Install and configure for Red Hat Enterprise Linux and CentOS

This section describes how to install and configure the openstack service for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 and CentOS 7.

Prerequisites

Before you install and configure the openstack service, you must create a database, service credentials, and API endpoints.

  1. To create the database, complete these steps:

    • Use the database access client to connect to the database server as the root user:

      $ mysql -u root -p
      
    • Create the manila-tempest-plugin database:

      CREATE DATABASE manila-tempest-plugin;
      
    • Grant proper access to the manila-tempest-plugin database:

      GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON manila-tempest-plugin.* TO 'manila-tempest-plugin'@'localhost' \
        IDENTIFIED BY 'MANILA-TEMPEST-PLUGIN_DBPASS';
      GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON manila-tempest-plugin.* TO 'manila-tempest-plugin'@'%' \
        IDENTIFIED BY 'MANILA-TEMPEST-PLUGIN_DBPASS';
      

      Replace MANILA-TEMPEST-PLUGIN_DBPASS with a suitable password.

    • Exit the database access client.

      exit;
      
  2. Source the admin credentials to gain access to admin-only CLI commands:

    $ . admin-openrc
    
  3. To create the service credentials, complete these steps:

    • Create the manila-tempest-plugin user:

      $ openstack user create --domain default --password-prompt manila-tempest-plugin
      
    • Add the admin role to the manila-tempest-plugin user:

      $ openstack role add --project service --user manila-tempest-plugin admin
      
    • Create the manila-tempest-plugin service entities:

      $ openstack service create --name manila-tempest-plugin --description "openstack" openstack
      
  4. Create the openstack service API endpoints:

    $ openstack endpoint create --region RegionOne \
      openstack public http://controller:XXXX/vY/%\(tenant_id\)s
    $ openstack endpoint create --region RegionOne \
      openstack internal http://controller:XXXX/vY/%\(tenant_id\)s
    $ openstack endpoint create --region RegionOne \
      openstack admin http://controller:XXXX/vY/%\(tenant_id\)s
    

Install and configure components

  1. Install the packages:

    # yum install
    
  1. Edit the /etc/manila-tempest-plugin/manila-tempest-plugin.conf file and complete the following actions:

    • In the [database] section, configure database access:

      [database]
      ...
      connection = mysql+pymysql://manila-tempest-plugin:MANILA-TEMPEST-PLUGIN_DBPASS@controller/manila-tempest-plugin
      

Finalize installation

Start the openstack services and configure them to start when the system boots:

# systemctl enable openstack-manila-tempest-plugin-api.service

# systemctl start openstack-manila-tempest-plugin-api.service
