Autodeploying VIM Overcloud with Ceph

Prerequisites
  • To perform this procedure, you must be logged in to the NPS toolkit VM as a root user.

  • Before deploying the VIM Overcloud, ensure that the VIM Undercloud is in CONFIGURED state.

Procedure
  1. Run the following Overcloud autodeploy command on NPS toolkit VM:
    nps deploy -s vim_overcloud -a autodeploy
    NOTE:

    During the execution of this command, the NPS toolkit VM creates a <topology_name_overcloud_autodeploy> pod and performs all the actions mentioned in Autodeploying Overcloud process.

  2. To check the status of the installation, run the following command:
    nps show --data vim --node overcloud

    Wait until the status is displayed as OVERCLOUD_INSTALLED.

    NOTE:

    In the event of failure, make a note of the status displayed and see Installing VIM Overcloud. Based on the status, go to the individual task that failed and fix the issue. After fixing the issue, rerun the autodeploy.

  3. To access the Overcloud dashboard, log in as an Administrator user using the following URL:
    https://<VIP IP address>/dashboard

    The Administrator user login credentials are available in the Undercloud VM in the /home/stack/overcloudrc file. Retrieve the VIP IP address (OS_AUTH_URL=https://<VIP IP address>) that is available in the overcloudrc file.

    NOTE:

    If the Horizon dashboard is inaccessible (500-Internal server error), run the following commands in all the Overcloud controllers:

    sudo docker stop horizon
    sudo docker start horizon
