Accessing a Contrail OpenStack Helm Cluster
Starting in Contrail Release 1912.L1, Helm support is unavailable in Contrail Networking. The Helm support content in this document supports Contrail Networking Releases 1907 through 1912.
When the provisioning of Contrail with Helm charts is completed, use this topic to access the OpenStack and Contrail Web UI and prepare the OpenStack client for command-line interface (CLI).
Overview
This topic assumes you have already installed Contrail and OpenStack using Helm charts, typically by using these procedures:
Installing the OpenStack Client
Use this procedure to install the OpenStack CLI tool.
Install the OpenStack client CLI tool on the primary Ubuntu host.
apt install python-dev python-pip -y pip install --upgrade pip pip install python-openstackclient OR apt-get install python-openstackclient
If you have problems installing the python-dev package, add another repository.
Add following repo to source "/etc/apt/sources.list" deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial-updates main universe multiverse apt-get update apt-get install python-dev
Create openstackrc File and Test OpenStack Client
Create an openstackrc file.
cat > /root/openstackrc << EOF export OS_USERNAME=admin export OS_PASSWORD=password export OS_TENANT_NAME=admin export OS_AUTH_URL=http://keystone-api.openstack:35357/v3 # The following lines can be omitted #export OS_TENANT_ID=tenantIDString #export OS_REGION_NAME=regionName export OS_IDENTITY_API_VERSION=3 export OS_USER_DOMAIN_NAME=${OS_USER_DOMAIN_NAME:-"Default"} export OS_PROJECT_DOMAIN_NAME=${OS_PROJECT_DOMAIN_NAME:-"Default"} EOFTest the OpenStack client.
source openstackrc openstack server list openstack stack list openstack --help
Accessing the Contrail Web UI
Access the Contrail Web UI using port 8143. Use the IP address of the host where the contrail-webui pod is running, with the port 8143.
https://<IP address host with contrail-webui>:8143
At the Contrail login screen, enter the default username and password: admin, password.
Accessing OpenStack Horizon
The OpenStack Web UI (GUI) service is exposed by the Kubernetes service, using the IP address of the node port and the default port 31000.
Check the NodePort used for the OpenStack Web UI pod.
kubectl get svc -n openstack | grep horizon-int horizon-int NodePort 10.99.150.28 <none> 80:31000/TCP 4d
Access the OpenStack Web UI and log in with the default username and password: admin, password.
http://<IP address NodePort>:31000/auth/login/?next=/
Accessing the Virtual Machine Console from Horizon
To access the virtual machine (VM) console, add the nova novncproxy fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) in the /etc/hosts file, using the host-ip where the osh-ingress pod is running.
The following example for MAC-OS shows the ingress pod running on the host with IP address 10.13.82.233.
/private/etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost 255.255.255.255 broadcasthost ::1 localhost 10.13.82.233 nova-novncproxy.openstack.svc.cluster.local
If you don't want to make changes in /etc/hosts, you can replace the nova-novncproxy.openstack.svc.cluster.local portion in the URL with the IP address where the OSH ingress pod is running.
