What is this?

This is an easy installation script for CloudStack 4.x. This script automates installation on a fresh CentOS 6.x node by using minimal netinstall. All you have to do is running this script with options ‘-canm’. After a while you will see welcome message on the CloudStack web UI.

This script also saves installation steps of CloudStack on multiple nodes with Management Servers, Computing Nodes and Storage Servers.

How to use

Download this script into wherever you like on the server that CloudStack will be installed. When you run this script with ‘-h’(help) optoin, you will see available options for the script.

./autoinstall_cloudstack.sh -h

Options

Option	Function
-c	install the common packages
-n	install NFS server
-a	install the agent for computing nodes
-m	install the Management Server
-h	show help
-r	reboot after the installation

Usage:

• ‘-cm’: when you want to install only the management server
• ‘-cn’: when you want to install only the NFS server
• ‘-ca’: when you want to install only the agent for computing nodes

The ‘-c’(common) option will set SELinux to permissive, firewall and network.

Installing CloudStack on single node, type command bellow:

./autoinstall_cloudstack.sh -cnamr

Tips

• You may need to install ‘wget’ or ‘openssh-clients’ package with yum command before downloading this script.
• If you want to save time to input credentials to login by SSH, enter the ssh public key of your client machine to SSH_PUBLIC_KEY at the 3rd line of the script (optional).

Concerns

This script sets up the network for CloudStack requirements automatically, and it may works only on servers with 1 NIC.

This script sets up network bridges as:

# brctl show
bridge name bridge id               STP enabled     interfaces
cloud0      8000.fe00a9fe0074       no              vnet0
                                                    vnet3
cloudbr0    8000.80ee733704b5       no              eth0
                                                    vnet1
                                                    vnet2
                                                    vnet4
                                                    vnet5
                                                    vnet6
virbr0      8000.52540079e395       yes             virbr0-nic
