Installation Guide

2 Installing a new controller with a local Keystone server
This chapter describes installing a Keystone server and the controller on the same (local) machine
and running the configuration script included in the controller download package. Using this option
automatically configures the Keystone server. (If you want your controller to operate with a previously
configured, remote Keystone server, then skip this chapter and go to “Using the controller with a
remote Keystone server” (page 13).)
NOTE: For most controller installations, Hewlett-Packard recommends using a local Keystone
server as described in this chapter. Doing so avoids the need to address certain security implications
associated with using a remote Keystone server. For more information, see “Using the controller
with a remote Keystone server” (page 13).
NOTE: Downloading the controller software package as described under “Downloading the
controller software” (page 7) is required before using this chapter.
The configured keystone server must be accessible and responsive to basic Keystone REST API
queries.
The controller supports v2.0 of the Keystone REST API.
Although the HP VAN SDN Controller operates with the Folsom, Grizzly, Havana, or Icehouse
releases of OpenStack Keystone, HP recommends that you use the Icehouse version with release
2.4 of the controller.

2.1 Installing the Keystone server
1. Point the Ubuntu system to the most recent package meta-data:
~$ sudo apt-get update
2. Use the following commands to install the Keystone server on the local machine.
~$ sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
ubuntu-cloud-keyring
~$ sudo add-apt-repository cloud-archive:icehouse
NOTE: Hewlett-Packard recommends using the “icehouse” version of the
OpenStack Keystone server, as shown in the above command. However, you can
use any of the following Keystone server options:
• icehouse (recommended)
• havana
• grizzly
• folsom
~$ sudo apt-get update
~$ sudo apt-get install keystone
For information on a specific Keystone version, visit http://docs.openstack.org/developer/
keystone/ and see the documentation for the OpenStack Keystone version you are using.
