In order to run Devstsack in a local VM, you need to start by installing a guest with Ubuntu 12.04 server. Download an image file from Ubuntu’s web site and create a new guest from it. Virtualization solution should support nested virtualization.
Install VMWare Fusion and create a new VM with Ubuntu Server 12.04. Recommended settings:
How to set fixed IP address for your VM
subnet 192.168.55.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.55.128 192.168.55.254;
host VM_HOSTNAME {
hardware ethernet VM_MAC_ADDRESS;
fixed-address 192.168.55.20;
}
$ sudo /Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmnet-cli --stop
$ sudo /Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmnet-cli --start
Now we are going to install DevStack in VM we just created. So, connect to VM with secure shell and follow instructions.
$ sudo apt-get install git-core
$ git clone https://github.com/openstack-dev/devstack.git
ADMIN_PASSWORD=nova
MYSQL_PASSWORD=nova
RABBIT_PASSWORD=nova
SERVICE_PASSWORD=$ADMIN_PASSWORD
SERVICE_TOKEN=nova

# keystone is now configured by default to use PKI as the token format which produces huge tokens.
# set UUID as keystone token format which is much shorter and easier to work with.
KEYSTONE_TOKEN_FORMAT=UUID
# Change the FLOATING_RANGE to whatever IPs VM is working in.
# In NAT mode it is subnet VMWare Fusion provides, in bridged mode it is your local network.
# But only use the top end of the network by using a /27 and starting at the 224 octet.
FLOATING_RANGE=192.168.55.224/27
# Enable auto assignment of floating IPs. By default Savanna expects this setting to be enabled
EXTRA_OPTS=(auto_assign_floating_ip=True)
# Enable logging
SCREEN_LOGDIR=$DEST/logs/screen
# Set ``OFFLINE`` to ``True`` to configure ``stack.sh`` to run cleanly without
# Internet access. ``stack.sh`` must have been previously run with Internet
# access to install prerequisites and fetch repositories.
# OFFLINE=True
$ ./stack.sh
Once previous step is finished Devstack will print Horizon URL. Navigate to this URL and login with login “admin” and password from localrc.
Now we need to modify security rules. It will allow to connect to VMs directly from your host. Navigate to project’s “Admin” security tab and edit default Security Group rules:
IP Protocol |
From Port |
To Port |
Source Group |
CIDR |
---|---|---|---|---|
TCP |

65535 |
CIDR |
0.0.0.0/0 |
ICMP |

-1 |
CIDR |
0.0.0.0/0 |
Congratulations! You have OpenStack running in your VM and ready to launch VMs inside that VM :)
