DevStack and XenServer
DevStack is a great way to get started with OpenStack. XenServer and XCP are great ways to use the Xen hypervisor that powers some of the world's biggest clouds.
To get started, you first you need to install XenServer or XCP on a physical machine.
Then there are two possible ways forward:
- Create your own Ubuntu PV VM on your XenServer, set VIRT_DRIVER=xenserver, and then run stack.sh
- Use tools/xen to build an Ubuntu PV VM for you
Installing DevStack on your own Ubuntu paravirtualized VM
This is not really heavily tested, you are probably best looking at the approach below.
Please note:
- The VM must be running in PV mode (/sys/hypervisor/uuid is needed)
- It must be on the same hypervisor as the one you are managing
Installing DevStack by generating an Ubuntu xva
The basic process is:
- Install XenServer
- Prepare XenServer Dom0 (installs xapi plugins, and Open vSwitch isolation rules)
- Create DevStack config file, that matches your setup
- Create Ubuntu xva image
- Install xva on XenServer
You can read more about this in the readme:
(More details coming soon...)
