This article will demonstrate that how to stop and start the Openstack services on Ubuntu when you have done the installation through the devstack method. If you followed the devstack method for deploying the openstack, there are some set of scripts will be available to perform the stop and start openstack services without much pain. This script can be added to the Linux start up scripts in rc.local or /etc/rc.3d. In this article ,we will see that how to stop the running openstack services and start manually. Openstack services will not automatically start unless you add in to the start-up scripts or start it manually.
[box type=”warning” align=”” class=”” width=””]If you do not stop the openstack service properly prior to the system reboot ,there is a high chance of corrupting the openstack DB.[/box]
This article will cover other know issue with respect to openstack keystone.
Assume that ,we have planned the maintenance for host which requires the reboot. Before going to reboot the sever , you need to stop the openstack services properly.
1. Navigate to the /opt/stack/devstack directory. Run ./unstack.sh to stop the openstack services gracefully.
stack@uacloud:~/devstack$ ./unstack.sh Site keystone disabled. To activate the new configuration, you need to run: service apache2 reload * Stopping web server apache2 * * Starting web server apache2 * Stopping web server apache2 * tgt stop/waiting stack@uacloud:~/devstack$
2. Halt the server . (If you have any maintenance planned)
3. Once the maintenance has been completed, power on the server.
4. Once the OS is booted, navigate to ~stack/devstack/ & rejoin-stack.sh . This script will bring up all the openstack services.
