Configuring the Compute Node

You install VM instances in the Compute node as well as the nova-compute daemon. The VM instances provide a wide range of services such as web applications and analytics. You can configure as many Compute nodes as necessary for your cloud.

To configure the Compute node, install the OpenStack components and services on the system with the following command:

compute# pkg install openstack

After the package installation is completed, configure the services that you want to run on the node.


Note - To better manage memory use between ZFS and applications in Oracle Solaris 11, set the usr_reserve_hint_pct parameter on the node, as shown in the following example:
# echo "set user_reserve_hint_pct=80" >>/etc/system.d/site:kernel-zones-reserve
# reboot

where site is a random identifier such as the name of your company.

Set this parameter on the different OpenStack nodes as well.
