Jump Server Configuration

Jump server install procedures are maintained by each installer project. Addional Jump server configuraton BKMs will be maintained here. The below install information was used for Fuel however may be outdated (please refer to Fuel Installer documents).

Procedure

1. Obtain CentOS 7 Minimal ISO and install

wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/7/isos/x86_64/CentOS-7-x86_64-Minimal-1503-01.iso

2. Set parameters appropriate for your environment during installation
3. Disable NetworkManager

systemctl disable NetworkManager

4. Configure your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* files for your network
5. Restart networking

service network restart

6. Edit /etc/resolv.conf and add a nameserver

vi /etc/resolv.conf

7. Install libvirt & kvm

yum -y update yum -y install kvm qemu-kvm libvirt systemctl enable libvirtd

8. Reboot:

shutdown -r now

9. If you wish to avoid annoying delay when use ssh to log in, disable DNS lookups:

vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Uncomment “UseDNS yes”, change ‘yes’ to ‘no’.

Save

10. Restart sshd

systemctl restart sshd

11. Install virt-install

yum -y install virt-install

12. Visit artifacts.opnfv.org and D/L the OPNFV Fuel ISO
13. Create a bridge using the interface on the PXE network, for example: br0
14. Make a directory owned by qemu:

mkdir /home/qemu; mkdir -p /home/qemu/VMs/fuel-6.0/disk

chown -R qemu:qemu /home/qemu

15. Copy the ISO to /home/qemu

cd /home/qemu

virt-install -n opnfv-2015-05-22_18-34-07-fuel -r 4096 --vcpus=4 --cpuset=0-3 -c opnfv-2015-05-22_18-34-07.iso --os-type=linux --os-variant=rhel6 --boot hd,cdrom --disk path=/home/qemu/VMs/mirantis-fuel-6.0/disk/fuel-vhd0.qcow2,bus=virtio,size=50,format=qcow2 -w bridge=br0,model=virtio --graphics vnc,listen=0.0.0.0

16. Temporarily flush the firewall rules to make things easier:

iptables -F

17. Connect to the console of the installing VM with your favorite VNC client.
18. Change the IP settings to match the pod, use an IP in the PXE/Admin network for the Fuel Master
