VMware Integrated OpenStack
Administration Guide
The VMware Integrated OpenStack Administration Guide shows you how to perform administrative tasks
in VMware Integrated OpenStack, including how to create and manage projects, users, accounts, flavors,
images, and networks.
Intended Audience
This guide is for cloud administrators who want to create and manage resources with an OpenStack
®
deployment that is fully integrated with VMware vSphere . To do so successfully, you should be familiar
with the OpenStack components and functions.

Deployment Configuration
You can modify the configuration of your VMware Integrated OpenStack deployment to add capacity,
enable profiling, update credentials, and change or customize various settings.
This chapter includes the following topics:
n Adding Capacity to an OpenStack Deployment
n Add IP Address Ranges to a Network
n Modify Network DNS Settings
n Update Component Credentials
n Add Certificates to Your Deployment
n Configure Public API Rate Limiting
n Customize Horizon Logos
n Profile OpenStack Services
n OpenStack Instances in vSphere
n Create a Tenant Virtual Data Center
Adding Capacity to an OpenStack Deployment
You can add compute clusters and datastores to an existing VMware Integrated OpenStack deployment.
Add Compute Clusters to an OpenStack Deployment
You can add compute clusters to your VMware Integrated OpenStack deployment to increase CPU
capacity.
Prerequisites
In vSphere, create the cluster that you want to add to your deployment.
If you want to add compute clusters from a separate compute vCenter Server instance, the following
restrictions apply:
n You must deploy VMware Integrated OpenStack in HA mode with NSX-T Data Center networking.
Other deployment and networking modes do not support adding compute clusters from separate
vCenter Server instances.
VMware, Inc. 8
VMware Integrated OpenStack Administration Guide
n You cannot add compute clusters from separate compute vCenter Server instances in the same
availability zone.
Procedure
1 In the vSphere Web Client, select Home > VMware Integrated OpenStack.
2 Open the Manage tab.
3 If you want to add compute clusters from a separate vCenter Server instance, first add the instance to
your deployment.
a Select the Compute vCenter Server tab.
b Click the Add (plus sign) icon at the top left of the pane.
c Enter the FQDN of the vCenter Server instance and administrator credentials and click OK.
4 Select the Nova Compute tab.
5 Click the Add (plus sign) icon at the top left of the pane.
6 Select the vCenter Server instance and availability zone for the compute cluster that you want to add
and click Next.
7 Select the new compute cluster and click Next.
The cluster you select must contain at least one host.
8 Select one or more datastores for the compute cluster to consume and click Next.
9 Select the management virtual machine and desired datastore and click Next.
10 Review the proposed configuration and click Finish.
The capacity of your deployment increases accordingly with the size of the additional compute cluster.
Add Storage to a Compute Node
You can increase the number of datastores available to a compute node in your
VMware Integrated OpenStack deployment.
Adding a datastore causes the compute service to restart and might temporarily interrupt OpenStack
services.
Procedure
1 In the vSphere Web Client, select Home > VMware Integrated OpenStack.
2 Open the Manage tab.
3 Open the Nova Storage tab and click the Add (plus sign) icon at the top left of the pane.
4 Select the cluster to which you want to add a datastore and click Next.
5 Select one or more datastores to add to the cluster and click Next.
6 Review the proposed configuration and click Finish.
VMware, Inc. 9
VMware Integrated OpenStack Administration Guide
The storage capacity for the selected compute node increases accordingly with the size of the additional
datastore.
Add Storage to the Image Service
You can increase the number of datastores available to the image service in your
VMware Integrated OpenStack deployment.
Adding a datastore causes the image service to restart and might temporarily interrupt OpenStack
services.
Procedure
1 In the vSphere Web Client, select Home > VMware Integrated OpenStack.
2 Open the Manage tab.
3 Open the Glance Storage tab and click the Add (plus sign) icon at the top left of the pane.
4 Select one or more datastores to add and click Next.
5 Review the proposed configuration and click Finish.
The storage capacity for the image service increases accordingly with the size of the additional datastore.
Add IP Address Ranges to a Network
You can add IP address ranges to the networks in your deployment.
Important The management and API access networks cannot include more than 100 IP addresses
each.
Procedure
1 In the vSphere Web Client, select Home > VMware Integrated OpenStack.
2 Click the Manage tab and click the Networks tab.
The Networks tab lists the management and API access network configurations, including their IP
address ranges.
3 Right-click the network that you want to modify and select Add IP Range.
4 Specify the IP address range that you want to add and click OK.
You can click Add IP Range to add multiple address ranges at once.
Modify Network DNS Settings
You can modify the DNS settings for the management and API access networks.
Important Modifying the network DNS settings will briefly interrupt the network connection.
