Install [ansible](http://www.ansible.com/) -2. Install [dnsmasq](http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/doc.html) -3. Install [ebtables](http://ebtables.netfilter.org/) -4. Install [qemu and qemu-system-x86](http://wiki.qemu.org/Main_Page) -5. Install [libvirt-python and libvirt](http://libvirt.org/) -6. Install [genisoimage](http://cdrkit.org/) or [mkisofs](http://cdrtools.sourceforge.net/private/cdrecord.html) -7. Enable and start the libvirt daemon, e.g: - - `systemctl enable libvirtd` - - `systemctl start libvirtd` -8. [Grant libvirt access to your user¹](https://libvirt.org/aclpolkit.html) -9. Check that your `$HOME` is accessible to the qemu user² -10. Configure dns resolution on the host³ -11. Install libselinux-python -12. Ensure you have an SSH private and public keypair at `~/.ssh/id_rsa` and `~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub`⁴ - -#### ¹ Depending on your distribution, libvirt access may be denied by default or may require a password at each access. - -You can test it with the following command: - -``` -virsh -c qemu:///system pool-list -``` - -If you have access error messages, please read https://libvirt.org/acl.html and https://libvirt.org/aclpolkit.html . - -In short, if your libvirt has been compiled with Polkit support (ex: Arch, Fedora 21), you can create `/etc/polkit-1/rules.d/50-org.libvirt.unix.manage.rules` as follows to grant full access to libvirt to `$USER` - -``` -sudo /bin/sh -c "cat - > /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/50-org.libvirt.unix.manage.rules" << EOF -polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) { - if (action.id == "org.libvirt.unix.manage" && - subject.user == "$USER") { - return polkit.Result.YES; - polkit.log("action=" + action); - polkit.log("subject=" + subject); - } -}); -EOF -``` - -If your libvirt has not been compiled with Polkit (ex: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS), check the permissions on the libvirt unix socket: - -``` -ls -l /var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock -srwxrwx--- 1 root libvirtd 0 févr. 12 16:03 /var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock - -usermod -a -G libvirtd $USER -# $USER needs to logout/login to have the new group be taken into account -``` - -(Replace `$USER` with your login name) - -#### ² Qemu will run with a specific user. It must have access to the VMs drives - -All the disk drive resources needed by the VMs (Fedora disk image, cloud-init files) are put inside `~/libvirt-storage-pool-openshift/`. - -As we’re using the `qemu:///system` instance of libvirt, qemu will run with a specific `user:group` distinct from your user. It is configured in `/etc/libvirt/qemu.conf`. That qemu user must have access to that libvirt storage pool. - -If your `$HOME` is world readable, everything is fine. If your `$HOME` is private, `ansible` will fail with an error message like: - -``` -error: Cannot access storage file '$HOME/libvirt-storage-pool-openshift/lenaic-master-216d8.qcow2' (as uid:99, gid:78): Permission denied -``` - -In order to fix that issue, you have several possibilities: - * set `libvirt_storage_pool_path` inside `playbooks/libvirt/openshift-cluster/launch.yml` and `playbooks/libvirt/openshift-cluster/terminate.yml` to a directory: - * backed by a filesystem with a lot of free disk space - * writable by your user; - * accessible by the qemu user. - * Grant the qemu user access to the storage pool. - -On Arch or Fedora 22+: - -``` -setfacl -m g:kvm:--x ~ -``` - -#### ³ Enabling DNS resolution to your guest VMs with NetworkManager - -- Verify NetworkManager is configured to use dnsmasq: - -```sh -$ sudo vi /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf -[main] -dns=dnsmasq -``` - -- Configure dnsmasq to use the Virtual Network router for example.com: - -```sh -sudo vi /etc/NetworkManager/dnsmasq.d/libvirt_dnsmasq.conf -server=/example.com/192.168.55.1 -``` - -#### ⁴ Private and public keypair in ~/.ssh/id_rsa and ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub - -This playbook uses SSH keys to communicate with the libvirt-driven virtual machines. At this time the names of those keys are fixed and cannot be changed. - - -Test The Setup --------------- - -1. cd openshift-ansible/ -2. Try to list all instances (Passing an empty string as the cluster_id argument will result in all libvirt instances being listed) - -``` - bin/cluster list libvirt '' -``` - -Configuration -------------- - -The following options can be passed via the `-o` flag of the `create` command or as environment variables: - -* `image_url` (default to `http://cloud.centos.org/centos/7/images/CentOS-7-x86_64-GenericCloud.qcow2.xz`): URL of the QCOW2 image to download -* `image_name` (default to `CentOS-7-x86_64-GenericCloud.qcow2`): Name of the QCOW2 image to boot the VMs on -* `image_compression` (default to `xz`): Source QCOW2 compression (only xz supported at this time) -* `image_sha256` (default to `dd0f5e610e7c5ffacaca35ed7a78a19142a588f4543da77b61c1fb0d74400471`): Expected SHA256 checksum of the downloaded image -* `libvirt_storage_pool` (default to `openshift-ansible`): name of the libvirt storage pool for the VM images. It will be created if it does not exist -* `libvirt_storage_pool_path` (default to `$HOME/libvirt-storage-pool-openshift-ansible`): path to `libvirt_storage_pool`, i.e. where the VM images are stored -* `libvirt_network` (default to `openshift-ansible`): name of the libvirt network that the VMs will use. It will be created if it does not exist -* `libvirt_instance_memory_mib` (default to `1024`): memory of the VMs in MiB -* `libvirt_instance_vcpu` (default to `2`): number of vCPUs of the VMs -* `skip_image_download` (default to `no`): Skip QCOW2 image download. This requires the `image_name` QCOW2 image to be already present in `$HOME/libvirt-storage-pool-openshift-ansible` - -Creating a cluster ------------------- - -1. To create a cluster with one master and two nodes - -``` - bin/cluster create libvirt lenaic -``` - -Updating a cluster ------------------- - -1. To update the cluster - -``` - bin/cluster update libvirt lenaic -``` - -Terminating a cluster ---------------------- - -1. To terminate the cluster - -``` - bin/cluster terminate libvirt lenaic -``` -- cgit v1.2.1
