The director generates a script to configure and help authenticate interactions with your Overcloud from the director host. The director saves this file (overcloudrc) in your stack user’s home directory. Run the following command to use this file:

$ source ~/overcloudrc

This loads the necessary environment variables to interact with your Overcloud from the director host’s CLI. To return to interacting with the director’s host, run the following command:

$ source ~/stackrc

After completing the Overcloud creation, we recommend that you check the status of the Ceph Storage Cluster to ensure it is working properly. To do this, log into a Controller node as the heat-admin user:

$ nova list
$ ssh heat-admin@192.168.0.25

Check the health of the cluster:

$ sudo ceph health

If the cluster has no issues, the command reports back HEALTH_OK. This means the cluster is safe to use.

Check the status of the Ceph Monitor quorum:

$ sudo ceph quorum_status

This shows the monitors participating in the quorum and which one is the leader.

Check if all Ceph OSDs are running:

$ ceph osd stat
