Chapter 4. Test the deployment

1. Source the credentials to access the overcloud:

   $ source /home/stack/overcloudrc

2. Create an external neutron network to access the instance from outside the overcloud:

   $ openstack network create --external --project service --external  --provider-network-type flat --provider-physical-network datacentre external

3. Create the corresponding neutron subnet for the new external network that you create in the previous step:

   $ openstack subnet create  --project service --no-dhcp --network external --gateway 192.168.37.1 --allocation-pool start=192.168.37.200,end=192.168.37.220 --subnet-range 192.168.37.0/24 external-subnet

4. Download the cirros image that you want to use to create overcloud instances:

   $ wget http://download.cirros-cloud.net/0.3.4/cirros-0.3.4-x86_64-disk.img

5. Upload the cirros image to glance on the overcloud:

   $ openstack image create cirros --public --file ./cirros-0.3.4-x86_64-disk.img --disk-format qcow2 --container-format bare

6. Create a tiny flavor to use for overcloud instances:

   $ openstack flavor create m1.tiny --ram 512 --disk 1 --public

7. Create a VXLAN tenant network to host the instances:

   $ openstack network create net_test --provider-network-type=vxlan --provider-segment 100

8. Create a subnet for the tenant network that you created in the previous step:

   $ openstack subnet create --network net_test --subnet-range 123.123.123.0/24 test

9. Find and store the ID of the tenant network:

   $ net_mgmt_id=$(openstack network list | grep net_test | awk '{print $2}')

10. Create an instance cirros1 and attach it to the net_test network and SSH security group:

    $ openstack server create --flavor m1.tiny --image cirros --nic net-id=$vlan1 --security-group SSH --key-name RDO_KEY --availability-zone nova:overcloud-novacompute-0.localdomain cirros1

11. Create a second instance called cirros2, also attached to the net_test network and SSH security group:

    $ openstack server create --flavor m1.tiny --image cirros --nic net-id=$vlan1 --security-group SSH --key-name RDO_KEY --availability-zone nova:overcloud-novacompute-0.localdomain cirros2

1. Find and store the ID of the admin project:

   $ admin_project_id=$(openstack project list | grep admin | awk '{print $2}')

2. Find and store the default security group of the admin project:

   $ admin_sec_group_id=$(openstack security group list | grep $admin_project_id | awk '{print $2}')

3. Add a rule to the admin default security group to allow ICMP traffic ingress:

   $ openstack security group rule create $admin_sec_group_id --protocol icmp --ingress

4. Add a rule to the admin default security group to allow ICMP traffic egress:

   $ openstack security group rule create $admin_sec_group_id --protocol icmp --egress

5. Add a rule to the admin default security group to allow SSH traffic ingress:

   $ openstack security group rule create $admin_sec_group_id --protocol tcp --dst-port 22 --ingress

6. Add a rule to the admin default security group to allow SSH traffic egress:

   $ openstack security group rule create $admin_sec_group_id --protocol tcp --dst-port 22 --egress

1. From horizon, you should be able to access the novnc console for an instance. Use the password from overcloudrc to log in to horizon as admin. The default credentials for cirros images are username cirros and password cubswin:).

2. From the novnc console, verify that the instance receives a DHCP address:

   $ ip addr show

   Note

   You can also run the command nova console-log <instance id> from the undercloud to verify that the instance receives a DHCP address.

3. Repeat the steps 1 and 2 for all other instances.
4. From one instance, attempt to ping the other instances. This will validate the basic Tenant network connectivity in the overcloud.
5. Verify that you can reach other instances by using a Floating IP.

1. Create a floating IP on the external network to be associated with cirros1 instance:

   $ openstack floating ip create external

2. Create a router to handle NAT between the floating IP and cirros1 tenant IP:

   $ openstack router create test

3. Set the gateway of the router to be the external network:

   $ openstack router set test --external-gateway external

4. Add an interface to the router attached to the tenant network:

   $ openstack router add subnet test test

5. Find and store the floating IP that you create in Step 1:

   $ floating_ip=$(openstack floating ip list | head -n -1 | grep -Eo '[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+')

6. Associate the floating IP with the cirros1 instance:

   $ openstack server add floating ip cirros1 $floating_ip

7. From a node that has external network access, attempt to log in to the instance:

   $ ssh cirros@$floating_ip

Procedure

1. Log in to the undercloud.

2. Enter the following command to start the process:

     $ source /home/stack/stackrc

3. List all instances:

     $ openstack server list

4. Choose the required instance and note the instance IP address in the list.

5. Connect to the machine with the IP address from the list that you obtain in the previous step:

     $ ssh heat-admin@<IP from step 4>

6. Switch to superuser:

     $ sudo -i

Procedure

1. Log in to the overcloud node running OpenDaylight as a superuser, or to an OpenDaylight node running in a custom role.

2. Verify that the OpenDaylight Controller is running on all Controller nodes:

   # docker ps | grep opendaylight
   2363a99d514a        192.168.24.1:8787/rhosp13/openstack-opendaylight:latest         "kolla_start"            4 hours ago         Up 4 hours (healthy)                       opendaylight_api

3. Verify that HAProxy is properly configured to listen on port 8081:

   # docker exec -it haproxy-bundle-docker-0 grep -A7 opendaylight /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg
   listen opendaylight
     bind 172.17.0.10:8081 transparent
     bind 192.168.24.10:8081 transparent
     mode http
     balance source
     server overcloud-controller-0.internalapi.localdomain 172.17.0.22:8081 check fall 5 inter 2000 rise 2
     server overcloud-controller-1.internalapi.localdomain 172.17.0.12:8081 check fall 5 inter 2000 rise 2
     server overcloud-controller-2.internalapi.localdomain 172.17.0.13:8081 check fall 5 inter 2000 rise 2

4. Use HAproxy IP to connect the karaf account. The karaf password is karaf:

   # ssh -p 8101 karaf@localhost

5. List the installed features.

   # feature:list -i | grep odl-netvirt-openstack

   If there is an x in the third column of the list, as generated during the procedure, then the feature is correctly installed.

6. Verify that the API is operational.

     # web:list | grep neutron

   This API endpoint is set in /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf.ini and used by the neutron to communicate with OpenDaylight.

7. Verify that VXLAN tunnels between the nodes are up.

   # vxlan:show

8. To test that the REST API is responding correctly, list the modules that are using it.

   # curl -u "admin:admin" http://localhost:8081/restconf/modules

   The output will be similar (the example has been shortened).

   {"modules":{"module":[{"name":"netty-event-executor","revision":"2013-11-12","namespace":"urn:opendaylight:params:xml:ns:yang:controller:netty:eventexecutor"},{"name" ...

9. List the REST streams that use the host internal_API IP.

   # curl -u "admin:admin" http://localhost:8081/restconf/streams

   You get a similar output:

   {"streams":{}}

10. Run the following command with host internal_API IP to verify that NetVirt is operational:

    # curl -u "admin:admin" http://localhost:8081/restconf/operational/network-topology:network-topology/topology/netvirt:1

    Note the following output to confirm that NetVirt is operational.

    {"topology":[{"topology-id":"netvirt:1"}]}

Procedure

1. Connect to one of the Compute nodes in the overcloud as a superuser.

2. List the Open vSwitch settings.

   # ovs-vsctl show

3. Note multiple Managers in the output. In this example, lines 2 and 3 display multiple Managers.

       6b003705-48fc-4534-855f-344327d36f2a

                   Interface "tap1712898f-15"
           ovs_version: "2.7.0"

4. Verify that the tcp manager points to the IP of the node where OpenDaylight is running.
5. Verify that the Managers show is_connected: true to ensure that connectivity to OpenDaylight from OVS is established and uses the OVSDB protocol.
6. Verify that each bridge (other than br-int) exists and corresponds to the NIC template used for deployment with the Compute role.
7. Verify that the tcp connection corresponds to the IP where the OpenDaylight service is running.
8. Verify that the bridge br-int shows is_connected: true and that an OpenFlow protocol connection to OpenDaylight is established.

1. Connect to a Compute node as a superuser.

2. List the Open vSwitch configuration settings.

   # ovs-vsctl list open_vswitch

3. Read the output. It will be similar to this example.

    _uuid               : 4b624d8f-a7af-4f0f-b56a-b8cfabf7635d

    statistics          : {}
    system_type         : RedHatEnterpriseServer
    system_version      : "7.4-Maipo"

4. Verify that the value of the other_config option has the correct local_ip set for the local interface that connects to the Tenant network through VXLAN tunnels.
5. Verify that the provider_mappings value under the other_config option matches the value in the OpenDaylightProviderMappings heat template parameter. This configuration maps the neutron logical networks to corresponding physical interfaces.

Procedure

1. Connect to the superuser account on one of the Controller role nodes.
2. Ensure that the /etc/neutron/neutron.conf file contains service_plugins=odl-router_v2,trunk.

3. Ensure that the /etc/neutron/plugin.ini file contains the following ml2 configuration:

   [ml2]
   mechanism_drivers=opendaylight_v2
   
   [ml2_odl]
   password=admin
   username=admin
   url=http://192.0.2.9:8081/controller/nb/v2/neutron

4. On one of the overcloud controllers, verify that neutron agents are running properly.

   # openstack network agent list

5. Verify that the admin_state_up value for both the Metadata and DHCP agents are True:

   +--------------------------------------+----------------+--------------------------+-------------------+-------+----------------+------------------------+
   | id                                   | agent_type     | host                     | availability_zone | alive | admin_state_up | binary                 |
   +--------------------------------------+----------------+--------------------------+-------------------+-------+----------------+------------------------+
