Setup OpenStack with Virtuozzo 7

This howto describes steps by step installation of OpenStack with Virtuozzo 7.

Execute the following commands within you Virtuozzo 7 host as root:

Install RDO repo:

$ yum install -y https://rdoproject.org/repos/rdo-release.rpm

Install EPEL repo:

$ yum install -y http://fedora-mirror01.rbc.ru/pub/epel//epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm

Install required packages:

$ yum install -y git patch redhat-lsb-core euca2ools mysql-connector-python scsi-target-utils

Reinstall http and mod_wsgi:

$ yum remove -y httpd httpd-tools mod_wsgi
$ yum install -y httpd

Enable IP connection tracking for CT0:

$ echo -ne "options nf_conntrack ip_conntrack_disable_ve0=0\n" > /etc/modprobe.d/vz.conf
$ echo -ne "options nf_conntrack ip_conntrack_disable_ve0=0\n" > /etc/modprobe.d/parallels.conf
$ echo 0 > /sys/module/nf_conntrack/parameters/ip_conntrack_disable_ve0

Create user "stack" and add him to sudoers:

$ adduser stack -d /vz/stack
$ echo "stack ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL" >> /etc/sudoers

Download and unpack container image:

$ su stack -c "cd ~ && wget http://updates.pvs.parallels.com/server/virtuozzo/en_us/odin/7/techpreview/centos7-exe.hds.tar.gz"
$ su stack -c "cd ~ && tar -xzvf centos7-exe.hds.tar.gz"

Clone devstack:

$ su stack -c "cd ~ && git clone git://git.openstack.org/openstack-dev/devstack"

Create local.conf file:

$ cat > ~stack/devstack/local.conf << _EOF
localrc
FORCE=yes
HOST_IP=1.1.1.1
MYSQL_PASSWORD=password
SERVICE_TOKEN=password
SERVICE_PASSWORD=password

_EOF

Change HOST_IP within created ~stack/devstack/local.conf to a valid IP address of your Virtuozzo 7 host. Change password for OpenStack services to whatever you prefer in ~stack/devstack/local.conf. Make libvirt daemon accessible via socket for stack user:

$ sed -i s/"#unix_sock_group = \"libvirt\""/"unix_sock_group = \"stack\""/ /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf
$ sed -i s/"#unix_sock_ro_perms = \"0777\""/"unix_sock_ro_perms = \"0777\""/ /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf
$ sed -i s/"#unix_sock_rw_perms = \"0770\""/"unix_sock_rw_perms = \"0770\""/ /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf
$ sed -i s/"#unix_sock_dir = \"\/var\/run\/libvirt\""/"unix_sock_dir = \"\/var\/run\/libvirt\""/ /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf
$ sed -i s/"#auth_unix_ro = \"none\""/"auth_unix_ro = \"none\""/ /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf
$ sed -i s/"#auth_unix_rw = \"none\""/"auth_unix_rw = \"none\""/ /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf

Clone nova repository:

$ su stack -c "cd ~ && git clone git://git.openstack.org/openstack/nova"

Make libvirt 1.2.8 be minimum required version to run with Virtuozzo:

$ sed -i -e "s/MIN_LIBVIRT_PARALLELS_VERSION = (1, 2, 12)/MIN_LIBVIRT_PARALLELS_VERSION = (1, 2, 8)/"  ~stack/nova/nova/virt/libvirt/driver.py

Start devstack:

$ su stack -c "~/stack.sh"

After script finishes, setup your iptables rules to allow incoming http trafic if you want to use OpenStack dashboard. For instance:

$ iptables -D INPUT -j REJECT
$ iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport http -j ACCEPT
$ iptables -A INPUT -j REJECT

Here you are!
