Introduction

This site hosts the documentation for the F5® OpenStack OpenStack Neutron LBaaSv1 plugin and agent, used to deploy F5® BIG-IP® services in OpenStack. You can access the source code and download release packages at F5Networks/f5-openstack-lbaasv1.

Installation

Debian/Ubuntu

    $ dpkg -i build/deb_dist/f5-bigip-common_9.0.1-final_all.deb

  2. Install the plugin driver.

    $ dpkg -i build/deb_dist/f5-lbaas-driver_9.0.1-final_all.deb

  3. Install the plugin agent.

    $ dpkg -i build/deb_dist/f5-bigip-lbaas-agent_9.0.1-final_all.deb

RedHat/CentOS

    $ rpm -i build/el7/f5-bigip-common_9.0.1-final.noarch.el7.rpm

  2. Install the plugin driver.

    $ rpm -i build/el7/f5-lbaas-driver-9.0.1-final.noarch.el7.rpm

  3. Install the agent.

    $ rpm -i build/el7/f5-bigip-lbaas-agent-9.0.1-final.noarch.el7.rpm

Upgrading

If you are upgrading from an earlier version, F5 recommends that you uninstall the current version before installing the new version.

Note

Perform the following steps on every server running the F5® agent.

  1. Make a copy of the F5 agent configuration file. An existing configuration file in /etc/neutron will be overwritten during installation.

    $ cp /etc/neutron/f5-oslbaasv1-agent.ini ~/

  2. Stop and remove the old version of the libraries, plugin driver and agent.

    Debian/Ubuntu

    $ sudo service f5-oslbaasv1-agent stop
$ dpkg -r f5-bigip-common f5-lbaas-driver f5-bigip-lbaas-agent

    Red Hat/CentOS

    $ sudo service f5-oslbaasv1-agent stop
$ yum remove f5-bigip-common.noarch f5-oslbaasv1-agent.noarch f5-oslbaasv1-driver.noarch

  3. Follow the installation instructions in the previous section.

  4. Restore the F5 agent configuration file.

    Compare the backup file with the new one created during installation to make sure only the necessary settings for your deployment are modified. Then, copy your configuration file back into /etc/neutron/.

    $ cp ~/f5-oslbaasv1-agent.ini /etc/neutron/f5-oslbaasv1-agent.ini
