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 + Openstack development environment. This file gives some pointers on how to get started. 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 Here are some sample Xenserver network settings for when you are just getting started (I use settings like this with a lappy + 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: Prepare DOM0 ------------------- At this point, your server is missing some critical software that you will need to run devstack (like git). Do this to install required software: wget https://github.com/cloudbuilders/devstack/raw/xen/tools/xen/prepare_dom0.sh chmod 755 prepare_dom0.sh ./prepare_dom0.sh This script will also clone devstack in /root/devstack Step 3: Configure your localrc ----------------------------- 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. cd /root/devstack cat > /root/devstack/localrc <
