devstack ocata on ubuntu 16.04 setup

The article below is more like a memo to me about how to fast setup DevStack based private cloud on Ubuntu 16.04. It might take several hours or days solving all kind of issue related to different part of OpenStack and system configuration if start process without good stack knowledge. Or detailed step-by-step notes from previous successful installation. I hope it will save some hours for me next time.

Install Ubuntu 16.04

Create bootable USB drive from ubuntu iso

wget http://ubuntu.volia.net/ubuntu-releases/xenial/ubuntu-16.04.3-server-amd64.iso
dd if=ubuntu-16.04.3-server-amd64.iso of=/dev/sdb

Install server minimum (+ ssh server)

Remove virtualization tools if accidentally chosen

sudo apt-get remove --purge qemu-kvm libvirt-bin ubuntu-vm-builder bridge-utils

Update all components

sudo su -
apt update
apt upgrade

 Disable IPv6

cat <<EOF >>/etc/sysctl.conf
net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter=0
net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter=0
net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
net.ipv4.conf.all.proxy_arp = 1
net.ipv4.conf.all.proxy_arp_pvlan = 1
EOF
sysctl -p
 Switch to static IP
vim /etc/network/interfaces

Restore DevStack instances after unplanned server restart

Backup failed stack data

cp -R /opt/stack/data /storage/openstack/failed-stack

Setup stack (with data lost)

re-install OS might not be needed, sometimes it is enough to run stack again:

su - stack
cd /opt/devstack/
./stack.sh
  • All steps from planed restore. Use available (old, or clear OS) images to re-create virtual machines with the same flavor and disk size.
  • Stop virtual machines.
  • Exchange disks in /opt/stack/data/nova/instances with disks from backup
rm -f /opt/stack/data/nova/instances/_base/*
cp /storage/openstack/failed-stack/data/nova/instances/_base/* /opt/stack/data/nova/instances/_base/
cp -f cp /storage/openstack/failed-stack/data/nova/instances/${OLD_VM_ID}/*  /opt/stack/data/nova/instances/${NEW_VM_ID}/
