In our quest to install OpenStack, we run into this thingy 

# keystone user-list
Expecting authentication method via 
  either a service token, –token or env[SERVICE_TOKEN], 
  or credentials, –os-username or env[OS_USERNAME].
#

 

The solution for this is rather lengthy where we run into another set of error(s) before we can proceed:

# pip install -r requirements.txt
bash: pip: command not found
#

First we need to install pip (Python pip is required for the keystone installation): 

# man easy_install 
No manual entry for easy_install
# easy_install pip

Once done, we'll be following the Keystone installations found on the OpenStack page.  When running sudo pip install -r requirements.txt we ran into this:

ImportError: No module named d2to1.core

We installed django using:

yum install django

which resulted in these modules being braught in:

  Installing : 1:python-sqlite2-2.3.5-2.el6.x86_64                  1/3

  Installing : python-django-1.2.3-2.el6.rf.noarch                   3/3

Which resulted in

After rerunning pip install -r requirements.txt. Unfortunately this failed to bring in some binaries:

# which keystone keystone-all keystone-manage
/usr/bin/keystone
/usr/bin/which: no keystone-all in (/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin)
/usr/bin/which: no keystone-manage in (/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin)

and upon further inspection, we see that:

We have a bunch of errors from the installer.  Looks like we may need to install python-dev (or more precisely python-devel.x86_64). So here we go:

yum install python-devel.x86_64

Following that, we retry to run the pip install -r requirements.txt command again but get this instead:

Cleaning up…
# 

However after a few trial and errors:

# pip –upgrade -r requirements.txt

Usage:   
  pip <command> [options]

no such option: –upgrade
# pip upgrade -r requirements.txt
ERROR: unknown command "upgrade"
# pip upgrade 
ERROR: unknown command "upgrade"
# pip –upgrade 

Usage:   
  pip <command> [options]

no such option: –upgrade
# which pip
/usr/bin/pip
# vi $(which pip)
# 
# vi $(which pip)
# pip –upgrade -r requirements.txt

Usage:   
  pip <command> [options]

no such option: –upgrade
#

We run the following:

# pip install -r requirements.txt –upgrade

Which results in:

ERROR: /bin/sh: xslt-config: command not found
    ** make sure the development packages of libxml2 and libxslt are installed **

Naturally, we follow this with:

yum install libxml2-devel.x86_64 libxslt-devel.x86_64

And we repeat the pip upgrade command above.  However, the result was the same and the following were missing:

# which keystone keystone-all keystone-manage
/usr/bin/keystone
/usr/bin/which: no keystone-all in (/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin)
/usr/bin/which: no keystone-manage in (/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin)
#

So we yum'med it instead:

yum install openstack-keystone.noarch python-keystone.noarch python-keystoneclient.noarch openstack-keystone-doc.noarch

And that gives us:

# which keystone keystone-all keystone-manage
/usr/bin/keystone
/usr/bin/keystone-all
/usr/bin/keystone-manage
# 

# ls -al /etc/keystone/|grep -Ei "keystone.conf|keystone-paste.ini|logging.conf|policy.json|default_catalog.templates"

# 

All we need.  Next we return to the OpenStack page to continue but this time we'll just follow the Fedora 17 instructions for our Scientific Linux 6.3 install. Having said taht, we'll migrate otuselves over to the Fedora OpenStack Installation page and yum the thing into installation.  Unfortunately, when running the yum lines specified:

# yum install openstack-utils openstack-nova openstack-glance openstack-keystone   openstack-swift openstack-dashboard openstack-swift-proxy openstack-swift-account   openstack-swift-container openstack-swift-object

 

We get thousands of lines like this:

  file /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/django/utils/tree.py from install of Django14-1.4.5-1.el6.noarch conflicts with file from package python-django-1.2.3-2.el6.rf.noarch
  file /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/django/utils/tree.pyc from install of Django14-1.4.5-1.el6.noarch conflicts with file from package python-django-1.2.3-2.el6.rf.noarch

Which means we need to rollback django.

# rpm -e python-django-1.2.3-2.el6.rf.noarch

Which is fine.  (Django get's reinstalled as part of the yum line.) We rerun the yum line above.  (Don't forget the latest stable repository repo):

cd /etc/yum.repo.d/; curl http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/openstack/openstack-folsom/fedora-openstack-folsom.repo -o /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-openstack-grizzly.repo

A few messages pop up we need to pay attention too:

No package rubygem-openstack available.
No package rubygem-openstack-compute available.

No package appliance-tools available.
No package appliance-tools-minimizer available.
No package rubygem-boxgrinder-build available.

No package openstack-tempo available.

But let's continue.  (STB FLW: These might be just helper packages and not part of the core.)  On to the next command:

openstack-db –service nova –init

If you forgot your MySQL password, see here.  Unfortunately, things don't go according to plan:

# sudo openstack-db –service nova –init

#

Trying again without the sudo prefix command yields the same results.  However, we try to remove the offending file first then dropping the database and rerunning the above init line:

# ls -al /var/log/nova/nova-manage.log
-rw-r–r–. 1 root root 0 Jun  9 23:06 /var/log/nova/nova-manage.log
# rm /var/log/nova/nova-manage.log

# /usr/bin/openstack-db –drop –service nova
Please enter the password for the 'root' MySQL user:

# 

This time running openstack-db –service nova –init yielded the desired results.

# openstack-db –service nova –init
Please enter the password for the 'root' MySQL user: 
Verified connectivity to MySQL.
Creating 'nova' database.
Initializing the nova database, please wait…
Complete!
# 

The above issue was likely due to the service or installation as root but it should have been owned by the nova user: 

# ls -al /var/log/nova/nova-manage.log
-rw-r–r–. 1 nova nova 0 Jun  9 23:45 /var/log/nova/nova-manage.log
#

so a change of user on the file would be sufficient as well.  And so on to the next step:

# nova-manage db sync
# 

Which went the best so far.  

# openstack-db –service glance –init
Please enter the password for the 'root' MySQL user: 
Verified connectivity to MySQL.
Creating 'glance' database.
Initializing the glance database, please wait…
Complete!
#

Followed by openstack-db –service cinder –init which had the same successful results as above.  Next we try to run:

# systemctl start qpidd.service && sudo systemctl enable qpidd.service
bash: systemctl: command not found
# 

But after a quick yum search systemctl we realize we need the following:

novacom.x86_64 : Utility to connect to WebOS devices
novacom-server.x86_64 : Service for utility that connects to WebOS devices

After a quick yum install the above two, we try again but with same results.  Looks like we need to replace some things with chkconfig instead.  Looks like there was a recent migration to systemctl of which RHEL isn't a part of yet.  So we just ensure it's enabled and started:

# systemctl start qpidd.service && systemctl enable qpidd.service^C
# chkconfig qpidd.service
# chkconfig |grep qpidd.service
# chkconfig |grep qpidd
qpidd              0:off    1:off    2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off
#

And the same for the libvirtd service.

# chkconfig –level 2345 libvirtd on
# chkconfig|grep libvirtd
libvirtd           0:off    1:off    2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off
# 

Since this is RHEL Clone, instead of running systemctl, we need to do this:

# chkconfig|grep -Ei "api|registry"
openstack-cinder-api    0:off    1:off    2:off    3:off    4:off    5:off    6:off
openstack-glance-api    0:off    1:off    2:off    3:off    4:off    5:off    6:off
openstack-glance-registry    0:off    1:off    2:off    3:off    4:off    5:off    6:off
openstack-nova-api    0:off    1:off    2:off    3:off    4:off    5:off    6:off
openstack-nova-metadata-api    0:off    1:off    2:off    3:off    4:off    5:off    6:off
# 
# 
# for SVC in $(chkconfig|grep -Ei "api|registry"|awk '{ print $1; }' ); do chkconfig –level 2345 $SVC on; done
# chkconfig|grep -Ei "api|registry"
openstack-cinder-api    0:off    1:off    2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off
openstack-glance-api    0:off    1:off    2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off
openstack-glance-registry    0:off    1:off    2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off
openstack-nova-api    0:off    1:off    2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off
openstack-nova-metadata-api    0:off    1:off    2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off
# 

which does the trick.  On to creating the Cinder and Nova volumes:

# man truncate
# truncate –size=20G /var/lib/cinder/cinder-volumes.img
# ls -al /var/lib/cinder/cinder-volumes.img

#

Start nova volumes service if applicable because it was deprecated in Folsom so it didn't get added under Grizzley.  So none existed for us.  We therefore check to see if one is availble using yum, however though we find out, it it looking for openstack-nova-volume-2012.2.3-1.el6.noarch which is outdated (we have 2013).  Hence the deprecation.  So we continue with the Fedora Installation for our RHEL environment.

TO BE CONTINUED….
