Edit the undercloud.conf file, located in the stack user’s home directory. By default, enable_tempest is set to false. Change this to true.

enable_tempest = true

You are now ready to install the tempest packages and plug-ins, described in Section 3.3, “Installing the OpenStack Integration Test Suite Packages”.

To run the OpenStack Integration Test Suite, you need to first install the necessary packages and create a configuration file that will tell the Integration Test Suite where to find the various OpenStack services and other testing behaviour switches.

On the controller node, as a root user, create a virtual machine called tempest. This machine must run Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3 or greater. It also needs to be able to reach the cloud, but it does not have to be part of the cloud. For more information, see Creating Guests with Virt-Manager.

Also, before installing the OpenStack Integration Test Suite, the following networks are required within your Red Hat OpenStack Platform environment:

These networks must be connected through a router.

Create the private network:

$ openstack network create <network_name> --share
$ openstack subnet create <subnet_name> --subnet-range <address/prefix>
$ openstack router create <router_name>
$ openstack router add subnet <router_name> <subnet_name>

Create the public network:

$ openstack network create <network_name> --external \
  --provider-network-type flat
$ openstack subnet create <subnet_name> --subnet-range <address/prefix> \
  --gateway <default_gateway> --no-dhcp --network <network_name>
$ openstack router set <router_name> --external_gateway <public_network_name>

You are now ready to install and configure the OpenStack Integration Test Suite within the tempest virtual machine. For more information, see Section 3.3, “Installing the OpenStack Integration Test Suite Packages”.
