OpenStack Heat for SDC

Uses: sdcadmin (https://github.com/icclab/sdcadmin) package

Step 1 - Create KVM-VM for OpenStack Services

Create a KVM-VM with the following Parameters:

• Owner: admin (the owner of the admin network)
• 4GB Ram, 2 CPU, 2000 LWPs, 40 GB Disk (create a Package if necessary)
• centos-7 Image (20141202, b1df4936-7a5c-11e4-98ed-dfe1fa3a813a)
• Primary NIC to network with internet-access (Public)
• Secondary NIC to admin network

Step 2 - Installing Packstack

SSH as root into the machine once provisioned. Make sure networking is working (in my setup the default gateway was missing), then run:

yum update -y
yum install -y https://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/openstack/openstack-kilo/rdo-release-kilo-1.noarch.rpm
yum install -y openstack-packstack

Step 3 - Install OpenStack Components

Generate a new answer file:

packstack --gen-answer-file=/root/packstack-answers

Modify the following lines:

CONFIG_GLANCE_INSTALL=n
CONFIG_CINDER_INSTALL=n
CONFIG_NOVA_INSTALL=n
CONFIG_NEUTRON_INSTALL=n
CONFIG_HORIZON_INSTALL=n
CONFIG_SWIFT_INSTALL=n
CONFIG_CEILOMETER_INSTALL=n
CONFIG_HEAT_INSTALL=y
CONFIG_NAGIOS_INSTALL=n
CONFIG_CINDER_VOLUMES_CREATE=n
CONFIG_PROVISION_DEMO=n

Run packstack with the modified file:

packstack --answer-file=/root/packstack-answers

This may take a while, consider having a coffee ;-)

Step 4 - Verify OpenStack Components

Source the Creds file at /root/keystonerc_admin and run a couple of keystone and heat commands:

$ keystone user-list
$ heat stack-list

Step 5 - Install sdcadmin library & Heat plugin

Install sdcadmin package:

pip install sdcadmin

Copy the heat plugin to /usr/lib/heat

mkdir -p /usr/lib/heat
cp PATH/TO/sdc_plugin.py /usr/lib/heat/sdc_plugin.py

Let Heat know where to look for plugins by uncommenting the plugin_dirs line in /etc/heat/heat.conf

Then restart the heat engine service:

service openstack-heat-engine restart

Run heat resource-type-list, verify that SDC::Compute::KVM and SDC::Compute::SmartMachine show up.

Step 6

Setup is complete, you now can start stacks with those resources. Example heat-templates are included in this repo.
