Xen (XCP-XAPI) on Precise (Ubuntu 12.04)
This page should contain a sequence of operations to install an XCP-XAPI hypervisor on top of Precise, to get started with OpenStack.
Setup base system
Install a minimal system (Press F4 during the CD install)
Select only an OpenSSH Server when asked
Other requirements:
- An empty partition - in my case `/dev/sda7` (should not contain LVM pv s)
- `eth0` connected to a network with a DHCP server
XCP-XAPI with bridge networking
All the following commands must be executed as root. At the moment you need to perform some post install fixes in case of bridge networking.
Instal Packages
Update your system
apt-get update apt-get -y dist-upgrade
Select your desired network configuration, so that it won't ask for it. At the moment the installer seems to ignore this bit, but it is useful to avoid popping up the ui window.
echo "xcp-networkd xcp-xapi/networking_type select bridge" | debconf-set-selections
Install XCP-XAPI and its dependencies
apt-get install -y ntp ethtool rsync ssmtp strace gdb build-essential xcp-xapi
Post Install Fixes
Select xapi as your default toolstack
echo 'TOOLSTACK=xapi' > /etc/default/xen
Change your network configuration to bridge
echo 'bridge' > /etc/xcp/network.conf
Modify your grub configuration, so on next reboot you will be booting up xen
mv /etc/grub.d/20_linux_xen /etc/grub.d/09_linux_xen update-grub2
Keymap location fix
ln -s qemu-linaro /usr/share/qemu
Configure your network
echo 'auto lo' > /etc/network/interfaces echo 'iface lo inet loopback' >> /etc/network/interfaces echo 'auto xenbr0' >> /etc/network/interfaces echo 'iface xenbr0 inet dhcp' >> /etc/network/interfaces echo ' bridge_ports eth0' >> /etc/network/interfaces
Hack xend init script
sed -i "s/\\\$XEND status && return 1/return 0/" /etc/init.d/xend
Disable services
update-rc.d xendomains disable
Disable openvswitch
update-rc.d openvswitch-switch disable
Reboot your server
reboot
SR Configuration
Save your desired SR device to a shell variable
SRDEVICE=/dev/sda7
Create an SR from your SRDEVICE
. /etc/xcp/inventory SR=$(xe sr-create \ host-uuid=$INSTALLATION_UUID \ type=ext \ name-label='Local storage' \ device-config:device=$SRDEVICE)
Set the newly created SR to be the pool default
POOL=$(xe pool-list --minimal) sudo xe pool-param-set uuid=$POOL default-SR=$SR
