Re: [Openstack] [OpenStack][Nova] deference between live-migration and migrate

The instance will be stopped and afterwards will be moved to the target system of the migration.

[Openstack] OpenStack Essex packages for openSUSE 12.1 and SLES11 SP2 available
Hello everyone. First of all: Thank you everyone for the great job you did! We are happy to be part of this community and looking forward to continue working with you. B1 Systems is happy to announce the availability of OpenStack Essex packages for openSUSE 12.1 and SLES11 SP2 on the Open Build Service of openSUSE. You can find the packages in the project isv:B1-Systems:OpenStack:release:Essex (https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=isv:B1-Systems:OpenStack:release:Essex). The dependencies packages to install these packages are located in the project isv:B1-Systems:OpenStack:release:Essex:requirements (https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=isv:B1-Systems:OpenStack:release:Essex:requirements). For more details have a look at http://wiki.openstack.org/Packaging/SUSE. Please note that it's unfortunately not possible to run OpenStack on of SLES11 SP2 out of the box at the moment because of several not yet fixed issues in the delivered python interpreter. Please contact us using openst...@b1-systems.de to receive patched packages for the python interpreter usable with SLES11 SP2. SUSE is working on patches and we'll keep you informed when OpenStack is working on SLES11 SP2 without the need of patching the Python interpreter. Soon we will publish an updated version of our technical whitepaper of OpenStack Essex on of SLES 11 SP2 and openSUSE 12.1 in german language - which will be available at http://www.b1-systems.de/openstack. We'll provide an english version of the document in the future. If you have any trouble using the packages, if you need further support or if you're looking for enterprise support for OpenStack please don't hesitate to contact us at openst...@b1-systems.de.

Hello together. First of all: Essex is out.. yeah :) I received a mail from dimensionalresearch.com with the subject 3-Minute OpenStack Survey containing the attached text a few minutes ago. It's signed with The OpenStack Team (who is that?) and it's named OpenStack Community Survey. Is this an official request of the OpenStack project initiated by the board? If so: I would really like to see that you write a short announcement before sending requests to participate in a survey. Also I want to now what you'll exactly do with the collected data and if the data will be published after finishing the survey. Bye, Christian. ---snip--- Hello OpenStack Supporter, We would like to invite you to complete a brief survey on your involvement with OpenStack.

Re: [Openstack] Howto Nova setup with HA?
Hi Tristan. So, we can run MySQL in master-master mode on multiple hosts, we can run nova-api on serveral hosts and load balance those and RabbitMQ has a cluster ha setup as well but is this the way to go? I can't find a clear answer to this. I am hoping one can shine some light on this! I would prefer to use MySQL Cluster: http://www.mysql.com/products/cluster/. You meant that with MySQL master-master? For RabbitMQ there are several ways to setup it: http://www.rabbitmq.com/ha.html. I think the customer site has to decide which HA setup they want use.

Re: [Openstack] [DEVSTACK] officialize it!
Hello together. I was wondering if the community could elevate devstack to a official openstack project, instead of being a unofficial project. I think devstack.org is already some kind of official project (provided by Rackspace Cloud Builders). Where is the benefit of becoming a core project? At the moment I only see a lot of overhead (release management, downstream distribution, technical lead, feature frozen zones, ..) without any benefits. Also it would take a lot of efforts (see [0] for details) to set up a new core project. Devstack is an instrument to help and improve the development. I think a core component must have the opportunity to be used in a productive environment and should not only be used to support the development. Can you please describe in more detail what are the benefits of becoming a core project? An other point is that the official CI systems (and I think everybody else, too) are using devstack.org and and that the script is doing a well job. You're starting two discussions in this mail: Should devstack become a part of the core and should devstack be rewritten to Python. I think the discussions should be splitted and I don't see any motivation of the devstack.org developers to join the discussion of a Python rewrite at the moment (maybe I'm wrong). I don't find the definition and requirements of a core project at the moment, but I'm pretty sure that there exist some documents. Maybe it makes sense to define some kind of requirements about OpenStack specific tools used by the official CI, but that's an other discussion.

[Openstack] creating a mailinglist for packaging specific topics?
Hello together. I think it's a good idea to create a mailinglist for packaging specific topics. This list here is IMO not the right place for discussions on such topics, because a lot of people have to read (or at least they have to filter those mails into /dev/null) them and this will waste a huge amount of time, which could be spend more useful topics. The target of this list would be to coordinate the work of packagers of the different distributions to reach more and (hopefully) identical quality and to provide packages just in time with new releases/milestones. Also to have a single point of contact for upcoming packagers and maybe to provide similar sets of packages (for example same naming convention, same versions and so on). Here a few examples I want to discuss in more detail. * what is stability in the point of view of a distributor/packager (the discussion triggered yesterday on the OSDEM on the FOSDEM 2012). I think it's necessary that we have the same point of view to not have a very different stability on different distributions * is it possible (and how) to share efforts between the packaging for different distributions (for example I'm pretty sure that it's possible to create nearly the same SPECs for OpenSUSE/SLES and FedoraCore/RHEL) * is it useful to host all package definitions (SPECs and so on) at a central place (for example at Github in a project openstack/packages or somethink like that) so that everybody can commit to those definitions in an easy and defined way (using gerrit for reviews..)? * should there only be one package set for one distribution or is it better to have different package sets? (for example at the moment SUSE and we (B1) are providing packages on the OpenSUSE Build Service) Bye, Christian. -- Christian Berendt Linux / Unix Consultant Developer Mail: bere...@b1-systems.de B1 Systems GmbH Osterfeldstraße 7 / 85088 Vohburg / http://www.b1-systems.de GF: Ralph Dehner / Unternehmenssitz: Vohburg / AG: Ingolstadt,HRB 3537 ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : openstack@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Re: [Openstack-community] founded first german user group
Fantastic! I wonder if it might not be better to rename it to the specific city where the great majority of your meetups will be? At the moment we have no specific city for meetups and will use events like the CeBIT, OpenRheinRuhr, FrOSCon or Chemnitzer LinuxTage for meetups. So I think for the moment is a general name the better choice. If there will popup more german user groups we can rename this one to a more specific name.

Re: [Openstack] Memory quota in nova-compute nodes.
Hi Jorge. I would like to know if it's possible to configure quota in each nova-compute node. For example, I set up a new hardware with 8 GB of memory and install the nova-compute, but I wish only 4 GB of memory are used (dedicated to nova-compute). Is it possible? If so, how can I configure that? I can't remember such a function at the moment, but it's relative simple to implement such a feature (at least for Linux systems) using cgroups. Can you please describe your use case. At the moment I can't follow where I should use the feature. Why should I install nova-compute on a bare metal system with 32 GByte memory and only use 16 GByte memory?

Momentan befindet sich dieses Feature in der Vorbereitung, die Flavour einer Instanz zu aendern und damit automatisch auch RAM, VCPUs und Storage entsprechend anzupassen. Bislang ist das noch nicht moeglich. Der bereits von mir erwaehnte Workaround ist die Verwendung von nova-volume. Man stellt ein zusaetzliches Volume der Instanz zur Verfuegung und erstellt darauf ein Physical Volume, welches man in die bestehende Volume Group einbindet. Danach ist es dann moeglich bestehende Logical Volumes zu vergroessern. Vom Prinzip her gehoert ein Base Image nie modifiert und vom Prinzip her gehoeren Nutzdaten auch nicht auf das Base Image. Warum muss der Kunde ein bestehendes Logical Volume vergroessern? Meiner Meinung nach ist da beim Design des Base Images schief gelaufen, der Fall sollte gar nicht auftreten. Die Nutzdaten gehoeren nicht im Klon des Base Images hinterlegt sondern auf separaten Volumes/Mountpoints welche _nur_ fuer die Nutzlast da sind. Diese Volumes/Mountpoints werden eben durch nova-volume zur Verfuegung gestellt.
