Obsolete:XenServer/NovaFlags
Nova flags for XenServer
When configuring Nova and XenServer, please take care with the following settings in nova.conf
Networking
For more information on networking, see:
Flat Injection
Unless you know what guests you are having and test this works, it is best to use FlatDHCP, and so turn off the network injection (uses DHCP instead)
flat_injected=False
Connection
It is common to use the "Host Internal Management Network" to contact XenAPI. This means every node can use the same IP address to contact XenServer: 169.254.0.1
You will need to set these flags to talk to XenServer:
xenapi_connection_url=http://169.254.0.1 xenapi_connection_username=root xenapi_connection_password=your_password_goes_here
Note: When using host aggregates you may need to use the IP address of the XenServer on the management network, so the pool can be correctly configured to talk to the other XenServer hosts.
VNC Proxy Address
Assuming you are talking to XenAPI through the host local managmenet network, and XenServer is on the address: 169.254.0.1, you can use the following:
vncserver_proxyclient_address=169.254.0.1
Firewall
The default firewall may be specific to libvirt. There are two options.
- Using IP Tables in mova network:
firewall_driver=nova.virt.firewall.IptablesFirewallDriver
- Doing the isolation in Dom0:
firewall_driver=nova.virt.xenapi.firewall.Dom0IptablesFirewallDriver
