on Openstack Integrating FusionCompute 1 Abstract
1 Abstract
Huawei introduces open, compatible OpenStack with standard application program interfaces
(APIs) to the FusionSphere 5.0 solution, which is a cloud platform solution based on the
OpenStack Havana version. This solution seamlessly interconnects FusionSphere 5.0 solution
and OpenStack Nova services using differentiated Huawei-enhanced kernel-based virtual
machine (KVM) virtualization engines and has been applied in the network function
virtualization (NFV) scenarios in the CT industry.
Huawei FusionCompute is a virtualization component in FusionSphere solutions, is used to
virtualize x86 physical servers and storage area network (SAN) devices, and supports
software-defined networking. Huawei FusionCompute is developed based on the
Huawei-enhanced Xen virtualization engine. With years of development, compared with the
KVM engine, FusionCompute is more mature and the virtualization functions of the
FusionCompute are increased compared with the KVM engine. FusionCompute has been
widely applied in the server consolidation and cloud data center scenarios in the IT industry.
FusionSphere 5.1 allows FusionCompute to interwork with OpenStack. This capability
enables FusionSphere to inherit the openness and compatibility of OpenStack and enhance
differentiated capabilities of virtualizing computing and storage through the FusionCompute
virtualization platform. Therefore, FusionSphere 5.1 is applicable to large-scale cloud data
centers.
This document provides visibility into technologies used in FusionSphere 5.1 OpenStack that
integrates FusionCompute. Upon completion of this document, you will be able to understand
the following information about OpenStack with FusionCompute integrated:
 Architecture
 Functions and features
 Independent technologies for the integration
This document comprises the following chapters:
Chapter 1: provides a brief introduction to OpenStack integrating FusionCompute and
provides guidance on reading this document.
Chapter 2: describes the architecture of OpenStack integrating FusionCompute and provides
an introduction to all components.
Chapter 3: describes functions and features on OpenStack integrating FusionCompute.

Table 2-1 lists the components and their functions.
Component Function
OpenStack Provides the following functions based on OpenStack Juno:
 Computing virtualization: implements seamless
interconnection between OpenStack and OpenStack Nova
service based on FusionCompute drivers and provides mature
and rich virtualization functions, such as live migration, high
availability (HA), and distributed resource scheduling (DRS).
 Storage virtualization: implements seamless interconnection
between OpenStack and OpenStack Cinder service based on
FusionCompute drivers and enables the OpenStack to
interwork with any storage devices that have been certified by
FusionCompute. OpenStack uses FusionCompute to manage
FusionStorage, thereby offering a cost-effective storage
solution.
 Network virtualization: FusionCompute integrates Open
vSwitch (OVS) Agent and connects to OpenStack Neutron to
virtualize the network resources.
FusionCompute connects to Neutron so that FusionCompute

can use the Neutron ecological chain to seamlessly integrate
with third-party network services.
FusionManager Manages hardware and virtual resources in a centralized manner
and provides an integrated and automatic operation and
maintenance (O&M) portal for services and application instances:
 Local FusionManager: Local FusionManager: deployed in
each data center for users to add, configure, monitor, and
maintain resources.
 Top FusionManager: Top FusionManager: deployed in only
one data center for user registration, user deregistration, and
cloud service management.
Cloud Boot Provides basic services, such as bare device installation and
Service (CBS) and OpenStack software deployment, and simplifies OpenStack
Cloud deployment and operation.

3 Functions and Features
3.1 Open OpenStack APIs

OpenStack integrates FusionCompute and provides open OpenStack APIs, thereby facilitating
interconnection with third-party systems.
3.2 Support for OpenStack Services to Build an

Integrated Cloud Data Center
In the FusionSphere 5.1 cloud data center solution, OpenStack integrates FusionCompute to
support comprehensive OpenStack services, including Keystone, Nova, Cinder, Neutron,
Glance, Ceilometer, Heat, and Ironic, and provide end-to-end O&M capabilities.
For details, see the Huawei FusionSphere 5.1 Technical White Paper on Cloud Data Center.
3.3 FusionCompute Virtualization Engine Integration

The Nova driver enables FusionSphere OpenStack to use virtualization functions of
FusionCompute, including live migration, HA, DRS, and CPU quality of services (QoSs).
Cinder driver enables FusionSphere OpenStack to interwork with any storage devices that
have been certified by FusionCompute and to use FusionCompute to manage FusionStorage,
thereby offering a cost-effective storage solution in large-scale cloud data center scenarios.
FusionCompute connects to Ceilometer and reports virtual machines (VM) monitoring data to
Ceilometer. Therefore, tenants can use the monitoring and alarm reporting functions of
Ceilometer and the elastic scaling function of Heat.
FusionCompute integrates the OVS Agent and connects to Neutron so that it can use the
Neutron ecological chain to seamlessly integrate with third-party network services.
By employing Nova and Cinder drivers and the Glance bypass mechanism, FusionSphere
OpenStack allows images to be stored on third-party network file system (NFS) or simple
storage service (S3) components, thereby ensuring high concurrency and high throughput of
the image service and eliminating traffic bottlenecks of the Glance service. In addition,

A Nova host (Nova-compute process) manages one or more clusters of a VRM node, and one
cluster of the VRM node is mapped to a hypervisor on the Nova host.
Multi-hierarchy computing resource scheduling mechanism is as follows:
 Nova-scheduler chooses hypervisor (clusters) based on the service level agreement (SLA)
definitions in an availability zone (AZ), host aggregates, and flavors, and statuses of
hypervisor resources.
 The VRM node chooses hosts using advanced functions of clusters, including DRS and
HA.
