VMware Integrated OpenStack
Administration Guide
The VMware Integrated OpenStack Administration Guide shows you how to perform administrative tasks
in VMware Integrated OpenStack, including how to create and manage projects, users, accounts, flavors,
images, and networks.
Intended Audience
This guide is for cloud administrators who want to create and manage resources with an OpenStack
®
deployment that is fully integrated with VMware vSphere . To do so successfully, you should be familiar
with the OpenStack components and functions.
Terminology
For definitions of terms as they are used in this document, see the VMware Glossary at https://
www.vmware.com/topics/glossary and the OpenStack Glossary at https://docs.openstack.org/doc-contrib-
guide/common/glossary.html.

Deployment Configuration
You can modify the configuration of your VMware Integrated OpenStack deployment to add capacity,
enable profiling, update credentials, and change or customize various settings.
This chapter includes the following topics:
n Add Capacity to an OpenStack Deployment
n Modify Management and API Access Networks
n Update Component Credentials
n Add Certificates to Your Deployment
n Configure Public API Rate Limiting
n Create a Custom Theme for the VMware Integrated OpenStack Dashboard
n Profile OpenStack Services
n Create a Tenant Virtual Data Center
Add Capacity to an OpenStack Deployment
You can add compute clusters and datastores to an existing VMware Integrated OpenStack deployment.
Add Compute Clusters to Your Deployment
You can add compute clusters to your VMware Integrated OpenStack deployment to increase processing
capacity.
Prerequisites
In vSphere, create the cluster that you want to add to your deployment.
If you want to add compute clusters from a separate compute vCenter Server instance, the following
restrictions apply:
n You must deploy VMware Integrated OpenStack in HA mode with NSX-T Data Center networking.
Other deployment and networking modes do not support adding compute clusters from separate
vCenter Server instances.
n You cannot add compute clusters from separate compute vCenter Server instances in the same
availability zone.

VMware Integrated OpenStack Administration Guide
Procedure
1 In the vSphere Web Client, select Home > VMware Integrated OpenStack.
2 Open the Manage tab.
3 If you want to add compute clusters from a separate vCenter Server instance, first add the instance to
your deployment.
a Select the Compute vCenter Server tab.
b Click the Add (plus sign) icon at the top left of the pane.
c Enter the FQDN of the vCenter Server instance and administrator credentials and click OK.
4 Select the Nova Compute tab.
5 Click the Add (plus sign) icon at the top left of the pane.
6 Select the vCenter Server instance and availability zone for the compute cluster that you want to add
and click Next.
7 Select the new compute cluster and click Next.
The cluster you select must contain at least one host.
8 Select one or more datastores for the compute cluster to consume and click Next.
9 Select the management virtual machine and desired datastore and click Next.
10 Review the proposed configuration and click Finish.
The processing capacity of your deployment increases accordingly with the size of the additional compute
cluster.
Add Storage to a Compute Node
You can increase the number of datastores available to a compute node in your VMware Integrated
OpenStack deployment.
Adding a datastore causes the compute service to restart and might temporarily interrupt OpenStack
services.
Procedure
1 In the vSphere Web Client, select Home > VMware Integrated OpenStack.
2 Open the Manage tab.
3 Open the Nova Storage tab and click the Add (plus sign) icon at the top left of the pane.
4 Select the cluster to which you want to add a datastore and click Next.
5 Select one or more datastores to add to the cluster and click Next.
6 Review the proposed configuration and click Finish.
The storage capacity for the selected compute node increases accordingly with the size of the additional
datastore.
