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 --no-check-certificate 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.
|
|
|
|
cat > /root/devstack/localrc <<EOF
|
|
MYSQL_PASSWORD=my_super_secret
|
|
SERVICE_TOKEN=my_super_secret
|
|
ADMIN_PASSWORD=my_super_secret
|
|
RABBIT_PASSWORD=my_super_secret
|
|
# This is the password for your guest (for both stack and root users)
|
|
GUEST_PASSWORD=my_super_secret
|
|
# IMPORTANT: The following must be set to your dom0 root password!
|
|
XENAPI_PASSWORD=my_super_secret
|
|
# 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
|
|
EOF
|
|
|
|
Step 4: Run ./build_domU.sh
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
This script does a lot of stuff, it is probably best to read it in its entirety.
|
|
But in a nutshell, it performs the following:
|
|
|
|
* Configures bridges and vlans for public, private, and management nets
|
|
* Creates and installs a OpenStack all-in-one domU in an HA-FlatDHCP configuration
|
|
* A script to create a multi-domU (ie. head node separated from compute) configuration is coming soon!
|
|
|
|
Step 5: Do cloudy stuff!
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
* Play with horizon
|
|
* Play with the CLI
|
|
* Log bugs to devstack and core projects, and submit fixes!
