Processing module. OpenStack

Integration

Integration is configured in the process of creating a service processing module in BILLmanager.

To create a service processing module, enter Integration → Processing modules → click Add. The processing module adding wizard consists of the following steps:

1. Product type: select "Virtual Data Center".
2. Processing module: select "OpenStack".
3. Integration settings. Specify the data for integration:
   
   1. OpenStack version — the OpenStack version for which the processing module will be configured. The module is guaranteed to work only with Pike and Wallaby versions.
   2. URL — the address to connect to the API. Specify the URL of the server on which the OpenStack control panel is installed.
   3. Username — the name of the account for authorization in OpenStack. Use an account with administrator permissions.
   4. Password — the password for the account.
   5. OpenStack domain — the domain on the OpenStack side to host a virtual data center (VDC). Specify the domain if you are using a multi-domain architecture. You can leave the field blank. In this case the default domain will be used: "Default".
   6. Private networks — networks for allocating subnets that clients will be able to use when creating VDC networks.
   7. Enable oversold cores — an option to sell CPU cores with overselling.

   8. Hypervisor group for oversold cores is one of the hypervisor groups created on the OpenStack side. Cores will be allocated from the specified group to VMs ordered through this processing module.

      Note

      If a non-existent group is specified, the "Not enough resources to create a new virtual server" error is displayed when adding a virtual machine to the VDC. 
4. Processing module parameters. Configure internal (within BILLmanager) parameters of the service processing module:
   1. Data center — select the data center in BILLmanager to which the processing module will be connected.
   2. Name — specify the name of the processing module to be displayed in the BILLmanager interface.
   3. Department — select the department to which tasks from the processing module will be assigned.
   4. Sort — specify the processing module’s priority. If more than one processing module is connected to a tariff plan, the processing module with the lowest priority is selected first when creating the service.

When you connect to OpenStack for the first time, the processing module will load the available values of Disk Type, Operating System and Virtual Server Template into BILLmanager. Subsequently, the available values are synchronized by a scheduler job:

/usr/local/mgr5/sbin/mgrctl -m billmgr processing.getconfig >/dev/null 2>&1
