Installing the Openstack Plugin - Adaptive Plugins - BlueCat Gateway

Download the Openstack Train plugin from BlueCat Customer Care.

On the OpenStack Train controller node, run the following command to unzip the BlueCat OpenStack Plugin package:

# unzip AdaptivePlugin_OpenStack_train_20.6.1.zip

Install the package by running the following commands:

# cd bluecat-openstack-drivers

# python setup.py install

# python train_install.py

The Installer will prompt for required post-installation configuration. Upon completion of train_install.py, the installer will auto-generate content for two of the main config files on the controller that require updates.

# [setup] Enter the IP Address of your BlueCat Address Manager: x.x.x.x   ….. done
# [setup] Enter the API username to access BlueCat Address Manager: xxx  …. done
# [setup] Enter the password to access BlueCat Address Manager: xxxxxx   … done
# [setup] Enter a Configuration Name that will represent OpenStack on your BlueCat Address Manager: openstack … done
# [setup] Enter the IPv4 public Block that will be used for OpenStack compute instances: 10.0.0.0/8 …. done
# [setup] Enter the DNS zone that will be used for OpenStack compute instances: bluecat.lab  ..done

Run the following command to restart Neutron and Nova services on the controller.

# systemctl restart neutron-server.service
# systemctl restart openstack-nova-api.service openstack-nova-scheduler.service openstack-nova-conductor.service 
openstack-nova-novncproxy.service

Run the monitoring services from the installed directory. You can see the install directory by running ‘pip show bluecatopenstack’.

#  python /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/bluecatopenstack/bluecat_neutron_monitor.py &
#  python /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/bluecatopenstack/bluecat_nova_monitor.py &
