Add error on unitialised variable to the scripts. This way some issues were identified. Also modify README with fresh variables. The patch includes: - Add SWIFT_HASH to the README - Add XENAPI_CONNECTION_URL to the README - Add VNCSERVER_PROXYCLIENT_ADDRESS to the README - Introduce UBUNTU_INST_IFACE which is the OpenStack VM interface used for the netinstall. It defaults to eth3. Previously this parameter was set by the combination of HOST_IP_IFACE and the undocumented NETINSTALL_IP - get rid of NETINSTALL_IP - xenrc includes CLEAN_TEMPLATES - xenrc no longer tries to change directory - remove chrooting from prepare_guest.sh (STAGING_DIR was always / ) - remove DO_TGZ variable from prepare_guest.sh - use arguments to call prepare_guest.sh, instead of env vars - Fix backslash escaping in prepare_guest_template.sh NOTE: networking is about to be addressed in a separate change.

# Getting Started With XenServer 5.6 and Devstack
|
|
The purpose of the code in this directory it to help developers bootstrap
|
|
a XenServer 5.6 (or greater) + Openstack development environment. This file gives
|
|
some pointers on how to get started.
|
|
|
|
Xenserver is a Type 1 hypervisor, so it needs to be installed on bare metal.
|
|
The Openstack services are configured to run within a "privileged" virtual
|
|
machine on the Xenserver host (called OS domU). The VM uses the XAPI toolstack
|
|
to communicate with the host.
|
|
|
|
## Step 1: Install Xenserver
|
|
Install XenServer 5.6+ on a clean box. You can get XenServer by signing
|
|
up for an account on citrix.com, and then visiting:
|
|
https://www.citrix.com/English/ss/downloads/details.asp?downloadId=2311504&productId=683148
|
|
|
|
For details on installation, see: http://wiki.openstack.org/XenServer/Install
|
|
|
|
Here are some sample Xenserver network settings for when you are just
|
|
getting started (Settings like this have been used with a laptop + cheap wifi router):
|
|
|
|
* XenServer Host IP: 192.168.1.10
|
|
* XenServer Netmask: 255.255.255.0
|
|
* XenServer Gateway: 192.168.1.1
|
|
* XenServer DNS: 192.168.1.1
|
|
|
|
## Step 2: Download devstack
|
|
On your XenServer host, run the following commands as root:
|
|
|
|
wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/openstack-dev/devstack/zipball/master
|
|
unzip -o master -d ./devstack
|
|
cd devstack/*/
|
|
|
|
## Step 3: Configure your localrc inside the devstack directory
|
|
Devstack uses a localrc for user-specific configuration. Note that
|
|
the XENAPI_PASSWORD must be your dom0 root password.
|
|
Of course, use real passwords if this machine is exposed.
|
|
|
|
cat > ./localrc <<EOF
|
|
MYSQL_PASSWORD=my_super_secret
|
|
SERVICE_TOKEN=my_super_secret
|
|
ADMIN_PASSWORD=my_super_secret
|
|
SERVICE_PASSWORD=my_super_secret
|
|
RABBIT_PASSWORD=my_super_secret
|
|
SWIFT_HASH="66a3d6b56c1f479c8b4e70ab5c2000f5"
|
|
# This is the password for the OpenStack VM (for both stack and root users)
|
|
GUEST_PASSWORD=my_super_secret
|
|
|
|
# XenAPI parameters
|
|
# IMPORTANT: The following must be set to your dom0 root password!
|
|
XENAPI_PASSWORD=my_xenserver_root_password
|
|
XENAPI_CONNECTION_URL="http://address_of_your_xenserver"
|
|
VNCSERVER_PROXYCLIENT_ADDRESS=address_of_your_xenserver
|
|
|
|
# Do not download the usual images yet!
|
|
IMAGE_URLS=""
|
|
# Explicitly set virt driver here
|
|
VIRT_DRIVER=xenserver
|
|
# Explicitly set multi-host
|
|
MULTI_HOST=1
|
|
# Give extra time for boot
|
|
ACTIVE_TIMEOUT=45
|
|
# Host Interface, i.e. the interface on the nova vm you want to expose the
|
|
# services on. Usually eth2 (management network) or eth3 (public network) and
|
|
# not eth0 (private network with XenServer host) or eth1 (VM traffic network)
|
|
# The default is eth3.
|
|
# HOST_IP_IFACE=eth3
|
|
|
|
# Settings for netinstalling Ubuntu
|
|
# UBUNTU_INST_RELEASE=precise
|
|
|
|
# First time Ubuntu network install params
|
|
# UBUNTU_INST_IFACE="eth3"
|
|
# UBUNTU_INST_IP="dhcp"
|
|
EOF
|
|
|
|
## Step 4: Run `./install_os_domU.sh` from the `tools/xen` directory
|
|
|
|
cd tools/xen
|
|
./install_os_domU.sh
|
|
|
|
Once this script finishes executing, log into the VM (openstack domU) that it
|
|
installed and tail the run.sh.log file. You will need to wait until it run.sh
|
|
has finished executing.
|
|
|
|
## Step 5: Do cloudy stuff!
|
|
* Play with horizon
|
|
* Play with the CLI
|
|
* Log bugs to devstack and core projects, and submit fixes!
|
|
|
|
## Step 6: Run from snapshot
|
|
If you want to quicky re-run devstack from a clean state,
|
|
using the same settings you used in your previous run,
|
|
you can revert the DomU to the snapshot called `before_first_boot`
|
