RHOSP18 - Provision Control Plane Services and Manage Data Plane Nodes

Welcome to this quick course on Provision Control Plane Services and Manage Data Plane Nodes in RHOSP18.

Red Hat OpenStack Services on OpenShift (RHOSO) is the next generation of Red Hat OpenStack Platform. Click here for more information.

This course provides step-by-step instructions for deploying a Red Hat OpenStack Platform 18 cluster.

The course includes a hands-on lab with a pre-deployed Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform (RHOCP) cluster. You will deploy Red Hat OpenStack control plane services on top of the RHOCP cluster. Additionally, this training covers the steps to provision a pre-deployed compute node that acts as the data plane of your RHOSP deployment. You will attach the pre-deployed compute node to the RHOSP18 control plane running on the OCP cluster.

  • Leave all other options at default and click on Order button at bottom of the page.

The catalog may take approximately 2 hours to get provisioned.

  • On Demo Platform home page, click on Services option on left pane.

  • Make sure the Status for your lab is displayed as Running

  • Under the Name column, click on the link for your lab to see the lab access information.

  • You should get important details about the lab access on your lab environment page, on Info tab.

  • Login to the public IP of Host for your lab as lab-user with SSH password mentioned on Info page.

  • On the hypervisor host, swtich from lab-user to root using sudo -i command.

  • From root@hypervisor session run ssh root@192.168.123.100 for login to bastion host using ssh key.

  • Use bastion VM to proceed with the hands-on activity for the lab.
