[Openstack] Dashboard shows Keystone and Glance as localhost but they are not

2012-02-27 Thread i3D.net - Tristan van Bokkem
Guys,

My dashboard shows keystone and glance as localhost (127.0.0.1) but they are 
not locally installed and therefor showing offline. 
I have checked and double checked every config I could find and all are 
pointing to the actual location where keynote and glance are installed. 
(192.168.0.8)

Here are my configs:

keystone.conf: http://pastebin.com/NcgczLCd

glance-registry.conf: http://pastebin.com/aRKGzMRb
glance-api.conf: http://pastebin.com/gZMQHsQg

nova.conf: http://pastebin.com/2jc9aqDu

local_settings.py (/etc/openstack-dashboard/

What am I missing?

Re: [Openstack] Howto Nova setup with HA?

2012-02-27 Thread i3D.net - Tristan van Bokkem
Alright, picture is getting more clear. Thanks all! Got some extra questions 
tho:

Font-end API servers  -- what does this do?
 * load balanced with h/w load balancer  
 * use s/w LB for smaller deployments  
 * run nova-scheduler on each  
  
MySQL DB  
 * multi-master configuration  with pacemaker providing an floating IP. - 
seems to work.
  
RabbitMQ service  
 * I think there are some corner cases where messages could be dropped  
during failover and I believe later RabbitMQ versions support full  
multi-master but require some client side changes - is there any plans  
to support this?  -- I would like to know this as well!
  
nova-volume service  
 * I think this can be solved by 'building' a proper cloud app which does not 
fail if one node fails where it is living on as it should be living on multiple 
nodes/sites.
  
Glance  
  * Run on multiple servers  -- how do they get synced?

Compute servers  
 * Each run their own copy of nova-api (only instances running on the  
node use this)  
 * nova-network (multi-host configuration) with private network  -- Needs its 
own discussion I guess.
  
Keystone
* How about keystone, same as glance I guess?

BigSwitch and Nicira have created different blueprints in quantum to add their 
plugins for essex-4 about ten days ago,  Cisco already have it included almost 
from the beginning.  No news of them for the moment, but i really hope that 
both of them make it in time!

https://blueprints.launchpad.net/quantum/+spec/quantum-bigswitch-plugin


To be clear, there are several more existing and planned plugins for Quantum, 
even beyond the three you mention.  Each plugin will make its own trade-offs in 
terms of HA for control plane and data plane components.  I'm planning on 
organizing a talk at the Folsom summit/conference where people have a chance to 
talk about their plugins.  No need for a flame war here :) 


One other point of confusion that I'd like to address is that there is NO 
requirement that a plugin be merged into the main Quantum repo for it to be a 
valid plugin.  I know of several plugins that are used despite not being 
merged in (in fact, at the summit, we're going to discuss if ANY plugins should 
remain in the main repo... this is likely a larger decision that should be made 
consistently across all openstack projects).

2012-02-21 Thread i3D.net - Tristan van Bokkem
Ho Florian,

I respect your opinion of course and I am not here to start a fight. Point is, 
how I understand it Nova really isn't very flexible on High Availability terms. 
I have now a master/master mysql setup with a Virtual IP working just to work 
around the shortcomings Nova imo introduces. This same story goes for RabbitMQ, 
I need to setup RabbitMQ in HA (which is fine) but I need to setup a Virtual IP 
for it as well just so Nova can correctly connect to it. Without the VIP the 
hole point of setting it up in a cluster is useless as you still will point 
nova to one single host.

It shouldn't be that hard to make Nova listen to multiple mysql addresses and 
rabbitmq hosts in a cluster?

  Virtual cluster IP addresses and highly available MySQL (either DRBD

Surely it depends what you want out of it?  If just pure high
  availability (ie ability to continue functioning  when primary node
  goes down), then doesn't a master/master with floating IP fit the
  bill?
  
  It sounds like what you're after is better performance/throughput
  rather than HA - the ability to write to multiple masters at the same
  time.  Even here if nova *was* able to hit multiple databases, a
  master/master setup isn't going to suit, as each write to one master
  still needs to be replicated to the other so throughput is going to be
  the same.  You'd then need to look to something like a native mysql
  cluster to get actual increased throughput.

Hm, I agree on that. Yes applications should be designed for the cloud no

How far is Nova ready for availability zones? Can I make different zones in the

Subject: RE: [Openstack] Howto Nova setup with HA?




I think that the idea behind Nova and “cloud”  computing, in general, is that 
applications, middle-ware, databases and other services,  will be delivered 
across multiple availability zones and provide HA via  application-layer 
replication.  The  concept of failure is assumed and designed for by any 
forward thinking “cloud”  designer.  I think less time need to be spent on 
preserving nodes that maintain  the “holy grail” of functionality and 
availability and more time  needs to be spent on making apps cloud-friendly.

 

In the case described below, I agree with  Diego, networking is the real 
challenge.  However, with a GSLB solution and  application-level state/data 
replication you should be able to keep your  services running even with an 
entire site failure.

2012/2/21 Michael Stein michael.st...@q9.com:
   I think that the idea behind Nova and “cloud” computing, in general, is that
   applications, middle-ware, databases and other services, will be delivered
   across multiple availability zones and provide HA via application-layer
   replication.  The concept of failure is assumed and designed for by any
   forward thinking “cloud” designer.  I think less time need to be spent on
   preserving nodes that maintain the “holy grail” of functionality and
   availability and more time needs to be spent on making apps cloud-friendly.
  
  Agreed, but you're talking about HA at a different layer - within the
  applications that will sit on top of the cloud infrastructure.  Whilst
  that's absolutely valid, and a message that needs to be spread more
  amongst those designing apps for the cloud, it's not addressing the
  concerns of the OP.
  
  We still need to be thinking about HA of the cloud infrastructure
  components themselves, so that there are less failures for the app
  designers to have to tolerate in the first place.

   If you want to make things a little simpler, an active/passive MySQL setup 
with pacemaker, corosync, and DRBD will work quite well.  ClusterLabs has a 
pretty decent howto on their site:
  
http://www.clusterlabs.org/wiki/DRBD_MySQL_HowTo
  
   As for RabbitMQ clustering, I worked with it for several days and had quite 
a few problems with data consistency and availability.  We eventually settled 
on the legacy H/A method for RabbitMQ using pacemaker and DRBD.  There's a 
pretty good walkthrough on RabbitMQ's site:

Re: [Openstack] Howto Nova setup with HA?

2012-02-16 Thread i3D.net - Tristan van Bokkem
Interesting. Could you point us to the github location? 

Anyway, ive have done some further research myself and find this very 
interesting mysql replication setup done by wsrep (https://launchpad.net/wsrep) 
and galeria (https://launchpad.net/galera/) where mysql will run as a 
Synchronous Multi-Master replication setup. 

I have this running and works perfect but the problem now is. I need to add 
some kind of loadbalancing setup as nova can only point to one mysql location 
(i.e. --sql_connection=) So if I would point it to one of the mysql nodes in 
the cluster and that one fails everything fails. Adding a loadbalancer and 
point it to that will keep my mysql alive. 

The main issue with this is, we are adding another point where we have yet to 
configure and maintain several more nodes. I would like to raise the question 
if it would be possible for nova to accept multiple mysql connection points and 
therefor drop the need for extra loadbalancer component and reducing complexity.

Hi Tom,

Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge, this will help not only me! 
As I am still working on the MySQL part, you mentioned multi-master which I 
have running indeed, but I suppose there still will need to be some kind of 
entering point within the cluster. How did you managed this?

  The team I work in has looked at a number of methods for high
  availability within the Diablo release and I've included some notes
  below, hope this helps.
  
  Font-end API servers
   * load balanced with h/w load balancer
   * use s/w LB for smaller deployments
   * run nova-scheduler on each
  
  MySQL DB
   * multi-master configuration
   * alternative: drbd + pacemaker in active/passive
  
  RabbitMQ service
   * Pacemaker with Active-passive configuration
   * Based on example from RabbitMQ site (already mentioned by someone else)
   * Virtual IP for the service - used for rabbitmq config in nova.conf
   * I think there are some corner cases where messages could be dropped
  during failover and I believe later RabbitMQ versions support full
  multi-master but require some client side changes - is there any plans
  to support this?
  
  nova-volume service
   * Current weakness in the HA setup, unless you are willing to use iscsi
  tgtd with DRBD. I believe this would still have some problems when
  failing over with the initiators that are logged in.
   * I'm hoping this will pan out for essex with some of the storage
  vendors committing nova-volume support via their API's.
  
  Glance
* Run on multiple servers
* Use another VIP in your pacemaker setup or load-balancer
* Use swift as backend storage
  
  Compute servers
   * Each run their own copy of nova-api (only instances running on the
  node use this)
   * nova-network (multi-host configuration) with private network
  
  Swift
   * Run swift-proxy across all swift-storage nodes on a small setup
  
  
  Regards,
  
  Tom

[Openstack] Howto Nova setup with HA?

2012-02-14 Thread i3D.net - Tristan van Bokkem
Hi Stackers,

It seems running Openstack components in High Availability hasn't been really a 
focus point lately, am I right?

The general docs don't really mention HA except for nova-network. So I did some 
resource on how to run Nova in a High Availability and have some questions 
about it:

The docs guides you on how to setup one cloud controller (running MySQL, 
nova-api, RabbitMQ etc.) and 2+n nodes for nova compute/network. But it does 
not mention how to make the cloud controller redundant. If the cloud controller 
brakes we have a serious problem!

So, we can run MySQL in master-master mode on multiple hosts, we can run 
nova-api on serveral hosts and load balance those and RabbitMQ has a cluster ha 
setup as well but is this the way to go? I can't find a clear answer to this. I 
am hoping one can shine some light on this!
