I'm trying to install Openstack Mitaka via RDO packstack. I'm following this tutorial. It completely alligns with the official doc.
I'm making sure that I have internet connectivity and that my hostname is resolving (by putting it in the /etc/hosts file). When I install Openstack via packstack --allinone, I see the puppet scripts executing but after a while it hangs.
When I then try to ping my Centos machine it fails. I have no clue why this is as I verified the ping worked before I started the install. It must happen during the packstack installation process.
I have tried now 4 times, reinstalling Centos and Packstack and the behaviour is consistent. I'm running on Virtualbox and my network is in Bridge mode.
Any ideas?
I found out that packstack during installation changed my IP address. Not sure why or how, but it was different at some point in time. So the key is to set a static IP address in the
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-enp0s3file and also ensure your hostname resolves (by setting it in the/etc/hostsfile)
