NovaInstall/RHEL6Notes

Here are RPM repos for Bexar release for OpenStack Nova: http://yum.griddynamics.net

To install Nova on RHEL v.6 you need only two repositories cited on above website and RHEL DVD image connected as repo.

Here are instructions:

1. Install RHEL 6.0. I usually prefer minimal set of packages.
2. Connect RHEL 6.0 x86_64 DVD as repository in YUM:

$ sudo mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
$ cat /etc/yum.repos.d/rhel.repo 
[rhel]
name=RHEL 6.0
baseurl=file:///mnt/cdrom/Server
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

1.#3 Download and install repo config and key

$ wget http://yum.griddynamics.net/openstack-repo-2011.1-2.noarch.rpm
$ sudo rpm -i openstack-repo-2011.1-2.noarch.rpm

1.#4 Repeat that setup to all hosts of your cloud

1. Installation on Cloud Controller node

$ sudo yum install openstack-nova-{api,compute,glance,network,objectstore,scheduler,volume} openstack-nova-cc-config

1.#6 Installtion on compute nodes

$ sudo yum install openstack-nova-compute openstack-nova-compute-config

1.#7 Fix your configuration in /etc/nova/nova.conf on all nodes
