Quickstart: OpenNebula on Ubuntu 14.04 and KVM¶
The purpose of this guide is to provide users with step by step guide to install OpenNebula using Ubuntu 14.04 as the operating system and KVM as the hypervisor.
After following this guide, users will have a working OpenNebula with graphical interface (Sunstone), at least one hypervisor (host) and a running virtual machines. This is useful at the time of setting up pilot clouds, to quickly test new features and as base deployment to build a large informationsºstructure.
Throughout the installation there are two separate roles: Frontend and Nodes. The Frontend server will execute the OpenNebula services, and the Nodes will be used to execute virtual machines. Please not that it is possible to follow this guide with just one host combining both the Frontend and Nodes roles in a single server. However it is recommended execute virtual machines in hosts with virtualization extensions. To test if your host supports virtualization extensions, please run:
If you don’t get any output you probably don’t have virtualization extensions supported/enabled in your server.
Package Layout
- opennebula-common: Provides the user and common files
- libopennebula-ruby: All ruby libraries
- opennebula-node: Prepares a node as an opennebula-node
- opennebula-sunstone: OpenNebula Sunstone Web Interface
- opennebula-tools: Command Line interface
- opennebula-gate: Gate server that enables communication between VMs and OpenNebula
- opennebula-flow: Manages services and elasticity
- opennebula: OpenNebula Daemon
Step 1. Installation in the Frontend
Warning
Commands prefixed by
#
are meant to be run as root
. Commands prefixed by $
must be run as oneadmin
.1.1. Install the repo
Add the OpenNebula repository:
1.2. Install the required packages
1.3. Configure and Start the services
There are two main processes that must be started, the main OpenNebula daemon:
oned
, and the graphical user interface: sunstone
.Sunstone
listens only in the loopback interface by default for security reasons. To change it edit /etc/one/sunstone-server.conf
and change :host: 127.0.0.1
to :host: 0.0.0.0
.
Now we must restart the Sunstone:
1.4. Configure NFS
Warning
Skip this section if you are using a single server for both the frontend and worker node roles.
Export
/var/lib/one/
from the frontend to the worker nodes. To do so add the following to the /etc/exports
file in the frontend:
Refresh the NFS exports by doing:
1.5. Configure SSH Public Key
OpenNebula will need to SSH passwordlessly from any node (including the frontend) to any other node.
To do so run the following commands:
Add the following snippet to
~/.ssh/config
so it doesn’t prompt to add the keys to the known_hosts
file:Step 2. Installation in the Nodes
2.1. Install the repo
Add the OpenNebula repository:
2.2. Install the required packages
2.3. Configure the Network
Warning
Backup all the files that are modified in this section before making changes to them.
You will need to have your main interface, typically
eth0
, connected to a bridge. The name of the bridge should be the same in all nodes.
If you were using DHCP for your
eth0
interface, replace /etc/network/interfaces
with:
If you were using a static IP addresses instead, use this other template:
After these changes, restart the network:
2.4. Configure NFS
Warning
Skip this section if you are using a single server for both the frontend and worker node roles.
Mount the datastores export. Add the following to your
/etc/fstab
:
Warning
Replace
192.168.1.1
with the IP of the frontend.
Mount the NFS share:
If the above command fails or hangs, it could be a firewall issue.
2.5. Configure Qemu
The
oneadmin
user must be able to manage libvirt as root:
Restart libvirt to capture these changes:
Step 3. Basic Usage
Warning
All the operations in this section can be done using Sunstone instead of the command line. Point your browser to:
http://frontend:9869
.
The default password for the
oneadmin
user can be found in ~/.one/one_auth
which is randomly generated on every installation.
To interact with OpenNebula, you have to do it from the
oneadmin
account in the frontend. We will assume all the following commands are performed from that account. To login as oneadmin
execute su - oneadmin
.3.1. Adding a Host
To start running VMs, you should first register a worker node for OpenNebula.
Issue this command for each one of your nodes. Replace
localhost
with your node’s hostname.
Run
onehost list
until it’s set to on. If it fails you probably have something wrong in your ssh configuration. Take a look at /var/log/one/oned.log
.3.2. Adding virtual resources
Once it’s working you need to create a network, an image and a virtual machine template.
To create networks, we need to create first a network template file
mynetwork.one
that contains:
Warning
Replace the leases with free IPs in your host’s network. You can add any number of leases.
Now we can move ahead and create the resources in OpenNebula:
You will need to wait until the image is ready to be used. Monitor its state by running
oneimage list
.
In order to dynamically add ssh keys to Virtual Machines we must add our ssh key to the user template, by editing the user template:
Add a new line like the following to the template:
Substitute the value above with the output of
cat ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub
.3.3. Running a Virtual Machine
To run a Virtual Machine, you will need to instantiate a template:
Execute
onevm list
and watch the virtual machine going from PENDING to PROLOG to RUNNING. If the vm fails, check the reason in the log: /var/log/one/<VM_ID>/vm.log
