Starting the blueprint designer, cloud discovery service, and engine

To start the blueprint designer and its associated services, you must start the cloud discovery service, the blueprint design server, and the engine Heat services.

About this task

Depending on your system configuration, these components might be on different computers. Be sure to start the cloud discovery service, the blueprint design server, and the engine Heat services on the correct computers.

Starting the cloud discovery service

Procedure

Start the cloud discovery service: On Linux:

For version 6.2.1.1 and later, on Linux systems that manage services with the systemd system manager, use the systemctl command:
```
systemctl start ibm-cloud-discovery.service
```
Note: If you start the cloud discovery service with the systemctl command, you must use the systemctl command to stop the cloud discovery service.
For version 6.2.1.1 and later, on Linux systems that do not use the systemd system, run the following command:
```
cloud-discovery-service &
```
For versions 6.2.0.2 through version 6.2.1, run the following command:
```
cloud-discovery-service &
```

For versions before 6.2.0.2, run the following command:

/opt/ibm-ucd-patterns/opt/udeploy-patterns-cloud-discovery-service/runserver
    &

On Windows:

For version 6.2.0.2 and later, run the following command:
```
C:\python_installation_directory\Scripts\cloud-discovery-service.exe
```
Use the location where Python is installed for python_installation_directory. The default installation directory is C:\Python27. By default, the command looks like this code:
```
C:\Python27\Scripts\cloud-discovery-service.exe
```
For versions before 6.2.0.2, run the following command:
```
server_installation_directory\opt\udeploy-patterns-cloud-discovery-service\runserver.exe
```
Use the location of the blueprint design server installation for server_installation_directory. The default installation directory is C:\Program Files\ibm-ucd-patterns. By default, the command looks like this code:
```
C:\Program Files\ibm-ucd-patterns\opt\udeploy-patterns-cloud-discovery-service\runserver
```

Starting the engine Heat services

Procedure

Restart the engine database.
- For version 6.2.1.1 and later versions, which use MariaDB on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) version 7, run the following command:
```
systemctl start mariadb.service
```
- For versions before 6.2.1.1, which use MySQL on RHEL 6, run the following command:
```
service mysqld start
```
Restart the RabbitMQ service.
- For version 6.2.1.1 and later versions, which are compatible with RHEL 7, run the following command:
```
systemctl start rabbitmq-server.service
```
- For versions before 6.2.1.1, which are compatible with RHEL 6, run the following command:
```
service rabbitmq-server start
```

Start the Heat services.

For version 6.2.1.1 and later versions, which are compatible with RHEL 7, run the following commands:

systemctl start openstack-heat-engine.service

systemctl start openstack-heat-api.service

systemctl start openstack-heat-api-cfn.service

systemctl start openstack-heat-api-cloudwatch.service

For versions before 6.2.1.1, which are compatible with RHEL 6, run the following commands:

service openstack-heat-engine start

service openstack-heat-api start

service openstack-heat-api-cfn start

service openstack-heat-api-cloudwatch start

If you use the default Keystone service that is provided with the engine, start it.
- For version 6.2.1.1 and later versions, which are compatible with RHEL 7, run the following command:
```
systemctl start openstack-keystone.service
```
- For versions before 6.2.1.1, which are compatible with RHEL 6, run the following command:
```
service openstack-keystone start
```

Starting the blueprint design server

Procedure

Start the blueprint design server:

On Linux, run the following command:
```
server_installation_directory/bin/server start
```
Use the location of the blueprint design server installation for server_installation_directory. The default installation directory is /opt/ibm-ucd-patterns. By default, the command looks like the following code:
```
/opt/ibm-ucd-patterns/bin/server start
```
On Windows, run the following command:
```
C:\server_installation_directory\bin\start_server
```
Use the location of the blueprint design server installation for server_installation_directory. The default installation directory is C:\Program Files\ibm-ucd-patterns. By default, the command looks like the following code:
```
"C:\Program Files\ibm-ucd-patterns\bin\start_server"
```
