Distributions might release OpenStack packages as part of their distribution or through other methods because the OpenStack and distribution release times are independent of each other.
This section describes the configuration you must complete after you configure machines to install the latest OpenStack packages.
Use the Open Build Service repositories for Icehouse based on your openSUSE or SUSE Linux Enterprise Server version.
For openSUSE 13.1 use:
# zypper addrepo -f obs://Cloud:OpenStack:Icehouse/openSUSE_13.1 Icehouse
If you use SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP3, use:
# zypper addrepo -f obs://Cloud:OpenStack:Icehouse/SLE_11_SP3 Icehouse
The openstack-utils package contains utility programs that make installation and configuration easier. These programs are used throughout this guide. Install openstack-utils. This verifies that you can access the Open Build Service repository:
# zypper install openstack-utils
![[Warning]](../common/images/admon/warning.png) | Warning |
|---|---|
The openstack-config program in the openstack-utils package uses crudini to manipulate configuration files. However, crudini version 0.3 does not support multi valued options. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-manuals/+bug/1269271. As a work around, you must manually set any multi valued options or the new value overwrites the previous value instead of creating a new option. |
Upgrade your system packages:
# zypper refresh # zypper update
If the upgrade included a new kernel package, reboot the system to ensure the new kernel is running:
# reboot
