• The Openstack mailing lists can also be used for communication.
• If you have any issues with the installer or code, please file a bug, or report them to Jordan Rinke <jordan@openstack.org>, Peter Pouliot <ppouliot@microsoft.com> or Alessandro Pilotti <ap@pilotti.it>.

Code

• The current development is now integrated within the core Nova project.
• We are currently preparing for the RC1 Folsom milestone.
• Bug can be filed using the standard OpenStack practices.

Description

• The OpenStack Essex Compute Node includes various fixes, the added features mentioned above, and a service based installer.
• Python 2.7.x (32-bit) is required and MUST be installed first.
• The installer uses the Essex stable source with some back-ported changes to allow this to run as a service on windows.
• In the nova\tools\windows\msi_installer folder there is an example_nova.conf file you can use for the settings specific to Hyper-V.
• Because this runs as a service on Windows which is a bit different than Linux, your nova.conf file needs to be put in nova\bin within your OpenStack installation directory.
• You can also feel free to patch the installer and submit a pull request to the Punchy Code repo mentioned above.
