The OSA installation process recommends at least five target
hosts that will contain the OpenStack environment and supporting
infrastructure. On each target host, perform the following tasks:

-  Naming target hosts.

-  Install the operating system.

-  Generate and set up security measures.

-  Update the operating system and install additional software packages.

-  Create LVM volume groups.

-  Configure networking devices.
