You can also configure OpenStack to inject a random root password into the
instance on boot (documentation pending: https://review.openstack.org/58427).


Assuming you're using KVM:

In havana, in /etc/nova/nova.conf:

[libvirt]
inject_password=true

In grizzly and earlier:

[DEFAULT]
libvirt_inject_password=true


When you boot the instance, the output of the "nova boot" command should
show you the randomly generated root password.

You can also set the root password by doing:

nova root-password <server>

Note that the image must be configured to allow incoming ssh as root. I
don't know if the RHEL image has been configured this way.

OpenStack assumes by default that the first partition is the one that
contains the root filesystem (in particular, the one with /etc). Otherwise,
you'll have to muck about with the (libvirt_)inject_partition config option.
