Setup development branch

Install bzr 32 bit from http://launchpad.net/bzr/2.3/2.3b3/+download/bzr-2.3b3.win32-py2.6.exe

cd %HOMEPATH%
mkdir .ssh
(put your id_rsa file for private/public key ssh authentication to launchpad here)

mkdir c:\openstack
cd c:\openstack

set BZR_SSH=paramiko
bzr whoami "Your Name <first.last@doman.tld>"
bzr lp-login <LP ID>
bzr init-repo .

bzr branch lp:nova

cd nova\bin

type nova.conf

Instance Management

Prepare Images

Install a new virtual machine on Hyper-V to create a VHD file: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc732470%28WS.10%29.aspx#BKMK_step3 The VHD file is usually saved in C:\Users\Public\Documents\Hyper-V\Virtual hard disks. If using a local copy (use_s3=False), copy this to C:\Users\Public\Documents\Hyper-V\Virtual hard disks\images\<image name>\image (note this is "image" not "image.vhd" etc. The VHD file needs to be renamed to just "image" in the directory of the name of the image.)
