Prerequisites

Prerequisites

Before you install and configure the openstack service, you must create a database, service credentials, and API endpoints.

  1. To create the database, complete these steps:

    • Use the database access client to connect to the database server as the root user:

      $ mysql -u root -p
      
    • Create the vmware-nsx-tempest-plugin database:

      CREATE DATABASE vmware-nsx-tempest-plugin;
      
    • Grant proper access to the vmware-nsx-tempest-plugin database:

      GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON vmware-nsx-tempest-plugin.* TO 'vmware-nsx-tempest-plugin'@'localhost' \
        IDENTIFIED BY 'VMWARE-NSX-TEMPEST-PLUGIN_DBPASS';
      GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON vmware-nsx-tempest-plugin.* TO 'vmware-nsx-tempest-plugin'@'%' \
        IDENTIFIED BY 'VMWARE-NSX-TEMPEST-PLUGIN_DBPASS';
      

      Replace VMWARE-NSX-TEMPEST-PLUGIN_DBPASS with a suitable password.

    • Exit the database access client.

      exit;
      
  2. Source the admin credentials to gain access to admin-only CLI commands:

    $ . admin-openrc
    
  3. To create the service credentials, complete these steps:

    • Create the vmware-nsx-tempest-plugin user:

      $ openstack user create --domain default --password-prompt vmware-nsx-tempest-plugin
      
    • Add the admin role to the vmware-nsx-tempest-plugin user:

      $ openstack role add --project service --user vmware-nsx-tempest-plugin admin
      
    • Create the vmware-nsx-tempest-plugin service entities:

      $ openstack service create --name vmware-nsx-tempest-plugin --description "openstack" openstack
      
  4. Create the openstack service API endpoints:

    $ openstack endpoint create --region RegionOne \
      openstack public http://controller:XXXX/vY/%\(tenant_id\)s
    $ openstack endpoint create --region RegionOne \
      openstack internal http://controller:XXXX/vY/%\(tenant_id\)s
    $ openstack endpoint create --region RegionOne \
      openstack admin http://controller:XXXX/vY/%\(tenant_id\)s
