Config selinux status
[root@cloud ~#] cat /etc/selinux/config # This file controls the state of SELinux on the system. # SELINUX= can take one of these three values: # enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced. # permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing. # disabled - No SELinux policy is loaded. SELINUX=disabled # SELINUXTYPE= can take one of three values: # targeted - Targeted processes are protected, # minimum - Modification of targeted policy. Only selected processes are protected. # mls - Multi Level Security protection. SELINUXTYPE=targeted
After server reboot and the connect again.
[root@cloud ~#] reboot
For connect server via ssh using Putty or Mobaxterm.
[root@cloud ~#] ssh -l 10.66.100.70
Then press Enter and type your user password.
Step #03 : Install NTP and save Cloud Stack repo for version 4.15.
[root@cloud ~#] dnf -y install chrony wget [root@cloud ~#] vi /etc/yum.repos.d/cloudstack.repo
Insert below all lines into cloudstack.repo file then save and exit.
[cloudstack]
name=cloudstack
baseurl=http://cloudstack.apt-get.eu/centos/$releasever/4.15/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
Step #04 : Install mysql connector, mysql server and configure mysql server.
[root@cloud ~#] rpm -Uvh https://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/Connector-Python/mysql-connector-python-8.0.22-1.el7.x86_64.rpm --nodeps [root@cloud ~#] yum -y install mysql-server [root@cloud ~#] vi /etc/my.cnf.d/mysql-server.cnf
Insert below all lines into my.cnf file then save and exit.
innodb_rollback_on_timeout=1
innodb_lock_wait_timeout=600
max_connections=350
log-bin=mysql-bin
binlog-format = 'ROW'
Also create cloudstack.cnf file.
[root@cloud ~#] vi /etc/my.cnf.d/cloudstack.cnf
Insert below line into cloudstack.cnf file then save and exit.
[mysqld]
Start mysql service and reset mysql root password then install Cloud Stack management service.
[root@cloud ~#] systemctl start mysqld [root@cloud ~#] mysql -u root -p // default password is blank. Mysql > ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'passw0rd'; //mysql 8 reset password Mysql > \q
Now restart mysqld service then run cloud management installation command.
[root@cloud ~#] systemctl restart mysqld.service [root@cloud ~#] yum -y install cloudstack-management [root@cloud ~#] mysqld --skip-grant-tables --user=mysql
If see any error so please check properly installed Java 11.
[root@cloud ~#] alternatives --config java // press enter for keep it
Now run Cloud Stack setup database command.
[root@cloud ~#] cloudstack-setup-databases cloud:cloud@localhost --deploy-as=root:passw0rd Mysql user name:cloud [ OK ] Mysql user password:****** [ OK ] Mysql server ip:localhost [ OK ] Mysql server port:3306 [ OK ] Mysql root user name:root [ OK ] Mysql root user password:****** [ OK ] Checking Cloud database files ... [ OK ] Checking local machine hostname ... [ OK ] Checking SELinux setup ... [ OK ] Detected local IP address as 10.66.100.70, will use as cluster management server node IP[ OK ] Preparing /etc/cloudstack/management/db.properties [ OK ] Applying /usr/share/cloudstack-management/setup/create-database.sql [ OK ] Applying /usr/share/cloudstack-management/setup/create-schema.sql [ OK ] Applying /usr/share/cloudstack-management/setup/create-database-premium.sql [ OK ] Applying /usr/share/cloudstack-management/setup/create-schema-premium.sql [ OK ] Applying /usr/share/cloudstack-management/setup/server-setup.sql [ OK ] Applying /usr/share/cloudstack-management/setup/templates.sql [ OK ] Processing encryption ... [ OK ] Finalizing setup ... [ OK ] CloudStack has successfully initialized database, you can check your database configuration in /etc/cloudstack/management/db.properties
Please ensure the following ports are open for the management server to function properly : 8080 8250 8443 9090.
Then check setup management using below command.
[root@cloud ~#] cloudstack-setup-management Starting to configure CloudStack Management Server: Configure Firewall ... [OK] Configure CloudStack Management Server ...[OK] CloudStack Management Server setup is Done!
Apache Cloud Stack installation done!!!
Step #05 : Configure iptables and nfs service for Cloud Stack version 4.15.
[root@cloud ~#] vi /etc/sysconfig/iptables Insert below line into iptables file then save and exit.
-A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 8080 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 8250 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 8443 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 9090 -j ACCEPT Insert below line into iptables file then save and exit. Then restart iptables service using below command.
[root@cloud ~#] service iptables restart [root@cloud ~#] systemctl enable iptables.service
You can check Cloud Stack log file using below command.
[root@cloud ~#] tail -f /var/log/cloudstack/management/management-server.log Now wait at least 5 minutes for up and running web UI, then go to next steps.
NFS4 communication using network domain name, so must be add your network domain name into /etc/idmapd.conf file. Open this file via any editor.
[root@cloud ~#] vi /etc/idmapd.conf Insert below line into idmapd.conf file then save and exit.
Domain = technologyrss.local // Must be change my domain name and replace your domain name.
Then restart nfs and rpcbind services using below command.
[root@cloud ~#] service rpcbind restart [root@cloud ~#] service nfs-utils restart [root@cloud ~#] systemctl enable nfs-utils [root@cloud ~#] chkconfig rpcbind on [root@cloud ~#] rpcinfo -p
Step #06 : Mount secondary storage and downlaod systemvm template for ready storage server.
[root@cloud ~#] mkdir -p /mnt/secondary [root@cloud ~#] mount -t nfs 10.66.100.30:/mnt/share/ct_secondary /mnt/secondary [root@cloud ~#] /usr/share/cloudstack-common/scripts/storage/secondary/cloud-install-sys-tmplt -m /mnt/secondary -u http://download.cloudstack.org/systemvm/4.15/systemvmtemplate-4.15.0-kvm.qcow2.bz2 -h kvm -F
It will take to download at least 30 minutes. Then unmount secondary storage folder and remove created directory. (Note : This steps for seperate nfs server. If you use Cloud Stack Management server as nfs server so don’t remove this directory).
[root@cloud ~#] umount /mnt/secondary [root@cloud ~#] rm -rf /mnt/secondary
Step #07 : This step for global configuration using local storage and allow internal site.
Access web UI using new UI or old UI.
http://10.66.100.70:8080/client/#/user/login?redirect=%2F
http://10.66.100.70:8080/client/legacy/
Default login :
User name : admin Password : password
Then Go to Global configuration find and save this option.
system.vm.use.local.storage [ set false to -> true ca.plugin.root.auth.strictness [ set true to -> false secstorage.allowed.internal.sites [ set value = 10.66.11.9 (local server ip using apache web server for download iso, http://10.66.11.9/centos.iso)]
Remember it : Must be restart Cloud Stack Management server before access.
[root@cloud ~#] /bin/systemctl stop cloudstack-management.service [root@cloud ~#] /bin/systemctl start cloudstack-management.service [root@cloud ~#] tail -f /var/log/cloudstack/management/management-server.log
Setup time zone if not setting when install operating system.
[root@cloud ~#] timedatectl [root@cloud ~#] ls -l /etc/localtime [root@cloud ~#] timedatectl set-timezone Asia/Dhaka [root@cloud ~#] timedatectl
