# Installing and using the Parallel Virtual Cluster suite
|
||||
# Getting started - deploying a Parallel Virtual Cluster
|
||||
|
||||
### Changelog
|
||||
PVC aims to be easy to deploy, letting you get on with managing your cluster in just a few hours at most. Once initial setup is complete, the cluster is generally self-managing and can be interfaces with directly from the clients.
|
||||
|
||||
#### 0.4
|
||||
This guide will walk you through setting up a simple 3-node PVC cluster from scratch, ending with a fully-usable cluster ready to provision virtual machines. Note that all domains, IP addresses, etc. used are examples - when following this guide, be sure to modify the commands and configurations to suit your needs.
|
||||
|
||||
* PVC supports manual or Ansible bootstrapping of nodes
|
||||
### Part One - Prepararing for bootstrap
|
||||
|
||||
* PVC supports both virtual-manager-only and virtual-manager+networking operating modes
|
||||
0. Download the latest copy of the [`pvc-installer`](https://github.com/parallelvirtualcluster/pvc-installer) and [`pvc-ansible`](https://github.com/parallelvirtualcluster/pvc-ansible) repositories to your local machine.
|
||||
|
||||
## Building
|
||||
0. In `pvc-ansible`, create an initial `hosts` inventory, using `hosts.default` as a template. You can manage multiple PVC clusters ("sites") from the Ansible repository easily, however for simplicity you can use the simple name `cluster` for your initial site. Define the 3 hostnames you will use under the site group; usually the provided names of `pvchv1`, `pvchv2`, and `pvchv3` are sufficient, though you may use any hostname pattern you wish. It is *very important* that the names all contain a sequential number, however, as this is used by various components.
|
||||
|
||||
The repository contains the required elements to build Debian packages for PVC. It is not handled like a normal Python package but instead the debs contain the raw files placed in Debianized places.
|
||||
0. In `pvc-ansible`, create an initial set of `group_vars`, using the `group_vars/default` as a template. Inside these group vars are two main files:``base.yml` and `pvc.yml`. These example files are well-documented; read them carefully and specify all required options before proceeding.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Run `build-deb.sh`; you will need `dpkg-buildpackage` installed.
|
||||
`base.yml` configures the `base` role and some common per-cluster configurations such as an upstream domain, a root password, and a set of administrative users, as well as and most importantly, the basic network configuration of the nodes. Make special note of the various items that must be generated such as passwords; these should all be cluster-unique.
|
||||
|
||||
1. The output packages for the node daemon and clients will be located in the parent directory.
|
||||
`pvc.yml` configures the `pvc` role, including all the dependent software and PVC itself. Important to note is the `pvc_nodes` list, which contains a list of all the nodes as well as per-node configurations for each. All nodes, both coordinator and not, must be a part of this list.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Copy the `.deb` files to the target systems or add them to a custom repository accessible to the future nodes.
|
||||
0. Optionally though strongly recommended, move your new configurations out of the `pvc-ansible` repository. The `.gitignore` file will ignore all non-default data, so it is advisable to move these configurations to a separate, secure, repository or filestore, and symlink to them inside the `pvc-ansible` repository directories. The three important locations to symlink are:
|
||||
* `hosts`: The main Ansible inventory for the various clusters.
|
||||
* `group_vars/<cluster_name>`: The `group_vars` for the various clusters.
|
||||
* `files/<cluster_name>`: Static files, created during the bootstrap Ansible run, for the various clusters.
|
||||
|
||||
## Base System Setup
|
||||
0. In `pvc-installer`, run the `buildiso.sh` script to generate an installer ISO. This script requires `debootstrap`, `isolinux`, and `xorriso` to function. The resulting file will, by default, be named `pvc-installer.iso` in the current directory.
|
||||
|
||||
PVC requires Debian GNU/Linux 10.X ("Buster") or later, using `systemd`, to operate correctly. Before proceeding with the manual or Ansible setup, you must have prepared a set of initial hosts with the base system.
|
||||
### Part Two - Preparing and installing the physical hosts
|
||||
|
||||
1. Using the Debian GNU/Linux 10.X installer or a method of your choice, prepare 1, 3, or 5 physical hosts. This initial set will act as coordinators for the cluster, after which more nodes can be added. Name the hosts "[name]1", "[name]2", etc.; "name" can be anything you wish, though "node", "hv", or "pvc" are most descriptive.
|
||||
0. Prepare 3 physical servers with IPMI. These physical servers should have at the least a system disk (a single disk, hardware RAID1, or similar), one or more data (Ceph OSD) disks, and networking/CPU/RAM suitable for the cluster needs. Connect their networking based on the configuration set in the `pvc-ansible` `group_vars/base.yml` file.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Create an SSH configuration and sudo-capable user for login on each node. Key-based authentication is strongly recommended to avoid entering passwords later.
|
||||
0. Configure the IPMI user specified in the `pvc-ansible` `group_vars/base.yml` file with the required permissions; this user will be used to reboot the host if it fails, so it must be able to control system power state.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Configure the systems with a basic network interface conforming to the [network requirements](/architecture/networking). Normally, the PVC "upstream" network will be used to configure and bootstrap the nodes, however you can use another network should you wish. For a simple deployment, an access vLAN with a single IP is sufficient. Bonding/failover is optional but recommended.
|
||||
0. Load the installer ISO generated in step 5 of the previous section onto a USB stick, or using IPMI virtual media, on the physical servers.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Configure DNS or `/etc/hosts` entries for all nodes so that they may resolve each others' FQDNs. This is especially important for the Ansible installation method since the `ansible_fqdn` value is used extensively.
|
||||
0. Boot the physical servers off of the installer ISO, in UEFI mode if available for maximum flexibility.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Ensure you can log in to the systems, that they can access the Internet, and that the user can execute arbitrary commands with `sudo`.
|
||||
0. Follow the prompts from the installer ISO. It will ask for a hostname, the system disk device to use, the initial network interface to configure as well as either DHCP or static IP information, and finally either an HTTP URL containing an SSH `authorized_keys` to use for the `deploy` user, or a password for this user if key auth is unavailable.
|
||||
|
||||
## Ansible
|
||||
0. Wait for the installer to complete. It will provide some next steps at the end, and wait for the administrator to acknowledge via an "Enter" keypress. The node will now reboot into the base PVC system.
|
||||
|
||||
PVC includes a set of Ansible roles and playbooks for deploying PVC nodes. Using these automates the manual deployments steps and ends with a working set of initial coordinator nodes. It can then also be used to deploy subsequent nodes as well or update the cluster configuration. By default, the Ansible role makes use of the official PVC Debian repository, though you may use an alternate repository or locally-built `.deb` files via configuration options.
|
||||
0. Repeat the above steps for all 3 initial nodes. On boot, they will display their configured IP address to be used in the next steps.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Configure a set of `group_vars` and a host inventory for the role, based on the `defaults/example.yml` configuration. This example includes all possible options on a simple 3-node coordinator set in the most simple possible deployment. Modify the hostnames, IP addresses, passwords, and other such information as required for your deployment. Refer to the [Ansible role configuration documentation](/ansible/configuration) for a detailed breakdown of the various options.
|
||||
### Part Three - Initial bootstrap with Ansible
|
||||
|
||||
1. Execute the `bootstrap.yml` playbook against the set of initial coordinators deployed in the last section. The playbook operates in parallel mode for the initial section to configure the base resources, then squentially to configure the actual PVC daemon and bring up the cluster.
|
||||
0. Make note of the IP addresses of all 3 initial nodes, and configure DNS, `/etc/hosts`, or Ansible `ansible_host=` hostvars to map these IP addresses to the hostnames set in the Ansible `hosts` and `group_vars` files.
|
||||
|
||||
1. The `bootstrap.yml` playbook will reboot the nodes at the appropriate times. Once they return to service, the PVC cluster will be ready to use or modify further.
|
||||
0. Verify connectivity from your administrative host to the 3 initial nodes, including SSH access. Accept their host keys as required before proceeding as Ansible does not like those prompts.
|
||||
|
||||
1. To perform future updates to the cluster configuration, such as adding additional nodes or changing configuration variables, execute the `update.yml` playbook instead. This playbook is very similar to the `bootstrap.yml` playbook but with tweaks to prevent unneccessary disruption to the core cluster.
|
||||
0. Verify your `group_vars` setup from part one, as errors here may require a reinstallation and restart of the bootstrap process.
|
||||
|
||||
## Manual
|
||||
0. Perform the initial bootstrap. From the `pvc-ansible` repository directory, execute the following `ansible-playbook` command, replacing `<cluster_name>` with the Ansible group name from the `hosts` file. Make special note of the additional `bootstrap=yes` variable, which tells the playbook that this is an initial bootstrap run.
|
||||
`$ ansible-playbook -v -i hosts pvc.yml -l <cluster_name> -e bootstrap=yes`
|
||||
|
||||
### Virtual Manager only
|
||||
0. Wait for the Ansible playbook run to finish. Once completed, the cluster bootstrap will be finished, and all 3 nodes will have rebooted into a working PVC cluster.
|
||||
|
||||
1. On the first 3 physical servers, deploy Zookeeper (Debian packages `zookeeper` and `zookeeperd`) in a cluster configuration. After this, Zookeeper should be available on port `2181` on all 3 nodes.
|
||||
0. Install the CLI client on your administrative host, and verify connectivity to the cluster, for instance by running the following command, which should show all 3 nodes as present and running:
|
||||
`$ pvc -z pvchv1:2181,pvchv2:2181,pvchv3:2181 node list`
|
||||
|
||||
1. Install the PVC packages generated in the previous section. Use `apt -f install` to correct dependency issues. The `pvcd` service will fail to start; this is expected.
|
||||
0. Optionally, verify the API is listening on the `upstream_floating_ip` address configured in the cluster `group_vars`, for instance by running the following command which shows, in JSON format, the same information as in the previous step:
|
||||
`$ curl -X GET http://<upstream_floating_ip>:7370/api/v1/node`
|
||||
|
||||
1. Create the `/etc/pvc/pvcd.yaml` daemon configuration file, using the template available at `/etc/pvc/pvcd.sample.yaml`. An example configuration for a virtual manager only cluster's first host would be:
|
||||
### Part Four - Configuring the Ceph storage cluster

|
||||

|
||||
stdout_logging: True
|
||||
All steps in this section can be performed using either the CLI client or the HTTP API; for clarity, only the CLI commands are shown.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Start the PVC daemon (`systemctl start pvcd`) on the first node. On startup, the daemon will connect to the Zookeeper cluster and automatically add itself to the configuration. Verify it is running with `journalctl -u pvcd -o cat` and that it is sending keepalives to the cluster.
|
||||
0. Determine the Ceph OSD block devices on each host, via an `ssh` shell. For instance, check `/dev/disk/by-path` to show the block devices by their physical SAS/SATA bus location, and obtain the relevant `/dev/sdX` name for each disk you wish to be a Ceph OSD on each host.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Use the client CLI on the first node to verify the node is up and running:
|
||||
0. Add each OSD device to each host. The general command is:
|
||||
`$ pvc ceph osd add --weight <weight> <node> <device>`
|
||||
|
||||
$ pvc node list
|
||||
Name St: Daemon Coordinator Domain Res: VMs CPUs Load Mem (M): Total Used Free VMs
|
||||
node1 run primary flushed 0 24 0.41 91508 2620 88888 0
|
||||
For example, if each node has two data disks, as `/dev/sdb` and `/dev/sdc`, run the commands as follows:
|
||||
`$ pvc ceph osd add --weight 1.0 pvchv1 /dev/sdb`
|
||||
`$ pvc ceph osd add --weight 1.0 pvchv1 /dev/sdc`
|
||||
`$ pvc ceph osd add --weight 1.0 pvchv2 /dev/sdb`
|
||||
`$ pvc ceph osd add --weight 1.0 pvchv2 /dev/sdc`
|
||||
`$ pvc ceph osd add --weight 1.0 pvchv3 /dev/sdb`
|
||||
`$ pvc ceph osd add --weight 1.0 pvchv3 /dev/sdc`
|
||||
|
||||
The `Daemon` mode should be `run`, and on initial startup the `Domain` mode will be `flushed` to prevent VMs being immediately provisioned or migrated to the new node.
|
||||
*NOTE:* On the CLI, the `--weight` argument is optional, and defaults to `1.0`. In the API, it must be specified explicitly. OSD weights determine the relative amount of data which can fit onto each OSD. Under normal circumstances, you would want all OSDs to be of identical size, and hence all should have the same weight. If your OSDs are instead different sizes, the weight should be proportial to the size, e.g. `1.0` for a 100GB disk, `2.0` for a 200GB disk, etc. For more details, see the Ceph documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Start the PVC daemon on the other nodes as well, verifying their status in the same way as the first node.
|
||||
*NOTE:* OSD commands wait for the action to complete on the node, and can take some time (up to 30s normally). Be cautious of HTTP timeouts when using the API to perform these steps.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Use the client CLI on the first node to set the first node into ready state:
|
||||
0. Verify that the OSDs were added and are functional (`up` and `in`):
|
||||
`$ pvc ceph osd list`
|
||||
|
||||
$ pvc node ready node1
|
||||
Restoring hypervisor node1 to active service.
|
||||
0. Create an RBD pool to store VM images on. The general command is:
|
||||
`$ pvc ceph pool add <name> <placement_groups>`
|
||||
|
||||
The `Domain` state for the node will now be `ready`.
|
||||
For example, to create a pool named `vms` with 256 placement groups (a good default with 6 OSD disks), run the command as follows:
|
||||
`$ pvc ceph pool add vms 256`
|
||||
|
||||
1. Repeat the previous step for the other two nodes. The cluster is now ready to handle virtual machines.
|
||||
*NOTE:* Ceph placement groups are a complex topic; as a general rule it's easier to grow than shrink, so start small and grow as your cluster grows. For more details see the Ceph documentation and the [placement group calculator](https://ceph.com/pgcalc/).
|
||||
|
||||
1. Provision a KVM virtual machine using whatever tools or methods you choose, and obtain the Libvirt `.xml` domain definition file. Note that virtual network bridges should use the form `vmbrXXX`, where `XXX` is the vLAN ID or another numeric identifier.
|
||||
*NOTE:* All PVC RBD pools use `copies=3` and `mincopies=2` for data storage. This provides, for each object, 3 copies of the data, with writes being accepted with 1 degraded copy. This provides maximum resiliency against single-node outages, but will use 3x the amount of storage for each unit stored inside the image. Take this into account when sizing OSD disks and VM images. This cannot be changed as any less storage will result in a non-HA cluster that could not handle a single node failure.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Define the VM in the cluster using the CLI tool:
|
||||
0. Verify that the pool was added:
|
||||
`$ pvc ceph pool list`
|
||||
|
||||
$ pvc vm define --target node1 path/to/test1.xml
|
||||
Adding new VM with Name "test1" and UUID "5115d00f-9f11-4899-9edf-5a35bf76d6b4" to database.
|
||||
### Part Five - Creating virtual networks
|
||||
|
||||
1. Verify that the new VM is present:
|
||||
0. Determine a domain name, IPv4, and/or IPv6 network for your first client network, and any other client networks you may wish to create. For this guide we will create a single "managed" virtual client network with DHCP.
|
||||
|
||||
$ pvc vm list
|
||||
Name UUID State Networks RAM (M) vCPUs Node Migrated
|
||||
test1 5115d00f-9f11-4899-9edf-5a35bf76d6b4 stop 101 1024 1 node1 no
|
||||
0. Create the virtual network. The general command for an IPv4-only network with DHCP is:
|
||||
`$ pvc network add <vni_id> --type <type> --description <spaceless_description> --domain <domain> --ipnet <ipv4_network_in_CIDR> --gateway <ipv4_gateway_address> --dhcp --dhcp-start <first_address> --dhcp-end <last_address>`
|
||||
|
||||
1. Start the new VM and verify it is running:
|
||||
For example, to create the managed (EVPN VXLAN) network `100` with subnet `10.100.0.0/24`, gateway `.1` and DHCP from `.100` to `.199`, run the command as follows:
|
||||
`$ pvc network add 100 --type managed --description my-managed-network --domain myhosts.local --ipnet 10.100.0.0/24 --gateway 10.100.0.1 --dhcp --dhcp-start 10.100.0.100 --dhcp-end 10.100.0.199`
|
||||
|
||||
$ pvc vm start test1
|
||||
Starting VM "5115d00f-9f11-4899-9edf-5a35bf76d6b4".
|
||||
$ pvc vm info test1
|
||||
Virtual machine information:
|
||||
For another example, to create the static bridged (switch-configured, tagged VLAN, with no PVC management of IPs) network `200`, run the command as follows:
|
||||
`$ pvc network add 200 --type bridged --description my-bridged-network`
|
||||
|
||||
UUID: 5115d00f-9f11-4899-9edf-5a35bf76d6b4
|
||||
Name: test1
|
||||
Description: Testing host
|
||||
Memory (M): 1024
|
||||
vCPUs: 1
|
||||
Topology (S/C/T): 1/1/1
|
||||
0. Verify that the network(s) were added:
|
||||
`$ pvc network list`
|
||||
|
||||
State: start
|
||||
Current Node: node1
|
||||
Previous Node: N/A
|
||||
0. On the upstream router, configure one of:
|
||||
|
||||
Networks: 101 [invalid]
|
||||
a) A BGP neighbour relationship with the `upstream_floating_address` to automatically learn routes.
|
||||
|
||||
Congratulations, you have deployed a simple PVC cluster! Add any further VMs or nodes you require using the same procedure, though additional nodes do not need to be in the `coordinators:` list.
|
||||
b) Static routes for the configured client IP networks towards the `upstream_floating_address`.
|
||||
|
||||
### With virtual networking support
|
||||
0. On the upstream router, if required, configure NAT for the configured client IP networks.
|
||||
|
||||
In addition to a virtual manager only setup, PVC v0.4 supports a setup with virtual networking support as well. This configuration enables management of both simple bridged and managed networking within the cluster, and requires additional setup steps.
|
||||
0. Verify the client networks are reachable by pinging the managed gateway from outside the cluster.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Perform the first 4 steps of the previous section.
|
||||
### Part Six - Setting nodes ready and deploying a VM
|
||||
|
||||
1. Deploy a Patroni PostgreSQL cluster among the coordinators. Follow the [PowerDNS guide](https://doc.powerdns.com/md/authoritative/backend-generic-pgsql/#default-schema) to create a PowerDNS authoritative database schema on the cluster.
|
||||
This section walks through deploying a simple Debian VM to the cluster with Debootstrap. Note that as of PVC version `0.5`, this is still a manual process, though automated deployment of VMs based on configuration templates and image snapshots is planned for version `0.6`. This section can be used as a basis for a scripted installer, or a manual process as the administrator sees fit.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Configure the `/etc/pvc/pvcd.yaml` file based on the `/etc/pvc/pvcd.sample.yaml` file, this time not removing any major sections. Fill in the required values for the MySQL DNS database, the various interfaces and networks, and set `enable_networking: True`.
|
||||
0. Set all 3 nodes to `ready` state, allowing them to run virtual machines. The general command is:
|
||||
`$ pvc node ready <node>`
|
||||
|
||||
1. Proceed with the remainder of the previous section.
|
||||
0. Create an RBD image for the VM. The general command is:
|
||||
`$ pvc ceph volume add <pool> <name> <size>
|
||||
|
||||
1. Configure networks with the `pvc network` CLI utility:
|
||||
For example, to create a 20GB disk for a VM called `test1` in the previously-configured pool `vms`, run the command as follows:
|
||||
`$ pvc ceph volume add vms test1_disk0 20G`
|
||||
|
||||
$ pvc network add 1001 -p bridged -d test-net-1
|
||||
Network "test-net-1" added successfully!
|
||||
$ pvc network add 1002 -p managed -d test-net-2 -i 10.200.0.0/24 -g 10.200.0.1
|
||||
Network "test-net-2" added successfully!
|
||||
$ pvc network list
|
||||
VNI Description Type Domain IPv6 DHCPv6 IPv4 DHCPv4
|
||||
1001 test1 bridged None False False False False
|
||||
1002 test2 managed test2 False False True False
|
||||
0. Verify the RBD image was created:
|
||||
`$ pvc ceph volume list`
|
||||
|
||||
1. Configure any static ACLs, enable DHCP, or perform other network management functions using the CLI utility. See `pvc network -h` for the high-level commands available.
|
||||
0. On one of the PVC nodes, for example `pvchv1`, map the RBD volume to the local system:
|
||||
`$ ceph rbd map vms/test1_disk0`
|
||||
|
||||
The resulting disk device will be available at `/dev/rbd/vms/test1_disk0` or `/dev/rbd0`.
|
||||
|
||||
0. Create a filesystem on the block device, for example `ext4`:
|
||||
`$ mkfs -t ext4 /dev/rbd/vms/test1_disk0`
|
||||
|
||||
0. Create a temporary directory and mount the block device to it, using `mount` to find the directory:
|
||||
`$ mount /dev/rbd/vms/test1_disk0 $( mktemp -d )`
|
||||
`$ mount | grep rbd`
|
||||
|
||||
0. Run a `debootstrap` installation to the volume:
|
||||
`$ debootstrap buster <temporary_mountpoint> http://ftp.mirror.debian.org/debian`
|
||||
|
||||
0. Bind mount the various required directories to the new system:
|
||||
`$ mount --bind /dev <temporary_mountpoint>/dev`
|
||||
`$ mount --bind /dev/pts <temporary_mountpoint>/dev/pts`
|
||||
`$ mount --bind /proc <temporary_mountpoint>/proc`
|
||||
`$ mount --bind /sys <temporary_mountpoint>/sys`
|
||||
`$ mount --bind /run <temporary_mountpoint>/run`
|
||||
|
||||
0. Using `chroot`, configure the VM system as required, for instance installing packages or adding users:
|
||||
`$ chroot <temporary_mountpoint>`
|
||||
`[chroot]$ ...`
|
||||
|
||||
0. Install the GRUB bootloader in the VM system, and install Grub to the RBD device:
|
||||
`[chroot]$ apt install grub-pc`
|
||||
`[chroot]$ grub-install /dev/rbd/vms/test1_disk0`
|
||||

0. Exit the `chroot` environment, unmount the temporary mountpoint, and unmap the RBD device:
|
||||
`[chroot]$ exit`
|
||||
`$ umount <temporary_mountpoint>`
|
||||
`$ rbd unmap /dev/rd0`
|
||||
|
||||
0. Prepare a Libvirt XML configuration, obtaining the required Ceph storage secret and a new random VM UUID first. This example provides a very simple VM with 1 vCPU, 1GB RAM, the previously-configured network `100`, and the previously-configured disk `vms/test1_disk0`:
|
||||
`$ virsh secret-list`
|
||||
`$ uuidgen`
|
||||
`$ $EDITOR /tmp/test1.xml`
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
<domain type='kvm'>
|
||||
<name>test1</name>
|
||||
<uuid>[INSERT GENERATED UUID]</uuid>

|

|
||||
*NOTE:* This Libvirt XML is only a sample; it should be modified to fit the specifics of the VM. Alternatively to manual configuration, one can use a tool like `virt-manager` to generate valid Libvirt XML configurations for PVC to use.
|
||||
|
||||
0. Define the VM in the PVC cluster:
|
||||
`$ pvc vm define /tmp/test1.xml`
|
||||
|
||||
0. Verify the VM is present in the cluster:
|
||||
`$ pvc vm info test1`
|
||||
|
||||
0. Start the VM and watch the console log:
|
||||
`$ pvc vm start test1`
|
||||
`$ pvc vm log -f test1`
|
||||
|
||||
If all has gone well until this point, you should now be able to watch your new VM boot on the cluster, grab DHCP from the managed network, and run away doing its thing. You could now, for instance, move it permanently to another node with the `pvc vm move -t <node> test1` command, or temporarily with the `pvc vm migrate -t <node> test1` command and back again with the `pvc vm unmigrate test` command.
|
||||
|
||||
For more details on what to do next, see the [CLI manual](/manuals/cli) for a full list of management functions, SSH into your new VM, and start provisioning more. Your new private cloud is now here!
