As long as it's optional, it's ok. I'm not particularly fond of libguestfs.
At all. Using a virtual machine to marshall access to disk images is not my
idea of a good time.

Oh, my bad. This was placed on the Ubuntu roadmap for some time now, so
I assumed it was done... But apparently this was postponed from Natty:

https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/cloud-server-n-kvm-and-hypervisor

So yes, it's not just a merge :)

Only if there are advantages left in using NBD...

Thierry, we could propose libguestfs patch to trunk, but have concerns with
it. First there is no libguestfs package for ubuntu and libguestfs people
still looking for ubuntu mantainer (http://libguestfs.org/FAQ.html#binaries).
We could create PPA if it will be enough for now, but for next openstack
release official packages of libfuestfs will be necessary.  Next one is
architectural: should we add new flag for choosing NBD/libguestfs?

Though almost everyone knows I don't like the injection business, using
libguestfs instead of NBD sounds like a patch that could be welcome in
trunk, given that NBD can be a bit difficult (see bug 719325)...

Re: [Openstack] Availability of RHEL build of Bexar release of OpenStack Nova

2011-02-25 Thread Ewan Mellor
We (Citrix) are installing it on CentOS 5.5 at the moment, so it is possible.  
(I won't bore you with the train of thought that lead to that act of masochism.)

The main problem is that you need to have parallel Python 2.4 and 2.6 
installations, because yum breaks if you try to make 2.6 the primary, but 2.4 
is no good for Nova.  This means that you end up doing loads of tedious 
repackaging.

Ewan.

Great work!

Vishy and termie got jenkins launching ubuntu+kvm and running smoke tests.
There are a few isssues left but I'm excited to increase coverage.

We'd like to add coverage for rhel 5/6 and suse.

We'll write an email about how it works so others can run or contribute
improvements.

2011-02-25 Thread Brian Schott
Our developers here at USC-ISI have been working the SUSE 11.1 side for our GPU 
and UltraViolet machines.  There are some dependencies I'll try to get our 
internal wiki pages pushed out so we can compare notes.  I suspect the 
kernel/kvm and other tools are of the same enterprise vintage as RHEL.  We had 
to hack Python 2.6.6 onto our boxes as a temporary measure, because 2.6.0 is 
what ships.

Hello!

Grid Dynamics is proud to announce public availability of OpenStack Nova
RHEL 6.0 build.
At the moment we have RPMs for Bexar release.

It was tested using KVM hypervisor on real hardware in multi-node mode.
Here are instructions to install & run our build:
http://wiki.openstack.org/NovaInstall/RHEL6Notes

Differences between usual setup and our build:
- we have packages and dependencies (instead of installing nova manually in
/usr/local/bla and doing easy_install for missing modules)
- qcow2 support was enabled utilizing libguestfs instead of missing NBD
- start-stop-daemon used as daemon management library due removed
python-daemon module from Nova
- Nova's logs are located in /var/log/nova and properly logrotated
- network injection code was patched for RHEL path
(/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts) and RHEL template
- all dependencies are located in separate repository.

Enjoy and please contribute all packaging bugs to me!
