Verifying OpenStack operation¶
To verify basic operation of the OpenStack API and the Dashboard, perform the following tasks on an infrastructure host.
Verify the API¶
The utility container provides a CLI environment for additional configuration and testing.
Determine the name of the utility container:
# lxc-ls | grep utility infra1_utility_container-161a4084
Access the utility container:
# lxc-attach -n infra1_utility_container-161a4084Source the admin tenant credentials:
# source /root/openrc
Run an OpenStack command that uses one or more APIs. For example:
# openstack user list +----------------------------------+--------------------+ | ID | Name | +----------------------------------+--------------------+ | 08fe5eeeae314d578bba0e47e7884f3a | alt_demo | | 0aa10040555e47c09a30d2240e474467 | dispersion | | 10d028f9e47b4d1c868410c977abc3df | glance | | 249f9ad93c024f739a17ca30a96ff8ee | demo | | 39c07b47ee8a47bc9f9214dca4435461 | swift | | 3e88edbf46534173bc4fd8895fa4c364 | cinder | | 41bef7daf95a4e72af0986ec0583c5f4 | neutron | | 4f89276ee4304a3d825d07b5de0f4306 | admin | | 943a97a249894e72887aae9976ca8a5e | nova | | ab4f0be01dd04170965677e53833e3c3 | stack_domain_admin | | ac74be67a0564722b847f54357c10b29 | heat | | b6b1d5e76bc543cda645fa8e778dff01 | ceilometer | | dc001a09283a404191ff48eb41f0ffc4 | aodh | | e59e4379730b41209f036bbeac51b181 | keystone | +----------------------------------+--------------------+
Verifying the Dashboard (horizon)¶
- With a web browser, access the Dashboard by using the external load balancer IP address defined by the external_lb_vip_address option in the /etc/openstack_deploy/openstack_user_config.yml file. The Dashboard uses HTTPS on port 443.
- Authenticate by using the admin user name and the password defined by the keystone_auth_admin_password option in the /etc/openstack_deploy/user_secrets.yml file.
