Here we are going to deploy openstack on a single node, i.e all openstack components Nova, Glance, Keystone, Quantum and Horizon will be running in the same box. Nova-compute is also running on the same machine which will provision virtual machines on the KVM.

Requirements:

• Ubuntu 12.04 running on Oracle VirtualBox with two NIC ‘s.

• Setup a ubuntu virtual machine in virtualBox. (can follow Guide http://ilearnstack.wordpress.com/2013/04/13/setting-ubuntu-vm-in-virtualbox/)

• Add a second NIC to the VM.

• Power Off the Virtual Machine

• In the Network Section select Adapter 2 tab

• Select “Attached to:” to internal

• When the VM boots up configure to network for second NIC Edit /etc/network/interfaces to something like

• Restart Network service service networking restart

• You can verify your network setting using “ ifconfig ”

• Login to the ubuntu VM.

• Change the user to root. sudo -i

• If your network is behind proxy then please export proxy variables. export http_proxy= export https_proxy= export no_proxy=”localhost,127.0.0.1″

• Install git on the machine apt-get install git -y

• Clone the CloudGear git to install Openstack git clone https://github.com/ilearnstack/cloudgear.git

• Execute the script to set up openstack cd cloudgear/ python cloudgear.py
