New variable BM_DNSMASQ_FROM_NOVA_NETWORK: if setting this true, DevStack configures nova-network's dnsmask to provide PXE and does not run baremetal's one. In this case PXE traffic occur in the fixed-ip network, so no dedicated network for PXE is needed. Change-Id: I67cade02c03ab45ab6b77d8da9066d7d5ec6c78b |

DevStack is a set of scripts and utilities to quickly deploy an OpenStack cloud.
Goals
- To quickly build dev OpenStack environments in a clean Ubuntu or Fedora environment
- To describe working configurations of OpenStack (which code branches work together? what do config files look like for those branches?)
- To make it easier for developers to dive into OpenStack so that they can productively contribute without having to understand every part of the system at once
- To make it easy to prototype cross-project features
- To sanity-check OpenStack builds (used in gating commits to the primary repos)
Read more at http://devstack.org (built from the gh-pages branch)
IMPORTANT: Be sure to carefully read stack.sh
and any other scripts you execute before you run them, as they install software and may alter your networking configuration. We strongly recommend that you run stack.sh
in a clean and disposable vm when you are first getting started.
Devstack on Xenserver
If you would like to use Xenserver as the hypervisor, please refer to the instructions in ./tools/xen/README.md
.
Versions
The devstack master branch generally points to trunk versions of OpenStack components. For older, stable versions, look for branches named stable/[release] in the DevStack repo. For example, you can do the following to create a diablo OpenStack cloud:
git checkout stable/diablo
./stack.sh
You can also pick specific OpenStack project releases by setting the appropriate *_BRANCH
variables in localrc
(look in stackrc
for the default set). Usually just before a release there will be milestone-proposed branches that need to be tested::
GLANCE_REPO=https://github.com/openstack/glance.git
GLANCE_BRANCH=milestone-proposed
Start A Dev Cloud
Installing in a dedicated disposable vm is safer than installing on your dev machine! To start a dev cloud:
./stack.sh
When the script finishes executing, you should be able to access OpenStack endpoints, like so:
- Horizon: http://myhost/
- Keystone: http://myhost:5000/v2.0/
We also provide an environment file that you can use to interact with your cloud via CLI:
# source openrc file to load your environment with osapi and ec2 creds
. openrc
# list instances
nova list
If the EC2 API is your cup-o-tea, you can create credentials and use euca2ools:
# source eucarc to generate EC2 credentials and set up the environment
. eucarc
# list instances using ec2 api
euca-describe-instances
Customizing
You can override environment variables used in stack.sh
by creating file name localrc
. It is likely that you will need to do this to tweak your networking configuration should you need to access your cloud from a different host.
Database Backend
Multiple database backends are available. The available databases are defined in the lib/databases directory.
mysql
is the default database, choose a different one by putting the following in localrc
:
disable_service mysql
enable_service postgresql
mysql
is the default database.
RPC Backend
Multiple RPC backends are available. Currently, this
includes RabbitMQ (default), Qpid, and ZeroMQ. Your backend of
choice may be selected via the localrc
.
Note that selecting more than one RPC backend will result in a failure.
Example (ZeroMQ):
ENABLED_SERVICES="$ENABLED_SERVICES,-rabbit,-qpid,zeromq"
Example (Qpid):
ENABLED_SERVICES="$ENABLED_SERVICES,-rabbit,-zeromq,qpid"
Swift
Swift is disabled by default. When enabled, it is configured with only one replica to avoid being IO/memory intensive on a small vm. When running with only one replica the account, container and object services will run directly in screen. The others services like replicator, updaters or auditor runs in background.
If you would like to enable Swift you can add this to your localrc
:
enable_service s-proxy s-object s-container s-account
If you want a minimal Swift install with only Swift and Keystone you
can have this instead in your localrc
:
disable_all_services
enable_service key mysql s-proxy s-object s-container s-account
If you only want to do some testing of a real normal swift cluster
with multiple replicas you can do so by customizing the variable
SWIFT_REPLICAS
in your localrc
(usually to 3).
Swift S3
If you are enabling swift3
in ENABLED_SERVICES
devstack will
install the swift3 middleware emulation. Swift will be configured to
act as a S3 endpoint for Keystone so effectively replacing the
nova-objectstore
.
Only Swift proxy server is launched in the screen session all other
services are started in background and managed by swift-init
tool.
Neutron
Basic Setup
In order to enable Neutron a single node setup, you'll need the
following settings in your localrc
:
disable_service n-net
enable_service q-svc
enable_service q-agt
enable_service q-dhcp
enable_service q-l3
enable_service q-meta
enable_service neutron
# Optional, to enable tempest configuration as part of devstack
enable_service tempest
Then run stack.sh
as normal.
devstack supports adding specific Neutron configuration flags to the service, Open vSwitch plugin and LinuxBridge plugin configuration files. To make use of this feature, the following variables are defined and can be configured in your localrc
file:
Variable Name Config File Section Modified
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q_SRV_EXTRA_OPTS Plugin `OVS` (for Open Vswitch) or `LINUX_BRIDGE` (for LinuxBridge)
Q_AGENT_EXTRA_AGENT_OPTS Plugin AGENT
Q_AGENT_EXTRA_SRV_OPTS Plugin `OVS` (for Open Vswitch) or `LINUX_BRIDGE` (for LinuxBridge)
Q_SRV_EXTRA_DEFAULT_OPTS Service DEFAULT
An example of using the variables in your localrc
is below:
Q_AGENT_EXTRA_AGENT_OPTS=(tunnel_type=vxlan vxlan_udp_port=8472)
Q_SRV_EXTRA_OPTS=(tenant_network_type=vxlan)
Tempest
If tempest has been successfully configured, a basic set of smoke tests can be run as follows:
$ cd /opt/stack/tempest
$ nosetests tempest/tests/network/test_network_basic_ops.py
Multi-Node Setup
A more interesting setup involves running multiple compute nodes, with Neutron networks connecting VMs on different compute nodes.
You should run at least one "controller node", which should have a stackrc
that includes at least:
disable_service n-net
enable_service q-svc
enable_service q-agt
enable_service q-dhcp
enable_service q-l3
enable_service q-meta
enable_service neutron
You likely want to change your localrc
to run a scheduler that will balance VMs across hosts:
SCHEDULER=nova.scheduler.simple.SimpleScheduler
You can then run many compute nodes, each of which should have a stackrc
which includes the following, with the IP address of the above controller node:
ENABLED_SERVICES=n-cpu,rabbit,g-api,neutron,q-agt
SERVICE_HOST=[IP of controller node]
MYSQL_HOST=$SERVICE_HOST
RABBIT_HOST=$SERVICE_HOST
Q_HOST=$SERVICE_HOST
MATCHMAKER_REDIS_HOST=$SERVICE_HOST
Cells
Cells is a new scaling option with a full spec at http://wiki.openstack.org/blueprint-nova-compute-cells.
To setup a cells environment add the following to your localrc
:
enable_service n-cell
enable_service n-api-meta
MULTI_HOST=True
# The following have not been tested with cells, they may or may not work.
disable_service n-obj
disable_service cinder
disable_service c-sch
disable_service c-api
disable_service c-vol
disable_service n-xvnc
Be aware that there are some features currently missing in cells, one notable one being security groups.
