Installation

The nova-dpm virtualization driver must be installed on every OpenStack compute node that is supposed to manage a z Systems or LinuxONE machine in DPM mode.

This section describes the manual installation of the nova-dpm driver from the upstream OpenStack Git repository.

Normally, you should use the stable Git branch for the OpenStack release you have on the compute node (e.g. for Ocata):

$ nova_dpm=https://github.com/openstack/nova-dpm/tree/stable/ocata

If you want to use the latest development code level of the next OpenStack release, use the master Git branch:

$ nova_dpm=https://github.com/openstack/nova-dpm/tree/master

If the Python packages of your OpenStack installation are in the system Python on the compute node, install the nova-dpm driver with:

$ sudo pip install $nova_dpm

If the Python packages of your OpenStack installation are in a virtual Python environment named venv that was established with virtualenvwrapper, install the nova-dpm driver with:

$ workon venv
$ pip install $nova_dpm

After installing the driver, proceed with its configuration.
