6.16. Customizing Puppet Configuration Data

The Heat template collection contains a set of parameters to pass extra configuration to certain node types. These parameters save the configuration as hieradata for the node's Puppet configuration. These parameters are:
ExtraConfig
Configuration to add to all nodes.
controllerExtraConfig
Configuration to add to all Controller nodes.
NovaComputeExtraConfig
Configuration to add to all Compute nodes.
BlockStorageExtraConfig
Configuration to add to all Block Storage nodes.
ObjectStorageExtraConfig
Configuration to add to all Object Storage nodes
CephStorageExtraConfig
Configuration to add to all Ceph Storage nodes
To add extra configuration to the post-deployment configuration process, create an environment file that contains these parameters in the parameter_defaults section. For example, to increase the reserved memory for Compute hosts to 1024 MB and set the VNC keymap to Japanese:
parameter_defaults:
  NovaComputeExtraConfig:
    nova::compute::reserved_host_memory: 1024
    nova::compute::vnc_keymap: ja
Include this environment file when running openstack overcloud deploy.

Important

You can only define each parameter once. Subsequent usage overrides previous values.
