Hi Sisu, You can easily convert a VM running all services in devstack to one running just the services needed for compute (nova-compute and nova-network in the case of the stock method for setting up devstack with XenServer).
There is a script at https://github.com/citrix-openstack/qa/blob/master/connect-devstack-local.sh - download this to the devstack instance you want to just run compute services, and run it passing the IP address of the devstack that hosts the rest of the services. If you’ve got a split of where the other services are, check out the details in the script – it’s actually quite simple to change hosts in the localrcs. Note that this will not convert an “AllInOne” devstack to a standalone compute node – it will still be using devstack, but just configuring it to run only the compute services. Thanks, Bob From: Sisu Xi [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 17 January 2014 17:31 To: [email protected] Subject: [Openstack] Turn a XenServer AllInOne Node into a Compute Node? Hi, I was having trouble configuring a XenServer Node into an computer Node, the tutorial/devstack are all for using XenServer as a single allinone node. For example, I found this really nice VM image from citrix at: http://downloads.vmd.citrix.com/OpenStack/ which includes pre-build XenServer patch and images. I can just import them into XenServer and everything works. Is there any easy way to turn this AllInOne XenServer Node into just a compute node? Of course I have another machine works as the controller node, installed following the OpenStack installation guide. Thanks very much!
