Create networks#

The second step in the process of installing Object Storage for RPCO is creating the networks that are needed. Object Storage for RPCO requires the br-storage and br-mgmt networks. These networks are specified in the provider_networks section of the /etc/openstack_deploy/openstack_user_config.yml file.

  1. Open the /etc/openstack_deploy/openstack_user_config.yml file for editing.
  2. In the provider_networks section, add the following network information.
# provider_networks
#   - network:
#       container_bridge: "br-mgmt"
#       container_interface: "eth1"
#       ip_from_q: "container"
#       group_binds:
#         - all_containers
#         - all hosts
#   - network:
#       container_bridge: "br-storage"
#       container_interface: "eth2"
#       ip_from_q: "storage"
#       group_binds:
#         - glance_api
#         - cinder_api
#         - cinder_volume
#         - nova_compute
#         - swift_proxy

To view an annotated example of the openstack_user_config.yml file, see Object Storage configuration files.
