packstack
packstack [options]
packstack --gen-answer-file=<file> [options] / packstack --answer-file=<file>

The third option allows the user to generate a default answer file, edit the default options, and finally run Packstack a second time using this answer file. This is the easiest way to run Packstack.

So the command is,

[root @linux1 ~] packstack --gen-answer-file=/root/answer.txt

Edit the answer.txt file to set the needed parameters as per the requirement. We can choose, which services are need to be installed using this answer file.

Step 4: Install Openstack Mitaka Cloud using answer file

Execute the below command to start the Openstack Mitaka installation.

[root @linux1 ~] packstack --answer-file /root/answer.txt

Once the Installation process is completed, See the last few lines from the output of the above command, which will show you the dashboard link and your login credentials will be stored in the file "keystonerc_admin" under your home directory.
