Obsolete:NovaInstallFestInstructions

Revision as of 21:54, 20 July 2010 by JordanRinke (talk) (Fixing / Tagging my edit properly.)

These is the stuff that you need to basically cut and paste to a fresh cloud server to get nova up and running:

If you need a Cloud Server during the install fest, visit here: http://etherpad.openstack.org/HackDay-Slices

If you're having problems this is the order of all the steps:

DO THIS AS ROOT!

#Lucid Slice

#Paste these:

echo 'deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/soren/nova/ubuntu lucid main' >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/soren-nova.list
echo 'deb http://173.203.107.207/ubuntu ./' >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/soren-nova.list
gpg --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys AB0188513FD35B23
gpg -a --export AB0188513FD35B23 | apt-key add -
apt-get update
apt-get install python-mox screen nova-compute nova-api nova-objectstore redis-server rabbitmq-server euca2ools unzip parted

# Then these:

/etc/init.d/nginx restart
nova-manage user admin ant
nova-manage project create antproj ant
nova-manage project zip antproj ant
unzip nova.zip

# If running in a slice, swap kvm for qemu:

sed -i -e "s/domain type='kvm'/domain type='qemu'/" -e s'!/usr/bin/kvm!/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64!g' /usr/share/nova/libvirt.xml.template
. novarc

#Run screen and paste this for the object store:
python /usr/bin/nova-objectstore --flagfile=/etc/nova/nova-objectstore.conf --nodaemonize start

#Detach and check if object store is runningrun these:

wget -q -O - http://173.203.107.207/ubuntu-lucid.tar | tar xSv
euca-bundle-image -i vmlinuz-2.6.32-23-server --kernel true
euca-bundle-image -i initrd.img-2.6.32-23-server --ramdisk true
euca-bundle-image -i ubuntu-lucid.img
euca-upload-bundle -b mybucket -m /tmp/vmlinuz-2.6.32-23-server.manifest.xml
euca-upload-bundle -b mybucket -m /tmp/initrd.img-2.6.32-23-server.manifest.xml
euca-upload-bundle -b mybucket -m /tmp/ubuntu-lucid.img.manifest.xml

#Restart the api in another screen (you may need to remove a lock file):

python /usr/bin/nova-api --flagfile=/etc/nova/nova-api.conf stop
python /usr/bin/nova-api --flagfile=/etc/nova/nova-api.conf --nodaemonize --verbose start

#Then paste this:

kernel=$(euca-register mybucket/vmlinuz-2.6.32-23-server.manifest.xml | awk '{print $2}')
ramdisk=$(euca-register mybucket/initrd.img-2.6.32-23-server.manifest.xml | awk '{print $2}')
machine=$(euca-register mybucket/ubuntu-lucid.img.manifest.xml | awk '{print $2}')
euca-run-instances $machine --kernel $kernel --ramdisk $ramdisk
# wait a while
ssh ubuntu@10.0.0.3   # password is ubuntu


Note: Those of you not named soren may want to use different user names and project names.

As we move forward more and more of the above will become unnecessary.

FYI: If you receive an error requiring redis-server 2.0.0rc1 or greater on Ubuntu/Debian you can fix it by doing the following:

Edit /etc/apt/sources.lists to include:

#Experimental
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian experimental main


then Copy/Paste/Execute:

gpg --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-key 9AA38DCD55BE302B
gpg -a --export 9AA38DCD55BE302B | sudo apt-key add -
apt-get update
apt-get -t experimental install redis-server -V


Use the verbose output to confirm the installation is 2.0.0 rc1

Note: if you get an error while trying to run the apt-get update command that references a PGP key, replace the key in the above example with the key in your error message.
