1. Copper configuration

This release includes installer support for the OpenStack Congress service under JOID and Apex installers. Congress is installed by default for all JOID and Apex scenarios. Support for other OPNFV installer deployed environments is planned for the next release.

1.1. Pre-configuration activities

None required.

1.2. Hardware configuration

There is no specific hardware configuration required for the Copper project.

1.3. Feature configuration

1.3.1. OPNFV installer support

The Congress service is automatically configured as required by the JOID and Apex installers, including creation of datasources per the installed datasource drivers. This release includes default support for the following datasource drivers:

  • nova
  • neutronv2
  • ceilometer
  • cinder
  • glancev2
  • keystone

For JOID, Congress is installed through a JuJu Charm, and for Apex through a Puppet Module. Both the Charm and Module are being upstreamed to OpenStack for future maintenance.

Other project installer support (e.g. Doctor) may install additional datasource drivers once Congress is installed.

1.3.2. Manual installation

NOTE: This section describes a manual install procedure that had been tested under the JOID and Apex base installs, prior to the integration of native installer support through JuJu (JOID) and Puppet (Apex). This procedure is being maintained as a basis for additional installer support in future releases. However since Congress is pre-installed for JOID and Apex, this procedure is not necessary and not recommended for use if Congress is already installed.

Copper provides a set of bash scripts to automatically install Congress based upon a JOID or Apex install which does not already have Congress installed. These scripts are in the Copper repo at:

  • components/congress/install/bash/install_congress_1.sh
  • components/congress/install/bash/install_congress_2.sh
Prerequisites to using these scripts:
  • OPFNV installed via JOID or Apex
  • For Apex installs, on the jumphost, ssh to the undercloud VM and “su stack”.
  • For JOID installs, admin-openrc.sh saved from Horizon to ~/admin-openrc.sh
  • Retrieve the copper install script as below, optionally specifying the branch to use as a URL parameter, e.g. ?h=stable%2Fbrahmaputra

To invoke the procedure, enter the following shell commands, optionally specifying the branch identifier to use for OpenStack.

cd ~
wget https://git.opnfv.org/cgit/copper/plain/components/congress/install/bash/install_congress_1.sh
wget https://git.opnfv.org/cgit/copper/plain/components/congress/install/bash/install_congress_2.sh
bash install_congress_1.sh [openstack-branch]

1.4. Copper post configuration procedures

No configuration procedures are required beyond the basic install procedure.
