A couple of caveats while setting up devstack on Fedora-18

It took more than a couple of attempts to get a running devstack instance on Fedora-18. I was following danpb’s notes. Here are a few tweaks I had to do get it working:

That’s the localrc file I had, before proceeding ahead:


$ cat localrc 
DESTDIR=$HOME/src/openstack
DATA_DIR=$DESTDIR/data

LOGFILE=$DATA_DIR/logs/stack.log
SCREEN_LOGDIR=$DATA_DIR/logs

# Switch to use QPid instead of RabbitMQ 
disable_service rabbit
enable_service qpid

# Replace with your primary interface name
HOST_IP_IFACE=eth0
PUBLIC_INTERFACE=eth0
VLAN_INTERFACE=eth0
FLAT_INTERFACE=eth0

# Replace with whatever password you wish to use
MYSQL_PASSWORD=testpwd
SERVICE_TOKEN=testpwd
SERVICE_PASSWORD=testpwd
ADMIN_PASSWORD=testpwd

# Pre-populate glance with a minimal image and a Fedora 17 image
IMAGE_URLS="http://launchpad.net/cirros/trunk/0.3.0/+download/cirros-0.3.0-x86_64-uec.tar.gz,http://berrange.fedorapeople.org/images/2012-11-15/f17-x86_64-openstack-sda.qcow2"
$ 

After running stack.sh, you might see some failures — like tgtd service failing to start. The below is what I had in my tgtd.conf and stack.conf.


====
# rpm -q scsi-target-utils
scsi-target-utils-1.0.32-2.fc18.x86_64
====
$ cat /etc/tgt/tgtd.conf 
# The default config file
include /etc/tgt/targets.conf

# Config files from other packages etc.
#include /etc/tgt/conf.d/*.conf

# Explicitly import the stack.conf file
include /etc/tgt/conf.d/stack.conf
====
$ cat /etc/tgt/conf.d/stack.conf 
include /home/tuser1/src/openstack/data/cinder/volumes/*
$
====

And restart tgtd service:


$ systemctl restart tgtd.service  
$ systemctl status tgtd.service

Source the openrc file which will do few things: configure keystone authentication credentials, set up nova’s compute api version, etc:


$ . openrc 
$ 

Let’s list images in Glance:

$ 

Now, list the running nova instances:

 
$ nova list
+--------------------------------------+----------+--------+----------+
| ID                                   | Name     | Status | Networks |
+--------------------------------------+----------+--------+----------+
| 5eaf23b5-3558-4b07-8195-9d24734beced | f17demo1 | ERROR  |          |
+--------------------------------------+----------+--------+----------+
$ 

Oh, it says ERROR, let’s take a look at logs.

NOTE1: Log files to see: screen-n-cpu.log, screen-n-sch.log (located in $HOME/src/openstack/devstack/data/logs).
NOTE2: Use ‘less -r’ to view the above log files, so they’re presented in a readable format. Otherwise all control characters (ESC, Carriage return) are displayed in caret notataion, and it’s unpleasant to look at.

So, I missed to add executable bit to $HOME directory, let’s set it:


$ sudo chmod -R +x /home/tuser1/
$ 

Let’s delete the old instance, boot a flavor (in this case, a tiny one – 512 MB memory), & list the running nova instance, and ensure it’s ACTIVE:

 
#----------#
$ nova delete 5eaf23b5-3558-4b07-8195-9d24734beced                                                                                                                 
$ 
#----------#
$ nova boot --key-name oskey --image f17-x86_64-openstack-sda  --flavor m1.tiny f17demo1
#----------#
$ nova list
+--------------------------------------+----------+--------+------------------+
| ID                                   | Name     | Status | Networks         |
+--------------------------------------+----------+--------+------------------+
| 5710ba30-499e-4c2a-872c-327217e229c6 | f17demo1 | ACTIVE | private=10.0.0.3 |
+--------------------------------------+----------+--------+------------------+
$ 
#----------#

List the running openstack services:

 
$ openstack-status 
== Support services ==
mysqld:                       active (disabled on boot)
libvirtd:                     active
qpidd:                        active
