Hi,

Devstack is intended for development, so when you reboot it is not expecting to 
be able to preserve any information, and will give you a fresh environment to 
continue development on.

The XenServer devstack installation uses a separate VM, but devstack is 
automatically run at boot, as there is no information preserved.  It should 
also delete any VMs that were running from the previous devstack run while it 
is starting up.


1)      Unfortunately not; starting of the services is tightly coupled with the 
setup and there is an assumption that *anything* may have changed (from IPs to 
configuration in localrc)

2)      Possibly; but my understanding is it would be quite tricky.  Devstack 
assumes access to the Ubuntu repositories as well as various other sources for 
pip, URLs for images and probably others.

I know that Mirantis OpenStack can work without internet access 
(https://www.mirantis.com/blog/using-fuel-control-repositories-openstack-deployment/)
 and there is a XenServer plugin for Fuel available from 
https://www.mirantis.com/products/openstack-drivers-and-plugins/fuel-plugins/
Check out

 for an easy guide to set this environment up on a single XenServer host, or

 for the user guide

Thanks,

Subject: [openstack-dev] [devstack]Question about using Devstack

Hi,
I'm using devstack to deploy stable/Kilo in my Xenserver.
I successfully deploy devstack. But I found that every time I restart it, 
devstack always run ./stack.sh to clear all my data and resintall all the 
components.
So here comes  the questions.

1) Can I stop devstack from reinstalling after rebooting and just use the 
openstack installed successfully last time.
I've tried  replacing the stack.sh with another blank shell script to stop it 
running. Then  It didn't reinstall the services after rebooting.  However, some 
services didn't start successfully.

2) I found that devstack will exit if it is unable to connect the Internet when 
rebooting.
Is there any way I can reboot devstack successfully without connection to the 
Internet after I've install it successfully with connection to the Internet.

Thanks in advance !  :)
