Cloud: Compute Node Setup: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 20:58, 29 December 2021

UPDATE: this page is deprecated, as it is for the old cloud which used OpenStack. We are now using CloudStack instead.

Machine setup

Disk configuration

A block device with lost of disk space (to be mounted at /var/lib/nova/instances)

Networking configuration

Do not register the IPv6 address in DNS. This may cause issues with OpenStack services.

We will be using 2 interfaces on the machine:

1gbps for management (VLAN 529 (CSC Cloud Management))
10gbps for VMs (VLAN 134 (MSO), 425 (CSC Cloud))

Fix ebtables

update-alternatives --config ebtables

and choose "ebtables-legacy". This is necessary to work around missing features in ebtables-nft.

`/etc/sysctl.d/10-ipv6.conf`

# Disable autoconf
net.ipv6.conf.all.autoconf=0
net.ipv6.conf.default.autoconf=0

# Stop accepting router advertisments
net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_ra=0                                                                       
net.ipv6.conf.default.accept_ra=0

# Do not use temporary addresses
net.ipv6.conf.all.use_tempaddr=0                                                                    
net.ipv6.conf.default.use_tempaddr=0

`/etc/network/interfaces`

Configure the switch port with VLAN 529 as the untagged VLAN, and VLANs 134 and 425 as the tagged VLANs.

Compute service

Prerequisites

debian.csclub APT repository configured

Installation

Configure virtualization

sudo apt install qemu qemu-kvm libvirt-bin bridge-utils

Install Nova Compute

Based on the official OpenStack document:

sudo apt install nova-compute neutron-linuxbridge-agent

Now configure:

`/etc/nova/nova.conf`

Then:

Add mapping

On controller1.cloud:

. ~/cloud-admin
su -s /bin/sh -c "nova-manage cell_v2 discover_hosts --verbose" nova

Setup migration

Add SSH keys for root and nova on each compute node
Change nova user shell to /bin/sh
Enable --listen flag for Libvirt (/etc/default/libvirtd)
Enable listen_tcp and auth_mode_tcp = none in /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf
