Enable Experimental Features

Beginning with Fuel 5.1 and in later release versions, experimental features<experimental-features-term> are disabled by default. Experimental features provide useful functionality but may not be mature enough to be appropriate for environments that require high levels of stability.

To enable experimental features, execute the following on a running Fuel Master node. You should do this before creating<create-env-ug> and configuring<configure-env-ug> your environment if you want to have access to Experimental features during those phases, or after you have deployed your cloud if you want to access the experimental features post-deployment. You can also enable Experimental Features after you upgrade<upgrade-patch-top-ug> your Fuel Master to 5.1.

• Log into your Fuel Master console as root.

• Manually modify the /etc/fuel/version.yaml file to add "experimental" to the "feature_groups" list in the "VERSION" section. For example: :

  VERSION:
    ...
    feature_groups:
      - mirantis
      - experimental

• Restart the nailgun-term container with dependencies by running: :

  dockerctl restart nailgun
  dockerctl restart nginx
  dockerctl shell cobbler
  cobbler sync
  exit

For more details about configuring nailgun settings see Extending OpenStack Settings.

Alternatively, you can build a custom ISO with the experimental features enabled: :

make FEATURE_GROUPS=experimental iso
