In interactive mode, you install Heat orchestration engines for the blueprint design
server by typing configuration information in a command-line program.
About this task
If you already use a Keystone server, you can use it as your identity service
for the blueprint design server. If you do not use a Keystone server, you can install one with the
engine.
What to do next
If you did not start the engine services during installation, start them. See
Starting the blueprint designer, cloud discovery service, and engine.
The Keystone server's
default administrative tenant user name is admin and the default password is
openstack1. The authorization token is listed in the
/etc/keystone/keystone.conf and /root/keystonerc
file.
The installation process automatically started the required backend services for the
engine. If you stop the backend services while the OpenStack services for the Heat engine are
running, the OpenStack services for the Heat engine fail. If you did not start the engine, then you
can stop these services. For example, the following commands stop the backend services in RHEL 7:
systemctl stop rabbitmq-server.service
systemctl stop mariadb.service
systemctl stop openstack-keystone.service
To interact with the Heat engine, you use its provided credentials in your user directory.
The
clientrc file that contains the Heat engine credentials also contains the
credentials for the Keystone identity service. Run the following
commands:
source ~/clientrc
openstack endpoint list
heat stack-list
You can also interact with only the Keystone identity service by using its prepared
credentials files in your user directory. Run this command to load the credentials
file:
source ~/keystonerc
For version 6.2.2 and later, run the following
command:
openstack endpoint list
Because the keystone command line interface is
deprecated, run commands against the OpenStack client instead. See the OpenStack
documentation.
After you start the OpenStack services for the Heat engine, you can access the
REST API at the following URL: http://host_name:8004.
