Packer could be run from docker image, you will need to create following alias:
-alias packer='docker run -it -v "$PWD":/root/project -w /root/project hashicorp/packer:light $@'
-
+alias packer='docker run -it --env OS_CLOUD=$OS_CLOUD -v "$PWD":/root/project -w /root/project hashicorp/packer:light $@'
+and make sure the OS_CLOUD variable is set to the correct cloud: in the clouds.yaml example above, you would first
+export OS_CLOUD=overcloud
There are 2 files: centos.json and deploycentostools.sh, allowing you to create
an image automatically. Run
# packer build centos.json
-Edit centos.json to reflect the settings of your environment: The following fields need to
-be the ID's of your system:
+Edit centos.json to reflect the settings of your environment: The following fields need to populated
+with the values of your system:
- "source_image_name": Needs to be the name of the Centos cloud image
- "flavor": Needs to be the ID or name of the flavor existing in your OpenStack environment that will be used
to start the VM in which we will install all tools
- - "networks": ID of the network that will be used for the VM
- - "use_floating_ip": true or false
- - "floating_ip_network": ID of the floating ip network in case floating ip are being used
+ - "network_discovery_cidrs": Should contain the CIDR of the network you want to use e.g. "10.6.6.0/24"
+ - "floating_ip_network": ID or name of the floating ip network in case floating ip are being used
- "security_groups": ID or name of the security group being used
Refer to Packer docs for more details:
Note that this procedure is not only installing the necessary tools to run PROX,
but also does some system optimizations (tuned). Check deploycentostools.sh for more details.
-Now you can run the createrapid.py file. Use help for more info on the usage:
- # ./createrapid.py --help
-
-createrapid.py will use the OpenStack CLI to create the flavor, key-pair, network, image,
-servers, ...
-It will create a <STACK>.env file containing all info that will be used by runrapid.py
-to actually run the tests. Logging can be found in the CREATE<STACK>.log file
-You can use floating IP addresses by specifying the floating IP network
---floating_network NETWORK
-or directly connect through the INTERNAL_NETWORK by using the following parameter:
---floating_network NO
-/etc/resolv.conf will contain DNS info from the "best" interface. Since we are
-deploying VMs with multiple interface on different networks, this info might be
-taken from the "wrong" network (e.g. the dataplane network).
+Now you need to create a stack, that will deploy the PROX VMs using the PROX
+image built in the previous step. The stack needs to have an ouput section
+with the following outputs:
+outputs:
+ number_of_servers:
+ value:
+ - <NUMBER_OF_SERVERS> # A list of <NUMBER_OF_SERVERS>
+ server_name:
+ value:
+ - - <SERVER_NAME> # A list containing a list of <SERVER_NAME>
+ data_plane_ips:
+ value:
+ - - <DATA_PLANE_IPS> # A list containing a list of <DATA_PLANE_IPS>
+ data_plane_macs:
+ value:
+ - - <DATA_PLANE_MACS> # A list containing a list of <DATA_PLANE_MACS>
+ mngmt_ips:
+ value:
+ - - <MNGMT_IP> # A list containing a list of <MNGMT_IP>
+where
+ * <NUMBER_OF_SERVERS> is an int
+ * <SERVER_NAME> is a string
+ * <DATA_PLANE_IPS> is a list of strings
+ * <DATA_PLANE_MACS> is a list of strings
+ * <MNGMT_IP> is a string
+
+createrapid.py will take the input from config_file, to create an ssh keypair
+and stack (if not already existing). The tool will use the yaml files as
+specified in the config_file and create a <STACK>.env file, containing
+input used for runrapid.py.
Now you can run the runrapid.py file. Use help for more info on the usage:
# ./runrapid.py --help
openstack port create --network fast-network --vnic-type direct --fixed-ip subnet=fast-subnet Port1
openstack port create --network fast-network --vnic-type direct --fixed-ip subnet=fast-subnet Port2
openstack port create --network fast-network --vnic-type direct --fixed-ip subnet=fast-subnet Port3
-Make sure to use the network and subnet in the createrapid parameters list. Port1, Port2 and Port3
-are being used in the *.env file.
Note when doing tests using the gateway functionality on OVS:
When a GW VM is sending packets on behalf of another VM (e.g. the generator), we need to make sure the OVS
An example of the env file generated by createrapid.py can be found below.
Note that this file can be created manually in case the stack is created in a
-different way (not using the createrapid.py). This can be useful in case you are
-not using OpenStack as a VIM or when using special configurations that cannot be
-achieved using createrapid.py. Fields needed for runrapid are:
+different way than what is described in this text. This can be useful in case
+you are not using OpenStack as a VIM or when using special configurations that

* all info in the [Mx] sections

* the total_number_of_vms information in the [rapid] section
