Create the OpenStack Control Plane

Reference: See Setion 4.2. Creating the control plane from RHOSP18.0-DP3 deployment guide. Use the Sample configuration file from upstream repository.

In this deployment, the bastion has a preconfigured NFS service that we will be using to store glance images and cinder volumes.
  1. Copy sample controlplane deployment configuration from upstream repository link mentioned above.

    or

    Use ctlplane-deploy.sample file.

  2. Create a copy of sample configuration file.

    cp ctlplane-deploy.sample osp-ng-ctlplane-deploy.yaml
  3. Edit the file with your preferred editor.

    vi osp-ng-ctlplane-deploy.yaml
  4. Change the configuration as per your setup.

    1. Change storageClass from local-storage to ocs-storagecluster-ceph-rbd

    2. Change the metallb.universe.tf/loadBalancerIPs to 172.22.0.89 (this sets external ip for dnsmasq service)

    3. Set the server ip from 192.168.122.1 to 192.168.123.100 (this reflects in /etc/dnsmasq.d/config.cfg file of dnsmasq-dns pod)

    4. Configure nfs cinder volume: Refer step #2 in 9.1.2. Configuring the control plane to use the generic NFS driver

    5. Configure customServiceConfig for glance: Refer step #2 in 9.2.1. Configuring the control plane Image service to use the Block Storage service

    6. As we are not using object storage for this deployment, disable swift by setting enabled: false

    7. You may delete the blocks for barbican and designate if not required.

  5. Finally create the OpenStack control plane

    oc create -f osp-ng-ctlplane-deploy.yaml
  6. Wait until the OpenStack control plane deployment is completed:

    oc get openstackcontrolplane -n openstack
    This can take several minutes.

    To track the progress, you may utilize the following command, which will automatically terminate upon completion of the job.

    while ! (oc get openstackcontrolplane -n openstack -o custom-columns=Name:.metadata.name,Status:.status.conditions[0].message | grep 'Setup complete'); do oc get openstackcontrolplane -n openstack; sleep 30; done
