Chapter 3. Installing the OpenStack Integration Test Suite

Edit the undercloud.conf file, located in the home directory of the stack user. Ensure that the enable_tempest parameter is set to true:

enable_tempest = true

If your undercloud is already installed, you can edit the undercloud.conf file and then run the openstack undercloud install command to include the extra configuration in the undercloud:

$ openstack undercloud upgrade

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

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

To install the OpenStack Integration Test Suite, the following networks must be available within your Red Hat OpenStack Platform environment:

These networks must be connected through a router.

Create the private network. Specify the following options according to your network deployment:

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

Create the public network. Specify the following options according to your network deployment:

$ 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”.
