Installing Nova

The Nova configuration on the controller node also requires configuring the usual authentication and other service information. Note that this section pertains to Nova endpoint services configuration, not the Compute node itself.

How to Install and Configure Nova

1. Install the Nova package.

   controller# pkg install nova

2. Configure Nova by either uncommenting or setting the parameters in the /etc/nova/nova.conf file:

   [DEFAULT]
   qpid_hostname=$CONTROLLER_ADM_NODE
   rabbit_host=$CONTROLLER_ADM_NODE
   my_ip=$CONTROLLER_ADMIN_NODE_IP
   host=$CONTROLLER_ADMIN_NODE
   firewall_driver=nova.virt.firewall.NoopFirewallDriver
   
   [database]
   connection = mysql://nova:nova@$CONTROLLER_ADM_NODE/nova
   
   [glance]
   host=$CONTROLLER_ADM_NODE
   
   [keystone_authtoken]
   auth_uri=http:/$CONTROLLER_ADM_NODE:5000/v2.0/
   identity_uri=http://$CONTROLLER_ADM_NODE:35357/
   admin_user=nova
   admin_password=service-password
   admin_tenant_name=tenant
   
   [neutron]
   url=http://$CONTROLLER_ADM_NODE:9696
   admin_username=neutron
   admin_password=service-password
   admin_tenant_name=tenant
   admin_auth_url=http://$CONTROLLER_ADM_NODE:5000/v2.0
   

3. Enable the Nova SMF services.

   controller# svcadm enable -rs nova-conductor
   controller# svcadm enable -rs nova-api-osapi-compute \
   nova-cert nova-scheduler
