Applies to HPE Helion OpenStack 8

7 Overview

Before starting the installation, review the sample configurations offered by HPE Helion OpenStack in Book “Planning an Installation with Cloud Lifecycle Manager”, Chapter 9 “Example Configurations”. HPE Helion OpenStack ships with highly tuned example configurations for each of these cloud models:

There are two methods for installation to choose from:

  • You can use a GUI that runs in your Web browser.

  • You can install via the command line that gives you the flexibility and full control of HPE Helion OpenStack 8.

Using the GUI

You should use the GUI if:

  • You are not planning to deploy availability zones, L3 segmentation, or server groups functionality in your initial deployment.

  • You are satisfied with the tuned HPE-default OpenStack configuration.

Instructions for GUI installation are in Chapter 9, Installing with the Install UI.

Note
Note

Reconfiguring your cloud can only be done via the command line. The GUI installer is for initial installation only.

Using the Command Line

You should use the command line if:

  • You are installing a complex or large-scale cloud.

  • You are planning to deploy availability zones, L3 segmentation, or server groups functionality. For more information, see the Book “Planning an Installation with Cloud Lifecycle Manager”, Chapter 5 “Input Model”.

  • You want to customize the cloud configuration beyond the tuned defaults that HPE provides out of the box.

  • You need more extensive customizations than are possible using the GUI.

Instructions for installing via the command line are in Chapter 12, Installing Mid-scale and Entry-scale KVM.
