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))
/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:
- https://docs.openstack.org/ocata/install-guide-ubuntu/nova-compute-install.html
- https://docs.openstack.org/ocata/install-guide-ubuntu/neutron-compute-install.html
sudo apt install nova-compute neutron-linuxbridge-agent
Now configure:
/etc/nova/nova.conf
[DEFAULT] state_path=/var/lib/nova enabled_apis=osapi_compute,metadata transport_url=rabbit://$USER:$PASS@rabbit.cloud.csclub.uwaterloo.ca auth_strategy=keystone my_ip=172.19.168.XX use_neutron=true firewall_driver=nova.virt.firewall.NoopFirewallDriver default_availability_zone = csc-mc compute_monitors = cpu.virt_driver,numa_mem_bw.virt_driver [oslo_concurrency] lock_path=/var/lock/nova [database] connection=mysql+pymysql://$USER:$PASS@db.cloud.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/nova_api [libvirt] use_virtio_for_bridges=True inject_password=true live_migration_flag = VIR_MIGRATE_UNDEFINE_SOURCE,VIR_MIGRATE_PEER2PEER,VIR_MIGRATE_LIVE,VIR_MIGRATE_TUNNELLED block_migration_flag = VIR_MIGRATE_UNDEFINE_SOURCE, VIR_MIGRATE_PEER2PEER, VIR_MIGRATE_LIVE, VIR_MIGRATE_TUNNELLED, VIR_MIGRATE_NON_SHARED_INC cpu_mode = custom cpu_model = Broadwell [keystone_authtoken] auth_uri = https://auth.cloud.csclub.uwaterloo.ca auth_url = https://admin.cloud.csclub.uwaterloo.ca memcached_servers = memcache1.cloud.csclub.uwaterloo.ca:11211 auth_type = password project_domain_name = default user_domain_name = default project_name = service username = $USER password = $PASS [vnc] enabled = true vncserver_listen = 0.0.0.0 vncserver_proxyclient_address = $my_ip novncproxy_base_url = https://console.cloud.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/vnc_auto.html [glance] api_servers = https://image.cloud.csclub.uwaterloo.ca [neutron] url = https://network.cloud.csclub.uwaterloo.ca auth_url = https://admin.cloud.csclub.uwaterloo.ca auth_type = password project_domain_name = Default user_domain_name = Default project_name = service region_name = csc-mc username = $USER password = $PASS [placement] os_region_name = csc-mc project_domain_name = Default project_name = service auth_type = password user_domain_name = Default auth_url = https://admin.cloud.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/v3 username = $USER password = $PASS

Then:
sudo systemctl restart nova-compute neutron-linuxbridge-agent
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
