About this task
This task creates the node flavor(s) that you will need when installing your deployment on OpenStack virtual machines.
|
You must complete this procedure before you begin the installation of the first node on OpenStack, but will not need to carry it out again for subsequent node installations. |
Create your node flavor(s)
Detailed procedure
-
Run the following command to create the OpenStack flavor, replacing
<flavor name>with a name that will help you identify the flavor in future.nova flavor-create <flavor name> auto <ram_mb> <disk_gb> <vcpu_count>where:
-
<ram_mb>is the amount of RAM, in megabytes -
<disk_gb>is the amount of hard disk space, in gigabytes -
<vpu_count>is the number of virtual CPUs.Specify the parameters as pure numbers without units.
-
The flavors for custom nodes are defined in your node-parameters.yaml that you passed to VMBC.
-
Make note of the flavor ID value provided in the command output because you will need it when installing your OpenStack deployment.
-
To check that the flavor you have just created has the correct values, run the command:
nova flavor-list -
If you need to remove an incorrectly-configured flavor (replacing <flavor name> with the name of the flavor), run the command:
nova flavor-delete <flavor name>
