+ Operating System + + Using the CentOS 6.4 x86_64 minimal install ISO, you'll need to install CentOS + on your hardware. The defaults will generally be acceptable for this installation. + + + Once this installation is complete, you'll want to connect to your freshly + installed machine via SSH as the root user.

+ Configuring the network + + By default the network will not come up on your hardware and you + will need to configure it to work in your environment. Since we + specified that there will be no DHCP server in this environment + we will be manually configuring your network interface. We will + assume, for the purposes of this exercise, that eth0 is the only network + interface that will be connected and used. + + + Connecting via the console you should login as root. Check the + file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0, + it will look like this by default: + +DEVICE="eth0" +HWADDR="52:54:00:B9:A6:C0" +NM_CONTROLLED="yes" +ONBOOT="no" + + + + Unfortunately, this configuration will not permit you to connect to the network, + and is also unsuitable for our purposes with CloudStack. We want to + configure that file so that it specifies the IP address, netmask, etc., as shown + in the following example: + + + Hardware Addresses + You should not use the hardware address (aka MAC address) from our example + for your configuration.

+ Hostname + + Cloudstack requires that the hostname be properly set. If you used the default + options in the installation, then your hostname is currently set to + localhost.localdomain. To test this we will run: + # hostname --fqdn + At this point it will likely return: + localhost + To rectify this situation - we'll set the hostname by editing the + /etc/hosts file so that it follows a similar format to this example: +127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4 +::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6 +172.16.10.2 srvr1.cloud.priv + + + After you've modified that file, go ahead and restart the network using: +# service network restart + Now recheck with the hostname --fqdn command and ensure that it returns + a FQDN response +

+ What exactly are we building? + + This runbook will focus on building a CloudStack cloud using KVM with + CentOS 6.4 with NFS storage on a flat layer-2 network utilizing + layer-3 network isolation (aka Security Groups), and doing it all + on a single piece of hardware. + + + KVM, or Kernel-based Virtual Machine is a virtualization technology + for the Linux kernel. KVM supports native virtualization atop + processors with hardware virtualization extensions. + + + Security Groups act as distributed firewalls that control access + to a group of virtual machines. + +

+ High level overview of the process + + Before we actually get to installing CloudStack, we'll start with + installing our base operating system, and then configuring that to act + as an NFS server for several types of storage. We'll install the + management server, download the systemVMs, and finally install the agent + software. Finally we'll spend a good deal of time configuring the entire + cloud in the CloudStack web interface. + +

+ Prerequisites + + To complete this runbook you'll need the following items: + + + + At least one computer which supports hardware virtualization. + + + + + The + + CentOS 6.4 x86_64 minimal install CD + + + + + + A /24 network with the gateway being at xxx.xxx.xxx.1, no DHCP should be on this network and + none of the computers running CloudStack will have a dynamic address. Again this is done for + the sake of simplicity. + + + + +

+ UI Access + + To get access to CloudStack's web interface, merely point your + browser to http://172.16.10.2:8080/client + The default username is 'admin', and the default password is 'password'. + You should see a splash screen that allows you to choose several options + for setting up CloudStack. You should choose the + option. + + + You should now see a prompt requiring you to change the password for + the admin user. Please do so. + +

+ Setting up a Zone + + A zone is the largest organization entity in CloudStack - and we'll be creating one, this + should be the screen that you see in front of you now. And for us there are 5 pieces of + information that we need. + + + Name - we will set this to the ever-descriptive 'Zone1' for our cloud. + + + Public DNS 1 - we will set this to '8.8.8.8' for our cloud. + + + Public DNS 2 - we will set this to '8.8.4.4' for our cloud. + + + Internal DNS1 - we will also set this to '8.8.8.8' for our cloud. + + + Internal DNS2 - we will also set this to '8.8.8.4' for our cloud. + + + + + Notes about DNS settings + + CloudStack distinguishes between internal and public DNS. Internal + DNS is assumed to be capable of resolving internal-only + hostnames, such as your NFS server’s DNS name. Public DNS is + provided to the guest VMs to resolve public IP addresses. You can + enter the same DNS server for both types, but if you do so, you + must make sure that both internal and public IP addresses can + route to the DNS server. In our specific case we will not use any + names for resources internally, and we have indeed them set to look + to the same external resource so as to not add a namerserver setup + to our list of requirements. + + +

+ Pod Configuration + Now that we've added a Zone, the next step that comes up is a prompt + for information regading a pod. Which is looking for 4 items. + + + Name - We'll use Pod1 for our cloud. + + + Gateway - We'll use 172.16.10.1 as our gateway + + + Netmask - We'll use 255.255.255.0 + + + Start/end reserved system IPs - we will use 172.16.10.10-172.16.10.20 + + + Guest gateway - We'll use 172.16.10.1 + + + Guest netmask - We'll use 255.255.255.0 + + + Guest start/end IP - We'll use 172.16.10.30-172.16.10.200 + + + +

+ Cluster + Now that we've added a Zone, we need only add a few more items for configuring the cluster. + + + Name - We'll use Cluster1 + + + Hypervisor - Choose KVM + + + + You should be prompted to add the first host to your cluster at this point.

+ Primary Storage + With your cluster now setup - you should be prompted for primary storage information. Choose NFS as the storage type and then enter the following values in the fields: + + + Name - We'll use 'Primary1' + + + Server - We'll be using the IP address 172.16.10.2 + + + Path - Well define /primary as the path we are using + + + +

+ Secondary Storage + If this is a new zone, you'll be prompted for secondary storage information - populate it as follows: + + + NFS server - We'll use the IP address 172.16.10.2 + + + Path - We'll use /secondary + + + + Now, click Launch and your cloud should begin setup - it may take several minutes depending on your internet connection speed for setup to finalize. +

+ +

+ Installation + Installation of the KVM agent is trivial with just a single command, but afterwards we'll need to configure a few things. + # yum -y install cloud-agent +

+ KVM Configuration + We have two different parts of KVM to configure, libvirt, and QEMU. +

+ QEMU Configuration + + KVM configuration is relatively simple at only a single item. We need to + edit the QEMU VNC configuration. This is done by editing + /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf and ensuring the following + line is present and uncommented. + vnc_listen=0.0.0.0 + +

+ Libvirt Configuration + + CloudStack uses libvirt for managing virtual machines. Therefore it + is vital that libvirt is configured correctly. Libvirt is a dependency + of cloud-agent and should already be installed. + + + + In order to have live migration working libvirt has to listen + for unsecured TCP connections. We also need to turn off libvirts + attempt to use Multicast DNS advertising. Both of these settings + are in /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf + + Set the following paramaters: + listen_tls = 0 + listen_tcp = 1 + tcp_port = "16059" + auth_tcp = "none" + mdns_adv = 0 + + + Turning on "listen_tcp" in libvirtd.conf is not enough, we have to change the parameters as well: + On RHEL or CentOS modify /etc/sysconfig/libvirtd: + Uncomment the following line: + #LIBVIRTD_ARGS="--listen" + On Ubuntu: modify /etc/init/libvirt-bin.conf + Change the following line (at the end of the file): + exec /usr/sbin/libvirtd -d + to (just add -l) + exec /usr/sbin/libvirtd -d -l + + + Restart libvirt + In RHEL or CentOS: + $ service libvirtd restart + In Ubuntu: + $ service libvirt-bin restart + + +

+ KVM configuration complete + + That concludes our installation and configuration of KVM, and we'll now move to using the CloudStack UI + for the actual configuration of our cloud. + +
