contrail-installer is a set of scripts and utilities to quickly build, install, configure and deploy OpenContrail. It can be used with pre-build packages (e.g. Launchpad PPA) or from sources. It is typically used in conjunction with devstack.
The contrail-installer master branch generally points to trunk versions of OpenContrail components, whether sources or snapshots. For older, stable versions, use appropriate release name.
Currently contrail-installer supports the following:
mainline sources
OpenContrail packages - snapshots
OpenContrail packages - release 1.2 (currently)
OpenContrail uses localrc to contain all local configuration and customizations.
Best to start with a sample localrc.
cd contrail-installer
cp samples/localrc-all localrc
CONTRAIL_DEFAULT_INSTALL - Set this to True for installation from OpenContrail binary packages. When set to False, trunk OpenContrail bits will be downloaded and compiled. Default is to use OpenContrail binary packages (released version or snapshots).
LAUNCHPAD_BRANCH=PPA - Applicable only when CONTRAIL_DEFAULT_INSTALL is set to True. It specifies to use released binary packages for installation. Default is to use latest snapshots as this knob is commented out by default in sample localrc.
PHYSICAL_INTERFACE - This is external interface Vrouter should bind to. It should have a valid IP address configured. For example eth0
INSTALL_PORFILE - Set this to ALL to for an all in one node.
USE_SCREEN - Set this to True to launch contrail modules in a screen session called "contrail". Connect to screen session for any troubleshooring of contrail modules.
LOGFILE - Specifiy logfile for contrail.sh runs. By default this is log/contrail.log in contrail-installer directory
Contrail.sh is the main script that supports following options:
build ... to build OpenContrail
Install ... to Install OpenContrail
configure ... to Configure & Provision
start ... to Start OpenContrail Modules
stop ... to Stop OpenContrail Modules
Run the following NOT AS ROOT:
cd contrail-installer
cp samples/localrc-all localrc (edit localrc as needed)
./contrail.sh build
./contrail.sh install
./contrail.sh configure
./contrail.sh start
Trunk of contrail-installer currently work with stable/havana, stable/icehouse and trunk of devstack.
git clone git@github.com:openstack-dev/devstack
A glue file is needed in the interim till it is upstreamed to devstack
cp ~/contrail-installer/devstack/lib/neutron_plugins/opencontrail lib/neutron_plugins/
Use a sample localrc:
cp ~/contrail-installer/devstack/samples/localrc-all localrc
Run stack.sh
cd devstack
git checkout stable/havana
(edit localrc as needed - physical interface, host ip ...)
./stack.sh
If you need to restart OpenContrail or Devstack for some reason, currently they need to be synchonized. So
cd ~/devstack
./unstack.sh
cd ~/contrail-installer
./contrail.sh stop
cd ~/contrail-installer
./contrail.sh start
cd ~/devstack
./stack.sh
- screen -x contrail and run through various tabs to see various contrail modules are running
- Run utilities/contrail-status to see if all services are running
