Figure 4.1. Installation work flow

Ansible references a handful of files containing mandatory and optional configuration directives. These files must be modified to define the target environment before running the Ansible playbooks. Perform the following tasks:

• Configure Target host networking to define bridge interfaces and networks
• Configure a list of target hosts on which to install the software
• Configure virtual and physical network relationships for OpenStack Networking (neutron)
• (Optional) Configure the hypervisor
• (Optional) Configure Block Storage (cinder) to use the NetApp back end
• (Optional) Configure Block Storage (cinder) backups.
• (Optional) Configure Block Storage availability zones
• Configure passwords for all services
