Fix rabbitmq playbook to allow upgrades
The rabbitmq playbook is designed to run in parallel across the cluster.
This causes an issue when upgrading rabbitmq to a new major or minor
version because RabbitMQ does not support doing an online migration of
datasets between major versions. while a minor release can be upgrade
while online it is recommended to bring down the cluster to do any
upgrade actions. The current configuration takes no account of this.

Reference:
https://www.rabbitmq.com/clustering.html#upgrading for further details.

* A new variable has been added called `rabbitmq_upgrade`. This is set to
  false by default to prevent a new version being installed unintentionally.
  To run the upgrade, which will shutdown the cluster, the variable can be
  set to true on the commandline:

  Example:
    openstack-ansible -e rabbitmq_upgrade=true \
    rabbitmq-install.yml

* A new variable has been added called `rabbitmq_ignore_version_state`
  which can be set "true" to ignore the package and version state tasks.
  This has been provided to allow a deployer to rerun the plays in an
  environment where the playbooks have been upgraded and the default
  version of rabbitmq has changed within the role and the deployer has
  elected to upgraded the installation at that time. This will ensure a
  deployer is able to recluster an environment as needed without
  effecting the package state.

  Example:
    openstack-ansible -e rabbitmq_ignore_version_state=true \
    rabbitmq-install.yml

* A new variable has been added `rabbitmq_primary_cluster_node` which
  allows a deployer to elect / set the primary cluster node in an
  environment. This variable is used to determine the restart order
  of RabbitMQ nodes. IE this will be the last node down and first one
  up in an environment. By default this variable is set to:
  rabbitmq_primary_cluster_node: "{{ groups['rabbitmq_all'][0] }}"

scripts/run-upgrade.sh has been modified to pass 'rabbitmq_upgrade=true'
on the command line so that RabbitMQ can be upgraded as part of the
upgrade between OpenStack versions.

Playbooks

There are several playbooks within that will setup hosts for use in OpenStack Cloud. The playbooks will enable LXC on hosts and provides the ability to deploy LXC containers for use within openstack.

Plays:
  • setup-hosts.yml Performs host setup for use with LXC in the OpenStack hosts.
  • setup-infrastructure.yml Performs all of the setup for all infrastructure components.
  • setup-openstack.yml Performs all of the setup for all of the OpenStack components.
  • If you dont want to run plays individually you can simply run setup-everything.yml which will perform all of the setup and installation for you.
Basic Setup:
  1. If you have any roles that you'd like to have pulled in that are outside the scope and or replace modules within this repository please add them to the ansible-role-requirements.yml file. In this file you will want to fill in the details for the role you want to pull in using standard ansible galaxy format.
- name: SuperAwesomeModule
  src: https://github.com/super-user/SuperAwesomeModule
  version: master
  1. Run the ./scripts/bootstrap-ansible.sh script, which will install, pip, ansible 1.9.x, all of the required python packages, and bring in any third part ansible roles that you may want to add to the deployment.
  2. Copy the etc/openstack_deploy directory to /etc/openstack_deploy.
  3. Fill in your openstack_deploy/openstack_user_config.yml, openstack_deploy/user_secrets.yml and openstack_deploy/user_variables.yml files which you've just copied to your /etc/ directory.
  4. Generate all of your random passwords executing scripts/pw-token-gen.py --file /etc/openstack_deploy/user_secrets.yml.
  5. Accomplish all of the host networking that you want to use within the deployment. See the etc/network directory in this repository for an example network setup.
  6. When ready change to the playbooks/ directory and execute your desired plays. IE:
openstack-ansible setup-everything.yml

Notes

  • If you run the ./scripts/bootstrap-ansible.sh script a wrapper script will be added to your system that wraps the ansible-playbook command to simplify the arguments required to run openstack ansible plays. The name of the wrapper script is openstack-ansible.
  • The lxc network is created within the lxcbr0 interface. This supports both NAT networks as well as more traditional networking. If NAT is enabled (default) the IPtables rules will be created along with the interface as a post-up processes. If you ever need to recreate the rules and or restart the dnsmask process you can bounce the interface IE: ifdown lxcb0; ifup lxcbr0 or you can use the lxc-system-manage command.
  • The tool lxc-system-manage is available on all lxc hosts and can assist in recreating parts of the LXC system whenever its needed.
  • Inventory is generated by executing the playbooks/inventory/dynamic_inventory.py script. This is configured in the playbooks/ansible.cfg file.
  • If you don't use the pw-token-gen.py script you will want to ensure the permissions on /etc/openstack_deploy/user_secrets.yml are more secure. chmod 0600 /etc/openstack_deploy/user_secrets.yml
