Topic
Updated Packstack packages which resolve various issues are now available
for Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 5.0 (Icehouse) for RHEL 7.
Description
Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform provides the facilities for
building a private or public infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) cloud
running on commonly available physical hardware. This advisory includes
packages for:
- Installation service ("Packstack").
PackStack is a command-line utility for deploying OpenStack on existing
servers over an SSH connection. Deployment options are provided either
interactively, using the command line, or non-interactively by means of a
text file containing a set of preconfigured values for OpenStack
parameters.
PackStack is suitable for deploying the following types of configurations:
- Single-node proof-of-concept installations, where all controller services
and your virtual machines run on a single physical host. This is referred
to as an all-in-one install.
- Proof-of-concept installations, where there is a single controller node
and multiple compute nodes. This is similar to the all-in-one install
above, except you may use one or more additional hardware nodes for running
virtual machines.
This update fixes the following bugs:
- Previously, PackStack required password authentication even when the
root user was running an all-in-one installation. With this release, the
root user is no longer required to authenticate for all-in-one
installations.
- PackStack was provisioning Tempest with demo objects even if the flag
CONFIG_PROVISION_DEMO was disabled. This fix makes these flags independent.
Now you can install Tempest in a standalone mode or with the provisioning
user of your choice.
This fix adds two new config options:
- CONFIG_PROVISION_TEMPEST_USER (blank by default)
- CONFIG_PROVISION_TEMPEST_USER_PW
1) If CONFIG_PROVISION_TEMPEST is enabled and CONFIG_PROVISION_TEMPEST_USER
stays blank, PackStack will provision Tempest in a standalone mode.
2) If CONFIG_PROVISION_TEMPEST_USER is set with a user, PackStack will
provision tempest with this user. Note that you always will be able to use
the demo user for provisioning tempest. In this case, if
CONFIG_PROVISION_DEMO is enabled, PackStack will use the demo password from
CONFIG_KEYSTONE_DEMO_PW. If CONFIG_PROVISION_DEMO is not enabled, it will
use CONFIG_PROVISION_TEMPEST_USER_PW.
These packages also fix various bugs found in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux
OpenStack Platform 4 release.
