How to do it...

In this recipe, we will demonstrate setting up a preconfigured OpenStack environment using Vagrant and accessing it via CLI and GUI:

1. Launch openstack-node1 using vagrantfile as we did for Ceph nodes in the last chapter. Make sure that you are on the host machine and are under the Ceph-Cookbook-Second-Edition repository before bringing up openstack-node1 using Vagrant:

        # cd Ceph-Cookbook-Second-Edition
        # vagrant up openstack-node1

1. Log in to the OpenStack node with the following vagrant command:

        # vagrant status openstack-node1
        $ vagrant ssh openstack-node1

1. We assume that you have some knowledge of OpenStack and are aware of its operations. We will source the keystone_admin file, which has been placed under /root, and to do this, we need to switch to root:

        $ sudo su -
        $ source keystonerc_admin

We will now run some native OpenStack commands to make sure that OpenStack is set up correctly. Please note that some of these commands do not show any information since this is a fresh OpenStack environment and does not have instances or volumes created:

      # nova list
      # cinder list
      # glance image-list

1. You can also log into the OpenStack horizon web interface (https://192.168.1.111/dashboard) using the username admin and the password vagrant:

1. After logging in, the Overview page opens:
