Learn how to – Installation of Three node OpenStack Queens Cluster – Part Four.
In our fourth sequel, we are going to install Openstack Nova on the controll node.
Nova is the OpenStack project that provides a way to provision compute instances (aka virtual servers). Nova supports creating virtual machines, baremetal servers (through the use of ironic), and has limited support for system containers. Nova runs as a set of daemons on top of existing Linux servers to provide that service.

Add Nova and placement users to Keystore, make them admin roles and add the various endpoints as shown below
[root@controller ~(keystone)]# openstack user create --domain default --project service --password pepe123 nova
+---------------------+----------------------------------+
| Field | Value |
+---------------------+----------------------------------+
| default_project_id | d13375a7f48b4642abc74ad68d6ffe4b |
| domain_id | default |
| enabled | True |
| id | 419b4fec4c4341a9beda6ef603048dc4 |
| name | nova |
| options | {} |
| password_expires_at | None |
+---------------------+----------------------------------+
Make the role of the nova user as an admin
[root@controller ~(keystone)]# openstack role add --project service --user nova admin
Add placement user
[root@controller ~(keystone)]# openstack user create --domain default --project service --password pepe1234 placement
+---------------------+----------------------------------+
| Field | Value |
+---------------------+----------------------------------+
| default_project_id | d13375a7f48b4642abc74ad68d6ffe4b |

| options | {} |
| password_expires_at | None |
+---------------------+----------------------------------+
Make the role of the placement user as an admin
[root@controller ~(keystone)]# openstack role add --project service --user placement admin
A service entry for nova needs to be added as shown below:
[root@controller ~(keystone)]# openstack service create --name nova --description "Compute service" compute
+-------------+----------------------------------+
| Field | Value |
+-------------+----------------------------------+
| description | Compute service |
| enabled | True |
| id | b4a6bacd6e134df19ab64e5a0ef9bca8 |
| name | nova |
| type | compute |
+-------------+----------------------------------+
Do the same for placement
[root@controller ~(keystone)]# openstack service create --name placement --description "Compute Placement service" placement
+-------------+-------------------------------------+
| Field | Value |
+-------------+-------------------------------------+
| description | Compute Placement service |
| enabled | True |
| id | 4220a2e7b9f147ed9ec171ee2dc99560 |
| name | placement |
| type | placement |
+-------------+-------------------------------------+
[root@controller ~(keystone)]# export controller=192.168.122.130
Add a public entry point for nova
[root@controller ~(keystone)]# openstack endpoint create --region RegionOne compute public http://$controller:8774/v2.1/%(tenant_id)s
+--------------+----------------------------------------------+
| Field | Value |
+--------------+----------------------------------------------+
| enabled | True |
| id | 2f6fd5d7097643cea46927b056e0d5a4 |
| interface | public |
| region | RegionOne |
| region_id | RegionOne |
| service_id | b4a6bacd6e134df19ab64e5a0ef9bca8 |

| service_type | compute |
| url | http://192.168.122.130:8774/v2.1/%(tenant_id)s |
+--------------+----------------------------------------------+
Add an internal entry point for nova
[root@controller ~(keystone)]# openstack endpoint create --region RegionOne compute internal http://$controller:8774/v2.1/%(tenant_id)s
+--------------+----------------------------------------------+

| service_type | compute |
| url | http://192.168.122.130:8774/v2.1/%(tenant_id)s |
+--------------+----------------------------------------------+
Now we repeat the same for placement(public, internal and admin) respectively
[root@controller ~(keystone)]# openstack endpoint create --region RegionOne placement public http://$controller:8778
+--------------+----------------------------------+
| Field | Value |
+--------------+----------------------------------+

| service_name | placement |
| service_type | placement |
| url | http://192.168.122.130:8778 |
+--------------+----------------------------------+
[root@controller ~(keystone)]# openstack endpoint create --region RegionOne placement internal http://$controller:8778
+--------------+----------------------------------+
| Field | Value |
+--------------+----------------------------------+
| enabled | True |
| id | 172452325ff14e97aed310e2004300a0 |
| interface | internal |
| region | RegionOne |
| region_id | RegionOne |
| service_id | 4220a2e7b9f147ed9ec171ee2dc99560 |
| service_name | placement |
| service_type | placement |
| url | http://192.168.122.130:8778 |
+--------------+----------------------------------+
[root@controller ~(keystone)]# openstack endpoint create --region RegionOne placement admin http://$controller:8778
+--------------+----------------------------------+
| Field | Value |
+--------------+----------------------------------+
| enabled | True |
| id | b33013b300964e93b61899bfbbc0723f |
| interface | admin |
| region | RegionOne |
| region_id | RegionOne |
| service_id | 4220a2e7b9f147ed9ec171ee2dc99560 |
| service_name | placement |
| service_type | placement |
| url | http://192.168.122.130:8778 |
+--------------+----------------------------------+
Then as you might guess, we have to add a nova database and nova user like the rest of the services. Let us go on
[root@controller ~(keystone)]# mysql -u root -p
Enter password:

Bye
Phew, let us now install the Nova API services
