Openstack Liberty
In general, the instructions in the Liberty install guide should be followed: http://docs.openstack.org/liberty/install-guide-ubuntu/overview.html. This guide will describe changes to the documented procedures that should be kept in mind while going through the guide.
Each section below will correspond to a section in the guide. Guide sections that do not have a corresponding section below may be followed as-is.
An image must be configured specially in glance to be able to boot correctly on aarch64.
To attach the devices to the virtio bus (which does not allow hotplugging a volume, but will work if the image does not have SCSI support), the following properties must be set:
--property hw_machine_type=virt --property os_command_line='root=/dev/vda rw rootwait console=ttyAMA0' --property hw_cdrom_bus=virtio
To attach the devices to the SCSI bus (which does allow hotplugging a volume, but might not be supported by the guest image), the following properties must be set:
--property hw_scsi_model='virtio-scsi' --property hw_disk_bus='scsi' --property os_command_line='root=/dev/sda rw rootwait console=ttyAMA0'
You can set these properties when you are uploading the image into glance, or modify the image if you have already uploaded it.
Verify that the linaro-overlay and jessie-backports repositories are enabled.
Check if they are available by checking /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d. If missing, add the following to /etc/apt/sources.list.d directory:
$ echo "deb http://repo.linaro.org/ubuntu/linaro-overlay jessie main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/linaro-overlay-repo.list
$ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys E13D88F7E3C1D56C
If missing, add the following to /etc/apt/sources.list.d directory:
$ echo "deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jessie-backports.list
Create /etc/apt/preferences.d/jessie-backports:
Package: *
Pin: release a=jessie-backports
Pin-Priority: 500
Then, make sure to run apt-get update:
$ sudo apt-get update
Update /etc/hosts to add “controller” as an alias for localhost.
127.0.0.1 localhost controller
Add the following to /etc/sysctl.conf:
net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.eth0.disable_ipv6 = 1
Run sysctl to apply the changes:
$ sudo sysctl -p

The CirrOS image to run on aarch64 is the file that ends in -uec.tar.gz. It must be extracted and each file (kernel, initrd, disk image) uploaded to Glance separately.
Download the CirrOS AArch64 UEC tarball and untar it:
$ wget http://download.cirros-cloud.net/daily/20150923/cirros-d150923-aarch64-uec.tar.gz
$ tar xvf cirros-d150923-aarch64-uec.tar.gz
Upload the image parts into Glance. You will need to make note of the IDs assigned to the kernel and initrd and pass them on the command line when uploading the disk image:
$ glance image-create --name "cirros-kernel" --visibility public --progress \
--container-format aki --disk-format aki --file cirros-d150923-aarch64-vmlinuz
$ glance image-create --name "cirros-initrd" --visibility public --progress \
--container-format ari --disk-format ari --file cirros-d150923-aarch64-initrd
$ glance image-create --name "cirros" --visibility public --progress \
--property hw_machine_type=virt --property hw_cdrom_bus=virtio \
--property os_command_line='console=ttyAMA0' \
--property kernel_id=<kernel_id> --property ramdisk_id=<initrd_id> \
--container-format ami --disk-format ami --file cirros-d150923-aarch64-blank.img
