How to Install an Oracle VM Server for SPARC OpenStack Compute Node

1. Obtain and download the packages.

   See Obtaining the Oracle VM Server for SPARC OpenStack Compute Node Software.

2. Install the packages.

   # pkg install -g openstack-ldoms-nova-1.0.p5p nova-ldoms
   # pkg install -g ovs-dlm-3.4.x-bxxxx.p5p dlm

3. Create the installation configuration file based on the sample file.

   # cp /opt/openstack-ldoms/etc/setup.conf.example /var/tmp/setup.conf

4. Modify the setup.conf configuration file.

   At a minimum, specify values for the CONTROLLER_IP, NOVA_SERVICE_PASSWORD, and NEUTRON_SERVICE_PASSWORD properties. Validate that the remaining default values set by the other properties are appropriate for your environment before you proceed.

   • LDOMS_VSW_NET=NIC specifies the NIC for the primary virtual switch, primary-vsw0. For example, the value might be net0.

   • LDOMS_HOST_IP=`ipadm|grep ${LDOMS_VSW_NET}/v4|awk '{print $5}'|cut -f1 -d/` specifies the IP address that is used for communications with the OpenStack cloud controller.

   • LDOMS_HOSTNAME=`hostname` specifies the host name of the system.

   • CONTROLLER_IP=IP-address specifies the IP address of the OpenStack cloud controller that runs Keystone, Neutron, Cinder, and the Nova conductor and scheduler services.

   • NOVA_SERVICE_PASSWORD=services-password specifies the services password for the central cloud controller. Note that this password must match the Nova administrative service account as configured in Keystone.

   • NEUTRON_SERVICE_PASSWORD=services-password specifies the services password for the central cloud controller. Note that this password must match the Neutron administrative service account as configured in Keystone.

   • ZVOL_LOCATION=ZVOL-location specifies the local ZFS dataset to be used for virtual machines (when using ZFS volume support). The default value is rpool/vm_disks.

   • DLM_NFS_SERVER=IP-address optionally specifies the IP address of the NFS server for DLM if DLM is to be used. The NFS server must be NFSv4 and have delegation=off. To disable DLM, set this property to an empty value.

   • DLM_NFS_SHARE=share-name specifies the NFS share on the NFS server that is used for DLM.

   • CDOM_CORES=num-of-cores specifies the number of cores that are allocated to the control domain. The default value is 1.

   • CDOM_RAM=amount-of-RAM specifies the amount of RAM in gigabytes that are allocated to the control domain. The default value is 16.

5. Run the setup.sh installer script.

   # /opt/openstack-ldoms/bin/setup.sh /var/tmp/setup.conf

6. (Optional) Enable enable Fibre Channel multipathing.

   # stmsboot -D fp -e

7. Reboot the system.

   # shutdown -i6 -g0 -y
