Install StarlingX OpenStack

These instructions assume that you have completed the following OpenStack-specific configuration tasks that are required by the underlying StarlingX Kubernetes platform:

• All nodes have been labeled appropriately for their OpenStack role(s).

• The vSwitch type has been configured.

• The nova-local volume group has been configured on any node’s host, if running the compute function.

Install application manifest and helm-charts

1. Get the StarlingX OpenStack application (stx-openstack) manifest and helm-charts. This can be from a private StarlingX build or, as shown below, from the public Cengen StarlingX build off master branch:

   wget http://mirror.starlingx.cengn.ca/mirror/starlingx/release/2.0.0/centos/outputs/helm-charts/stx-openstack-1.0-17-centos-stable-latest.tgz
   

2. Load the stx-openstack application’s package into StarlingX. The tarball package contains stx-openstack’s Airship Armada manifest and stx-openstack’s set of helm charts:

   system application-upload stx-openstack-1.0-17-centos-stable-latest.tgz
   

   This will:

   • Load the Armada manifest and helm charts.

   • Internally manage helm chart override values for each chart.

   • Automatically generate system helm chart overrides for each chart based on the current state of the underlying StarlingX Kubernetes platform and the recommended StarlingX configuration of OpenStack services.

3. Apply the stx-openstack application in order to bring StarlingX OpenStack into service.

   system application-apply stx-openstack
   

4. Wait for the activation of stx-openstack to complete.

   This can take 5-10 minutes depending on the performance of your host machine.

   Monitor progress with the command:

   watch -n 5 system application-list
