Hi Ahmed, Thanks for your advice.

It is running and can be connected on browser remotely via Internet. But I failed to get the node running as VM of PC-1, in the same PC. I'll try installing a node as VM of PC-2 later. If failure making the cloud to work I would stop testing cloud computing until solution discovered. > There are hacks to install everything on one node, but > they're just hacks Running virtualization? Cloud computing is NOT a new technology, only the main frame and terminals on the service provider's server. This is a technology of yesterday tracing back to Utility Computing, Grid Engine, etc, several years back. I tested the later at least 4~5 years ago. At that time they were run by universities sharing data. I found following thread:- The Enterprise Cloud: How to Build a Server Demo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6lvKnbws78&feature=mfu_in_order&playnext=1&videos=sIemMxnTfDk Created by Terremark showing how to create a server on Web. Previously I did it in another way creating several servers (nodes), Linux and Windows, on VirtualBox/KVM. Users have full access to the servers over Internet with the IP address and password provided, on command line and GUI (RDP). I think the concept is more or less the same. I have following doubt :- Can the user have full knowhow and experience on monitoring and configuring the server? If YES he/she would build the server themselves, not to down/buy a server. I will be happy to see what new technology will be added to cloud computing in the not too distant future. B.R.

PC-1 To act as cloud controller, cluster controller and storage (walrus, SC) PC-2 To act as "node". You can later on add as many nodes as you want I would be quite hesitant to install any of those as "VMs". There are hacks to install everything on one node, but they're just hacks -- Ubuntu-cloud mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-cloud -- Ubuntu-cloud mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-cloud
