Howto setup centos for packstack with (stable) Kilo release
Hi,
I've been trying to wrap my head around openstack and the packstack concept of installation, in my success is quite ...intermittent :-(
I feel its not quite clear which repositories I should install/enable/disable/remove or something similar, depending on if I use fedora 22 or CentOS 7. One note says I NEED epel-repositories, and then I see the command "yum --disable epel-release" flashing past on the screen during packstack install.
But mainly, I'd like to know how I can specifically STAY within a specific release of Openstack, even when reinstalling, once in a while. Using the "rdo-releaserpm" repository always(?) points to the latest versions, and right *now, since liberty rdo/packstack installations fail 100%(cinder volume quota issues), I would like to attempt to back down to kilo, instead of liberty.
So if someone could easily indicate which - IF ANY - additional repositories I should add to a fresh install of CentOS 7 (or fedora 22 if you want, but I was told centos is a safer bet?!?), and how to ensure that I get the kilo release, I would be very thankful. Should I for instance use "--use-epel=y" to enforce those repositories?
I have tried with "https://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/openstack/openstack-kilo/rdo-release-kilo-1.noarch.rpm", but that version consistently seems to fail installation.....
Btw. I am using a snapshotted fedora/centos VM, that I simply revert to its starting position every time I install, and this VM has worked fine for other installations with packstack. Its just that of the 50 or so runs I've dont with packstack, on the same VM...i think I've succeeded about 5...maybe ten times.
TQ
First of, my true goal is to set up a X-split system with controller, 1 neutron, and 2+ compute nodes. I just test --allinone as a startingpoint. My current failure when running packstack is:
ERROR : Error appeared during Puppet run: 172.16.11.103_neutron.pp Error: Could not autoload puppet/provider/vs_port/ovs_redhat_el6: Could not find parent provider ovs_redhat of ovs_redhat_el6.
And this is an error I get quite often in my reinstalls.
