This article is about how Liberty connects to vCenter in OpenStack. The editor thinks it is very practical, so share it with you as a reference and follow the editor to have a look.

OpenStack connects to vCenter and sends instructions through its API. Datastore serves as the storage backend for glance and cinder, and nova uses its entire cluster as a virtualized backend. A nova-compute can only connect to one vCenter, but you can specify clusters under multiple vCenter.

The environment involved in this article

CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511

OpenStack Liberty

VCenter6.0.0

Upload image to datestore

Upload the image via glance, and use head-n 20 * .vmdk to check the format of the image. If you are converting from qcow2/raw to vmdk image, upload the image to datastore with the following command

Glance image-create-progress-name centos_vmdk-container-format bare-disk-format vmdk-property vmware_adaptertype=ide-property vmware_disktype=sparse < centos.vmdk
