Description

Grizzly


Folsom


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.
