Multi-node OpenStack folsom installation notes (on ubuntu using puppet Openstack modules). Most of this was culled from the following article: Openstack Folsom Deploy by Puppet on Ubuntu 12.04 HOWTO

Please note also: in order for the puppet manifests to work all host names must be fully qualified (use .e.g. .local for a FQDN).

The machines we'll be using are as follows:

• puppet master: pm at 172.24.0.10 (not part of the resulting cloud)
• OpenStack controller node: osc at 172.24.0.11
• OpenStack compute node #1: oscn1 at 172.24.0.12
• OpenStack compute node #2: oscn2 at 172.24.0.13

• install ubuntu 12.04 LTS server
• add the puppetlabs repo

   wget http://apt.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs-release-precise.deb
   sudo dpkg -i puppetlabs-release-precise.deb
   sudo apt-get update
   

• install puppetmaster and git

   sudo apt-get install puppetmaster git
   

• install puppetlabs-openstack

   git clone https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-openstack
   (cd puppetlabs-openstack/ && git checkout folsom)
   sudo cp -r puppetlabs-openstack /etc/puppet/modules/openstack
   (cd puppetlabs-openstack && sudo rake modules:clone)
   

• give the puppet master machine a fixed IP i.e. include the following stanza in /etc/network/interfaces:

   auto eth1
   iface eth1 inet static
     address 172.24.0.10
     netmask 255.255.255.0
     network 172.24.0.0
     broadcast 172.24.0.255
     gateway 172.24.0.1
     dns-nameservers 172.24.0.1
  

• add the OpenStack controller and compute nodes to /etc/hosts

  172.24.0.11  osc.FQDN osc
  172.24.0.12  oscn1.FQDN oscn1
  172.24.0.13  oscn2.FQDN oscn2
  

• copy the the example site manifest into place

  sudo cp /etc/puppet/modules/openstack/examples/site.pp /etc/puppet/manifests/
  

• apply this patch

• install ubuntu 12.04 LTS server
• the /etc/network/interfaces file should look as follows:

   auto lo
   iface lo inet loopback
   auto eth0
   iface eth0 inet static
     address 172.24.0.11
     netmask 255.255.255.0
     network 172.24.0.0
     broadcast 172.24.0.255
     gateway 172.24.0.1
     dns-nameservers 172.24.0.1
   auto eth1
   iface eth1 inet manual
     up ifconfig eth1 up
   

• add the puppetmaster machine to /etc/hosts like so

  127.0.0.1  osc.FQDN osc
  172.24.0.10  pm.FQDN pm
  

• name the openstack_controller machine in /etc/hostname like so

  osc.FQDN
  

• add the puppetlabs repo

   wget http://apt.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs-release-precise.deb
   sudo dpkg -i puppetlabs-release-precise.deb
   sudo apt-get update
   

• install puppet

   sudo apt-get install puppet
   

• configure the puppet agent as follows (in /etc/puppet/puppet.conf)

  [agent]
  server=pm.FQDN
  certname=openstack_controller
  

• add the ubuntu/folsom repository:

  cat >> /etc/apt/sources.list <<-EOF
  deb http://ubuntu-cloud.archive.canonical.com/ubuntu precise-updates/folsom main
  EOF
  aptitude install -y ubuntu-cloud-keyring
  aptitude update
  

• invoke the puppet agent

  sudo puppet agent -vt
  

• switch to a terminal on the puppet master machine and sign the agent's certificate

  sudo puppet cert list
  sudo puppet cert sign osc.FQDN
  

  The step above is only necessary after the very first puppet agent call on the controller node.
• re-run the puppet agent

  sudo puppet agent -vt
  

• install ubuntu 12.04 LTS server
• the /etc/network/interfaces file should look as follows:

   auto lo
   iface lo inet loopback
   auto eth0
   iface eth0 inet static
     address 172.24.0.12
     netmask 255.255.255.0
     network 172.24.0.0
     broadcast 172.24.0.255
     gateway 172.24.0.1
     dns-nameservers 172.24.0.1
   auto eth1
   iface eth1 inet manual
     up ifconfig eth1 up
   

• add the puppetmaster machine to /etc/hosts like so

  127.0.0.1  oscn1.FQDN oscn1
  172.24.0.10  pm.FQDN pm
  

• name the openstack_compute machine in /etc/hostname like so

  oscn1.FQDN
  

• add the puppetlabs repo

   wget http://apt.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs-release-precise.deb
   sudo dpkg -i puppetlabs-release-precise.deb
   sudo apt-get update
   

• install puppet

   sudo apt-get install puppet
   

• configure the puppet agent as follows (in /etc/puppet/puppet.conf)

  [agent]
  server=pm.FQDN
  # omit certname, machine name will be assumed automatically
  

• add the ubuntu/folsom repository:

  cat >> /etc/apt/sources.list <<-EOF
  deb http://ubuntu-cloud.archive.canonical.com/ubuntu precise-updates/folsom main
  EOF
  aptitude install -y ubuntu-cloud-keyring
  aptitude update
  

• invoke the puppet agent

  sudo puppet agent -vt
  

• switch to a terminal on the puppet master machine and sign the agent's certificate

  sudo puppet cert list
  sudo puppet cert sign oscn1.FQDN
  

  The step above is only necessary after the very first puppet agent call on the compute node.
• re-run the puppet agent

  sudo puppet agent -vt
  

Repeat the openstack_compute setup for the second worker machine (oscn2) with the appropriate IP (172.24.0.13).

In order to be able to start intances on the newly installed cloud we'll need an image. Please add it by running the following commands on the controller node:

   sudo su -
   source openrc
   wget http://uec-images.ubuntu.com/precise/current/precise-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1.img
   glance image-create --name ubuntu.12.04.server --disk-format=qcow2 --container-format=bare --file precise-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1.img
   

Please see this page for a list of images.
