When configuring networking on the compute node using nova-network,

step 3 Restart networking:

fails as follows:

root@compute:~# service networking stop && service networking start
stop: Job failed while stopping

Sep 25 16:54:23 compute kernel: [ 224.738587] init: networking post-stop process (10940) terminated with status 100

root@compute:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface

I'm not sure how these commands got back into the installation guide. They've never worked and rebooting is the easiest route for finalizing network configuration.

    Update basic environment content for Juno

    I updated basic environment content in the installation guide
    for Juno as follows:

    1) Restructured and clarified OpenStack package procedures.
    2) Removed RHEL/CentOS 6.5 special cases and workarounds.
    3) Changed RHEL/CentOS to use systemd.
    4) Improved SLES/openSUSE sysv/systemd steps.
    5) Clarified firewall/security content.
    6) Indicated that rebooting is necessary to activate network
       changes on Ubuntu and Debian.
    7) Removed Python MySQL library from non-controller nodes
       because the services running on them no longer directly
       interact with the database. I'm looking at you,
       nova-network.
    8) Other minor fixes.
