| 8 | | This document describes the procedures and context for installing GRAM software. There are these aspects which will be covered individually: |
| 9 | | * Configuration Overview |
| 10 | | * Hardware Requirements |
| 11 | | * Software Requirements |
| 12 | | * Network configuration |
| 13 | | * !OpenStack Installation and Configuration |
| 14 | | * GRAM Installation and Configuration |
| 15 | | |
| 16 | | == Hardware Requirements == |
| 17 | | The minimum requirements are: |
| 18 | | * 1 Control Server |
| 19 | | * 1 Compute Server (Can be more) |
| 20 | | * 1 Switch with at least (number of servers)*3 ports [For non-dataplane traffic] |
| 21 | | * 1 !OpenFlow Switch with at least (number of servers) ports [For dataplane traffic] |
| 22 | | * Each server should have at least 4 Ethernet ports |
| 23 | | == Software Requirements == |
| 24 | | |
| 25 | | |
| 26 | | ==== Ports ==== |
| 27 | | The following ports will be used by GRAM components. Verify that these ports are not already in use. If so, change the configuration of the gram component below to use a different port. |
| 28 | | |
| 29 | | * Controller node |
| 30 | | * 8000: GRAM Clearinghouse (Unless you are using a different clearinghouse). See [wiki:InstallationGuide#ConfigureandStartClearinghouseontheControlNode this section] to change this port. |
| 31 | | * 8001: GRAM Aggregate Manager. See [wiki:InstallationGuide#ConfigureandStartAggregateManager this section] to change this port. |
| 32 | | * 9000: VMOC Default Controller |
| 33 | | * 7001: VMOC Management. See [wiki:InstallationGuide#Setup this section] to change this port. |
| 34 | | * 6633: VMOC |
| 35 | | |
| 36 | | === Openstack Requirements === |
| 37 | | |
| 38 | | * This guide was written for Ubuntu 12.04 |
| 39 | | * All dependencies will be downloaded for the Ubuntu repository. |
| 40 | | |
| 41 | | |
| 42 | | |
| 43 | | ==== Image requirements ==== |
| 44 | | * Currently, nova images must meet the following requirements for GRAM: |
| 45 | | 1. Must have the following packages installed: |
| 46 | | * cloud-utils |
| 47 | | * openssh-server |
| 48 | | * bash |
| 49 | | * apt |
| 50 | | |
| 51 | | |
| 52 | | == Configuration Overview == |
| 53 | | |
| 54 | | !OpenStack and GRAM present software layers on top of rack hardware. It is expected that rack compute nodes are broken into two categories: |
| 55 | | * '''Controller Node''': The central management and coordination point for !OpenStack and Gram operations and services. There is one of these per rack. |
| 56 | | * '''Compute Node''': The resource from which VM's and network connections are sliced and allocated on requrest. There are many of these per rack. |
| 57 | | |
| 58 | | * !OpenStack and GRAM require establishing four distinct networks among the different nodes of the rack: |
| 59 | | * '''Control Network''': The network over which !OpenFlow and GRAM commands flow between control and compute nodes. This network is NOT !OpenFlow controlled and has internal IP addresses for all nodes. |
| 60 | | * '''Data Network''': The allocated network and associated interfaces between created VM's representing the requested compute/network resource topology. This network IS !OpenFlow controlled. |
| 61 | | * '''External Network''': The network connecting the controller node to the external internet. The compute nodes may or may not also have externaly visible addresses on this network, for convenience. |
| 62 | | * '''Management Network''': Enables SSH entry into and between created VM's. This network is NOT !OpenFlow controlled and has internal IP addresses for all nodes. |
| 63 | | |
| 64 | | The mapping of the networks to interfaces is arbitrary and can be changed by the installer. For this document we assume the following convention: |
| 65 | | * eth0: Control network |
| 66 | | * eth1 : Data network |
| 67 | | * eth2 : External network |
| 68 | | * eth3 : Management network |
| 69 | | |
| 70 | | The Controller node will have four interfaces, one for each of the above networks. The Compute nodes will have three (Control, Data and Management) with one (External) optional. |
| 71 | | |
| 72 | | More details on the network configuration are provided in wiki:"ArchitectureDescription". |
| 73 | | |
| 74 | | |
| 75 | | == Network Configuration == |
| 76 | | |
| 77 | | The first step of !OpenStack/Gram configuration is establishing the networks described above. |
| 78 | | |
| 79 | | We need to define a range of VLAN's for the data network (say, 1000-2000) and separate VLANs for the external, control, and management networks (say, 5, 6, and 7) on the management switch. |
| 80 | | The external and control network ports should be configured untagged and the management port should be configured tagged. |
| 81 | | |
| 82 | | The Control, External and Management networks are connected between the rack management switch and ethernet interfaces on the Controller or Compute nodes. |
| 83 | | |
| 84 | | The Data network is connected between the rack !OpenFlow switch and an ethernet interface on the Control and Compute nodes. |
| 85 | | |
| 86 | | |
| 87 | | [[Image(wiki:GENIRacksHome/OpenGENIRacks/InstallationGuideJuno:GRAMSwitchDiag.jpg)]] |
| 88 | | |
| 89 | | === OpenFlow Switch for the Data Network === |
| 90 | | |
| 91 | | The ports on the !OpenFlow switch to which data network interfaces have been connected need to be configured to ''trunk'' the VLANs of the data network. How this is done varies from switch to switch but typical commands look something like |
| 92 | | |
| 93 | | {{{ |
| 94 | | conf t |
| 95 | | vlan <vlanid> |
| 96 | | tagged <ports> |
| 97 | | exit |
| 98 | | exit |
| 99 | | write memory |
| 100 | | }}} |
| 101 | | |
| 102 | | |
| 103 | | On the !OpenFlow switch, for each VLAN used in the data network (1000-2000), set the controller to point to the VMOC running on the control node. The command will vary from switch to switch but this is typical: |
| 104 | | |
| 105 | | {{{ |
| 106 | | conf t |
| 107 | | vlan <vlanid> |
| 108 | | openflow controller tcp:<controller_addr>:6633 enable |
| 109 | | openflow fail-secure on |
| 110 | | exit |
| 111 | | exit |
| 112 | | write memory |
| 113 | | }}} |
| 114 | | |
| 115 | | For the Dell Force 10 switch, The following lines set up the vlan trunking in the data network, and sets up the default openflow controller on the VMOC. |
| 116 | | {{{ |
| 117 | | ! |
| 118 | | interface Vlan 1001 of-instance 1 |
| 119 | | no ip address |
| 120 | | tagged TenGigabitEthernet 0/0-2 |
| 121 | | no shutdown |
| 122 | | ! |
| 123 | | ......... |
| 124 | | ! |
| 125 | | openflow of-instance 1 |
| 126 | | controller 1 128.89.72.112 tcp |
| 127 | | flow-map l2 enable |
| 128 | | flow-map l3 enable |
| 129 | | interface-type vlan |
| 130 | | multiple-fwd-table enable |
| 131 | | no shutdown |
| 132 | | ! |
| 133 | | }}} |
| 134 | | The above snippet assumes that the controller node, running VMOC, is at 128.89.72.112 |
| 135 | | |
| 136 | | For a sample configuration file for the Dell Force10, see attachment:force10-running:wiki:GENIRacksHome/OpenGENIRacks/InstallationGuideGrizzly |
| 137 | | |
| 138 | | === Management Switch ==== |
| 139 | | |
| 140 | | The ports on the management switch to which management network interfaces have been connected need to be configured to ''trunk'' the VLAN of the management network. How this is done varies from switch to switch, but typical commands look something like: |
| 141 | | |
| 142 | | {{{ |
| 143 | | conf t |
| 144 | | int gi0/1/3 |
| 145 | | switchport mode trunk |
| 146 | | switchport trunk native vlan 1 |
| 147 | | switchport trunk allowed vlan add 7 |
| 148 | | no shutdown |
| 149 | | end |
| 150 | | write memory |
| 151 | | }}} |
| 152 | | |
| 153 | | Here is a config file for a Dell Powerconnect 7048: attachment:powerconnect-running:wiki:GENIRacksHome/OpenGENIRacks/InstallationGuideGrizzly. We use VLAN 200, 300 and 2500 for the control plane, management plane and external network respectively. |
| | 7 | Refer to the Online Installation. This document will only talk about what is different if you are trying an installation where you are not connected to the internet. |
| | 8 | It is important that NTP is configured on your rack and that DNS or the host files are functioning on the nodes correctly. |
| 212 | | - Get the DEBIAN files gram_control.deb and gram_compute.deb. These are not available on an apt server currently but can be obtained by request from '''gram-dev@bbn.com'''. |
| 213 | | |
| 214 | | {{{ |
| 215 | | sudo apt-get install -y ubuntu-cloud-keyring --force-yes |
| 216 | | sudo apt-get install gdebi-core |
| 217 | | }}} |
| 218 | | |
| 219 | | - Install the gram package (where <type> is ''control'', ''network'', or ''compute'' depending on what machine type is being installed): |
| 220 | | {{{ |
| 221 | | sudo gdebi gram_<control/network/compute>.deb |
| 222 | | }}} |
| 223 | | |
| 224 | | - '''Edit /etc/gram/config.json'''. ''NOTE: This is the most critical step of the process. This specifies your passwords, network configurations, so that !OpenStack will be configured properly.'' [See section "Configuring config.json" below for details on the variables in that file] |
| 225 | | |
| 226 | | - Place holder to discuss editing l2_simple_learning.py - need different lines for HP vs Dell switch |
| 227 | | |
| 228 | | - Run the GRAM installation script (where <type> is ''control'', ''network'' or ''compute'' depending on what machine type is being installed): |
| 229 | | {{{ |
| 230 | | sudo /etc/gram/install_gram.sh <control/network/compute> |
| 231 | | }}} |
| 232 | | |
| 233 | | - Configure the OS and Network. You will lose network connectivity in the step, it is recommended that the following command is run directly on the machine or using the Linux 'screen' program. |
| 234 | | {{{ |
| 235 | | sudo /tmp/install/install_operating_system_[control/network/compute].sh |
| 236 | | }}} |
| 237 | | |
| 238 | | |
| 239 | | - Configure everything else. Use a ''' root shell ''' |
| 240 | | {{{ |
| 241 | | /tmp/install/install_[control/network/compute].sh |
| 242 | | }}} |
| 243 | | |
| 244 | | This last command will do a number of things: |
| 245 | | - Read in all apt dependencies required |
| 246 | | - Configure the !OpenStack configuration files based on values set in config.json |
| 247 | | - Start all !OpenStack services |
| 248 | | - Start all GRAM services |
| 249 | | |
| 250 | | If something goes wrong (you'll see errors in the output stream), then the scripts it is running are in /tmp/install/install*.sh (install_compute.sh or install_control.sh). You can usually run the commands by hand and get things to work or at least see where things went wrong (often a problem in the configuration file). |
| 251 | | |
| 252 | | 4. - Set up the namespace only on the control node. Use a '''root shell'''. |
| 253 | | 1. Check that sudo ip netns has two entries - the qrouter-* is the important one. |
| 254 | | 1. If qdhcp-* namespace is not there, type sudo quantum-dhcp-agent-restart |
| 255 | | 1. If you still cannot get 2 entries, try restarting all the quantum services: |
| 256 | | * sudo service quantum-server restart |
| 257 | | * sudo service quantum-plugin-openvswitch-agent restart |
| 258 | | * sudo service quantum-dhcp-agent restart |
| 259 | | * sudo service quantum-l3-agent restart |
| 260 | | |
| 261 | | |
| 262 | | On the '''control node ONLY'''. In the root shell, type |
| 263 | | |
| 264 | | {{{ |
| 265 | | export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/opt/gcf/src:/home/gram/gram/src:/home/gram/gram/src/gram/am/gram |
| 266 | | python /home/gram/gram/src/gram/am/gram/set_namespace.py |
| 267 | | }}} |
| 268 | | |
| 269 | | 5. '''Installing OS Images : Only on the Control Node''' |
| 270 | | |
| 271 | | At this point, OS images must be placed in !OpenStack Glance (the image repository service) to support creation of virtual machines. |
| 272 | | |
| 273 | | The choice of images is installation-specific, but these commands are provided as a reasonable example of a first image, a 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04 server in qcow2 format (http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/releases/precise/release/ubuntu-12.04-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1.img) |
| 274 | | |
| 275 | | {{{ |
| 276 | | wget http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/releases/precise/release/ubuntu-12.04-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1.img |
| 277 | | glance image-create --name "ubuntu-12.04" --is-public=true \ |
| 278 | | --disk-format=qcow2 --container-format=bare < \ |
| 279 | | ubuntu-12.04-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1.img |
| 280 | | #Make sure your default_OS_image in /etc/gram/config.json is set to |
| 281 | | # the name of an existing image |
| 282 | | }}} |
| 283 | | |
| 284 | | Another image, a 64-bit Fedora 19 in qcow2 format (http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/19/Images/x86_64/Fedora-x86_64-19-20130627-sda.qcow2) |
| 285 | | |
| 286 | | {{{ |
| 287 | | wget http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/19/Images/x86_64/Fedora-x86_64-19-20130627-sda.qcow2 |
| 288 | | glance image-create --name "fedora-19" --is-public=true \ |
| 289 | | --disk-format=qcow2 --container-format=bare < \ |
| 290 | | Fedora-x86_64-19-20130627-sda.qcow2 |
| 291 | | }}} |
| 292 | | |
| 293 | | Another image, a 64-bit CentOS 6.5 in qcow2 format (http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/19/Images/x86_64/Fedora-x86_64-19-20130627-sda.qcow2) |
| 294 | | |
| 295 | | {{{ |
| 296 | | wget http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/openstack/guest-images/centos-6.5-20140117.0.x86_64.qcow2 |
| 297 | | glance image-create --name "centos-6.5" --is-public=true \ |
| 298 | | --disk-format=qcow2 --container-format=bare < \ |
| 299 | | centos-6.5-20140117.0.x86_64.qcow2 |
| 300 | | }}} |
| 301 | | |
| 302 | | *In the event, these links no longer work, copies of the images have been put on an internal projects directory in the GPO infrastructure. |
| 303 | | 6. '''Edit gcf_config''' |
| 304 | | If using the GENI Portal as the clearinghouse: |
| 305 | | - Copy the cert: |
| 306 | | {{{ |
| 307 | | cp nye-ca-cert.pem /etc/gram/certs/trusted_roots/ |
| 308 | | sudo service gram-am restart |
| 309 | | }}} |
| 310 | | - Instal user certs and configure omni (instructions: http://trac.gpolab.bbn.com/gcf/wiki/OmniConfigure/Automatic ) |
| 311 | | |
| 312 | | |
| 313 | | If using the local gcf clearinghouse, set up gcf_config: |
| 314 | | In ~/.gcf/gcf_config change hostname to be the fully qualified domain name of the control host for the clearinghouse portion and the aggregate manager portion (2x) eg, |
| 315 | | {{{ |
| 316 | | host=boscontroller.gram.gpolab.bbn.com |
| 317 | | }}} |
| 318 | | Change the base_name to reflect the service token (the same service token used in config.json). Use the FQDN of the control for the token. |
| 319 | | {{{ |
| 320 | | base_name=geni//boscontroller.gram.gpolab.bbn.com//gcf |
| 321 | | }}} |
| 322 | | Generate new credentials: |
| 323 | | {{{ |
| 324 | | cd /opt/gcf/src |
| 325 | | ./gen-certs.py --exp -u <username> |
| 326 | | ./gen-certs.py --exp -u <username> --notAll |
| 327 | | }}} |
| 328 | | This has to be done twice as the first creates certificates for the aggregate manager and the clearinghouse. The second creates the username certificates appropriately based on the previous certificates. |
| 329 | | |
| 330 | | Generate public key pair |
| 331 | | {{{ |
| 332 | | ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "gram@bbn.com" |
| 333 | | }}} |
| 334 | | |
| 335 | | Modify ~/.gcf/omni_config to reflect the service token used in config.json: (Currently using FQDN as token) |
| 336 | | {{{ |
| 337 | | authority=geni:boscontroller.gram.gpolab.bbn.com:gcf |
| 338 | | }}} |
| 339 | | Set the ip addresses of the ch and sa to the external IP address of the controler |
| 340 | | {{{ |
| 341 | | ch = https://128.89.91.170:8000 |
| 342 | | sa = https://128.89.91.170:8000 |
| 343 | | or |
| 344 | | ch = https://boscontroller.gram.gpolab.bbn.com:8000 |
| 345 | | sa = https://boscontroller.gram.gpolab.bbn.com:8000 |
| 346 | | |
| 347 | | }}} |
| 348 | | |
| 349 | | |
| 350 | | |
| 351 | | |
| 352 | | |
| 353 | | |
| 354 | | |
| 355 | | === Configuring ''config.json'' === |
| 356 | | |
| 357 | | The config.json file (in /etc/gram) is a JSON file that is parsed |
| 358 | | by GRAM code at configre/install time as well as run time. |
| 359 | | |
| 360 | | JSON is a format for expressing dictionaries of name/value |
| 361 | | pairs where the values can be constants, lists or dictionaries. There are |
| 362 | | no constants, per se, in JSON, but the file as provided has some 'dummy' |
| 363 | | variables (e.g. "000001") against which comments can be added. |
| 364 | | |
| 365 | | The following is a list of all the configuration variables that can |
| 366 | | be set in the config.json JSON file. For some, defaults are provided in the |
| 367 | | code but it is advised that the values of these parameters be explicitly set. |

| 476 | | == Installing Operations Monitoring == |
| 477 | | Monitoring can be installed after testing the initial installation of GRAM. Most supporting infrastructure was installed by |
| 478 | | the steps above. Some steps, however, still need to be done by hand and the instructions can be found here: [wiki:InstallOpsMon Installing Monitoring on GRAM] |
| 479 | | |
| 480 | | |
| 481 | | == Testing GRAM installation == |
| 482 | | This simple rspec can be used to test the gram installation - attachment:2n-1l.rspec |

| 519 | | |
| 520 | | == Turn off Password Authentication on the Control and Compute Nodes |
| 521 | | |
| 522 | | 1. Generate an rsa ssh key pair on the control node for the gram user or use the one previously generated if it exists: i.e. ~gram/.ssh/id_rsa and ~gram/.ssh/id_rsa.pub |
| 523 | | ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "gram@address" |
| 524 | | 2. Generate a dsa ssh key pair on the control node for the gram user or use the one previously generated if it exists: i.e. ~gram/.ssh/id_dsa and ~gram/.ssh/id_dsa.pub. Some components could only deal well with dsa keys and |
| 525 | | so from the control node access to other resources on the rack should be using the dsa key. |
| 526 | | ssh-keygen -t dsa -C "gram@address" |
| 527 | | 3. Copy the public key to the compute nodes, i.e. id_dsa.pub |
| 528 | | 4. On the control and compute nodes, cat id_rsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys |
| 529 | | 5. As sudo, edit /etc/sshd/config and ensure that these entries are set this way: |
| 530 | | RSAAuthentication yes[[BR]] |
| 531 | | !PubkeyAuthentication yes[[BR]] |
| 532 | | !PasswordAuthentication no[[BR]] |
| 533 | | 6. Restart the ssh service, sudo service ssh restart. |
| 534 | | 7. Verify by login in using the key ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_dsa gram@address |
| 535 | | |
| 536 | | == TODO == |
| 537 | | *Need to make link to /opt/gcf in compute nodes |
| 538 | | |
| 539 | | *Make sure that your rabbitMQ IP in /etc/quantum/quantum.conf is set to the controller node: (broken sed in OpenVSwitch.py) |
| 540 | | |
| 541 | | *Service token not set in keystone.conf |
| 542 | | |
| 543 | | *add a step in the installation process that checks the status of the services before we start our installation scripts - check dependencies |
| 544 | | |
| 545 | | *fix installation such as the gcf_config has the proper entry for host in aggregate and clearinghouse portions - also need to check where the port number is actually read from |
| 546 | | for the AM - as it is not the gcf_config |
| 547 | | |
| 548 | | |
| 549 | | == DEBUGGING NOTES == |
| 550 | | * If it gets stuck at provisioning, you may have lost connectivity with one or more compute nodes. Check that network-manager is removed |
| 551 | | |
| 552 | | * If ip addresses are not being assigned and the VMs stall on boot: quantum port-delete 192.168.10.2 (the dhcp agent) and restart quantum-* services |
| 553 | | |
| 554 | | * To create the deb package check the Software Release Page for instructions [wiki:SoftwareReleaseNotes Software Release Procedure] |
