* If you have any issues with the installer or code, please file a bug, or [http://ask.cloudbase.it/questions/ ask a question].
 +
 
 +
== Code ==
 +
 
 +
* The current development is now integrated within the core projects including nova, neutron, cinder, ceilometer, networking-hyperv, os-win, os-vif, os-brick, designate, and others.
 +
* We are currently tracking and preparing for the '''Pike''' milestones.
 +
* Bug can be filed using the standard [[OpenStack]] practices.

Essex

  • 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.
