l i s t

Keystone should return a list of users:

Installing Glance
Glance is OpenStack's image manager. Start the install of Glance by doing:
. / o p e n s t a c k _ g l a n c e . s h N o t e :

You can safely ignore the S A D e p r e c a t i o n W a r n i n g warning thrown by Glance when it starts.

The script will download an Ubuntu 12.04 LTS cloud image from StackGeek's S3 bucket. Go grab some coffee while it's downloading. Once it's done, you should be able to get a list of images:
g l a n c ei n d e x

Here's the expected output:

Installing Nova

11/1/13

Installing OpenStack on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS in 10 Minutes - StackGeek

We're almost done installing! The last component is the most important one as well. Nova is OpenStack's compute and network manager. It's responsible for starting instances, creating snapshots and volumes, and managing the network. Start the Nova install by doing:
. / o p e n s t a c k _ n o v a . s h

A Bit on Networking First

You'll immediately be prompted for a few items, including your existing network interface's IP address, the fixed network address, and the floating pool addresses:

The script isn't very sophisticated and doesn't use defaults, so be sure you type in things

carefully! You can rerun the script if you mess up. There's a nice subnet calculator here if you need help with network masks. For reference, the / 2 7 above is called the 'mask bits' in the calculator. The fixed network is a set of IP addresses which will be local to the compute nodes. Think of these addresses as being held and routed internally inside any of the compute node instances. If you decide to use a larger network, you could use something like 1 0 . 0 . 4 . 0 / 2 4 and a starting address of 1 0 . 0 . 4 . 1. The floating network is a pool of addresses which can be assigned to the instances you are running. For example, you could start a web server and map an external IP to it for serving a site on the Internet. In the example above we use a private network because we're doing this at the house, but if your routing equipment/network allows it you could assign externally routed IPs to OpenStack instances.

Finish Installing Nova

Nova should finish installing after you enter all the network information. When it's done, you should be able to get a list of images from Glance via Nova:
n o v ai m a g e l i s t

And get the expected output we saw earlier from Glance:

Hi, thanks very much for the guide, I'd it setup in real 10 mins. Now on the dashboard, I logged in as Admin and under Instance and Volumes, I created one for 5 GB, its showing as "Creating" under the status for more than an hour. Is this right? Also, am not able to delete it, it shows that I don't have appropriate permission (is it because its in creating state?) Please help. Thanks

Sounds like it may be an issue with your logical volume. Can you double check that portion of the setup by doing a 'sudo lvdisplay' and see if you have a 'nova-volumes' group?

Upgraded Discuss so we'll have more nested replies. RAID 1 is mirroring, so you'll only see a single device handle for it (sda). That device handle has been partitioned into one large partition of type 83 (Linux) and one swap partition. You don't have any space to create another partition
www.stackgeek.com/guides/gettingstarted.html 7/13

11/1/13

and one swap partition. You don't have any space to create another partition on the drive to use for the logical volume unit (which would be of type 8e, Linux LVM). Get another drive, or reformat your install to allow for some extra space for the logical volume partition. It doesn't need to be huge, say 50GB or so, depending on your needs. Once you get the partition in there, run the following to create the groups: pvcreate -ff /dev/sdb1 vgcreate nova-volumes /dev/sdb1 Obviously substitute the sdb1 for whatever your empty/open partition is going to be.

Hi Kordless, sorry for the late reply, since I din't get any mail for your above reply, I thought you dint see it. Thanks anyways for enlightment on this. Well, as a matter of fact and due to urgency of need of servers, I formatted the server and installed VMWare. I have another tower server and am gonna try on that. The config of that server is: 4 GB RAM and 1 X 250 GB and 1 X 500 GB HDD. Is that good enough for the Open stack? If it works out well, I will put it in a bigger one. And how about the partition command for this type of 2 HDDs I have? Please advice, Thanks in advance.

Hi, Would you be able to help me with some settings please. I am trying to install this in VMware player to get to grips with everything however I am having issue with the network settings. I have both network adaptors set to NAT and the NAT adaptor address within my windows host is 10.0.1.1 and the IP address of this Ubuntu machine is the set correctly as per the settings given at the end of script one however I can't get out onto the internet from the Ubuntu machine. I am able to ping 10.0.1.1 however I can't even ping googles DNS server for example. My routing table for the Ubuntu VM I am trying to install this on is attached. Any help is greatly appreciated! Many thanks in advance

Hi Kord, I deleted everything besides the basic instal as mentioned above and am now stuck at creating the key for ssh. I am stuck at the access and security point. The moment I click on access and security, my browser just starts spinning and but I can not get to the Access & Security page.

Looks like RabbitMQ isn't running. Can you share your nova configs in /etc/nova/ and a dump of 'ipconfig -a'?

I don't see the point of including the ERROR lines. Can you explain? The nova logs in /var/log/nova will give some idea of what is going on with the instance launch. I don't use the command line a ton, but perhaps the Horizon GUI has a bit of info for you.

Obviously it would be helpful to post what is broken with it so others could benefit. What exactly isn't working? Again, I've tested these scripts on a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04LTS. You have to have 2 NICs at eth0 and eth1 and 2 hard drives sitting at /dev/sda and /dev/sdb.

Kordless, Something I've been trying to resolve since forever. I am not necessarily asking you for a disertation on this but it is clearly something I have trouble getting my head around. My network is 192.168.0.0 where the router is 0.1. Back when I was using Eucalyptus during install you could carve out a range, i.e. 192.168.0.150-192.168.0.200 for the public address range from what a publicly visible ip address would be assigned. This worked great. Early on I asked Vish this question and he said (and this will be dated) that facility did not exist I have two machines available. Machine 1 (controller/compute) eth0 192.168.0.0 and eth1 10.10.0.1) Machine 2 (compute only) eth0 10.10.0.2, eth1 192.168.0.0. No assigned addresses out of the 192.168 subnet get assigned to bare metal passed 0.20. I am trying to get my head around what the OpenStack facsimile of this would be. If you don't mind the time to answer I would appreciate it or, in the absence, if you would point me to a discussion of this I'd appreciate that as well. I am having a hard time understanding why a vm guest wouldn't want public accessibility, either outbound and/or inbound. Inter-subnet all instances can communicate with each other via their 'native' address, i.e. 10.10.0.? but to another subnet or the outside would wouldn't they need, in this case, a 192,169 subnet address? Thanks, Walt
