# install from RDO, EPEL

[root@dlp ~]#

yum --enablerepo=openstack-icehouse,epel -y install openstack-nova

[2]	Configure Nova

# set database ( set any password you like for "password" section )

[root@dlp ~]#

openstack-db --init --service nova --password password

Please enter the password for the 'root' MySQL user:

chgrp nova /etc/nova/nova.conf

[3]	Configure Networking. The follows is for the case you use legacy nova-network function. But if you use Neutron Networking function, Refer to here to configure it. Anyway, legacy nova-network function is officially not recommended.

[root@dlp ~]#

vi /etc/nova/nova.conf

# add follows in [DEFAULT] section

network_driver=nova.network.linux_net
libvirt_vif_driver=nova.virt.libvirt.vif.LibvirtGenericVIFDriver

network_size=254
allow_same_net_traffic=False
multi_host=True
send_arp_for_ha=True
share_dhcp_address=True
force_dhcp_release=True

# specify nic for public

public_interface=eth0

# specify any name you like for bridge

flat_network_bridge=br100

# specify nic for flat DHCP bridge

flat_interface=lo

[4]	Start Nova Service. If you don't use legacy nova-network, exclude the word "network" below. If you separate Compute Nodes, exclude the word "compute" below, too.

[root@dlp ~]#

/etc/rc.d/init.d/openstack-nova-$service start
chkconfig openstack-nova-$service on
done
