differences between epel and official RHEL-OpenStack
by Florian La Roche 29 Nov '12

29 Nov '12

Hello, Seems like Red Hat is building the official Red Hat OpenStack product rpms sometimes with the exact same name as the ones within EPEL. The below difference shows that in this case EPEL seems to be a bit ahead, but it also looks like this fix is then also not yet merged into the Folsdom release that should show up for RHEL6.4. There are other rpms where also changes are done to dependencies without any changelog entry. Often with changing the version name, but not always. All this is usually a bad idea. Best regards, Florian La Roche P.S.: A big thanks for providing a current OpenStack in EPEL, that's a huge win for all cloud testers out there. --- Look at changes from python-daemon-1.5.2-1.el6.src.rpm to python-daemon-1.5.2-1.el6.src.rpm old: total 12 drwxrwxr-x. 2 laroche laroche 4096 Nov 29 11:40 . drwxrwxr-x. 4 laroche laroche 4096 Nov 29 11:40 .. -rw-r--r--. 1 laroche laroche 1618 Nov 29 11:40 python-daemon.spec new: total 12 drwxrwxr-x. 2 laroche laroche 4096 Nov 29 11:40 . drwxrwxr-x. 4 laroche laroche 4096 Nov 29 11:40 .. -rw-r--r--. 1 laroche laroche 1671 Nov 29 11:40 python-daemon.spec diff -urN old/python-daemon.spec new/python-daemon.spec --- old/python-daemon.spec 2012-11-29 11:40:02.184712732 +0100 +++ new/python-daemon.spec 2012-11-29 11:40:02.196714905 +0100 @@ -13,7 +13,7 @@ BuildArch: noarch BuildRequires: python-devel, python-setuptools -BuildRequires: python-nose python-lockfile +BuildRequires: python-nose python-lockfile python-minimock Requires: python-lockfile %description @@ -35,6 +35,10 @@ %{__python} setup.py install -O1 --skip-build --root $RPM_BUILD_ROOT +%check +PYTHONPATH=$(pwd) nosetests + + %clean rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT

no sig irc meeting today (but, aws conference!)
by Matthew Miller 28 Nov '12

28 Nov '12

I'm at AWS re:Invent. No SIG meeting -- sorry, I should have sent this out earlier. But, if you are at this conference, I'd love to meet you in person at some point. :) -- Matthew Miller ☁☁☁ Fedora Cloud Architect ☁☁☁ <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org>

cloud-init package dependencies
by Matthew Miller 27 Nov '12

27 Nov '12

cloud-init pulls in some, um, not exactly minimal stuff. python-cheetah? (which then brings in, for example, freetype...) Can we narrow this down without significantly killing functionality? -- Matthew Miller ☁☁☁ Fedora Cloud Architect ☁☁☁ <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org>

cloud-init update
by Garrett Holmstrom 27 Nov '12

27 Nov '12

Hi, everyone, I just pushed the final (i.e. non-snapshot) version of cloud-init 0.7.0 to F18 and rawhide, which fixes a great deal of compatibility bugs, makes most of the plugins work properly, and allows one to configure the users on the system using instance user-data a lot better than previous version. There is one fairly important change to be aware of relative to F17's version: this version allows you to change the user that it creates at startup time (and in fact add even more), so it is recommended to *not* pre-create a user when you build the image. What do we need to do to remove that from Fedora's cloud image kickstart before we start building test images? I'd like to push this to F16 and F17 as well to replace the horribly broken versions that those operating systems shipped with. Any objections? How about EPEL? This update fixes so many issues that I believe it's worth it. -- Garrett Holmstrom

Adding a compute node and quantum configurations
by nux＠li.nux.ro 20 Nov '12

20 Nov '12

Hello, The quantum network side is not covered in https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Getting_started_with_OpenStack_EPEL#Adding_a… so I'm trying to clarify this. On a second node I've followed the instructions in the wiki minus the network obviously since I'm running quantum+openvswitch (hybrid). I'm applying some of the instructions found here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Quantum_V2#Setup but when I'm doing "quantum-server-setup --plugin openvswitch" it's asking me to install mysql, the scripts should be modified to also ask if there's a DB running elsewhere (i.e. on the controller). Anyway, I let it do its thing, install mysql and setup nova.conf, then modified nova.conf with the quantum section from the controller's nova.conf. Now my question is - in this case quantum_admin_auth_url and quantum_url on the node should they point to localhost or to the controller's address? I'm thinking quantum_admin_auth_url should point to the keystone service on the controller's IP and quantum_url should be http://localhost:9696/? Additionally: quantum.conf - qpid_hostname should point to the controller's IP quantum/api-paste.ini - [filter:authtoken] auth_host should be the controller quantum/l3_agent.ini - auth_url should point to the controller plugins/openvswitch/ovs_quantum_plugin.ini - sql_connection should be using the controller's mysql server Let me know if any of that is wrong or I missed some other settings that should be notified.

NIC type (rtl vs virtio)
by nux＠li.nux.ro 19 Nov '12

19 Nov '12

Hi, I notice the VMs are not using the virtio type NICs, but some "Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+". In my experience the virtio device is quite stable, any reason why it's not default? I see that for block device virtio is default. -- Sent from the Delta quadrant using Borg technology!

Quantum issues with Openstack EPEL
by nux＠li.nux.ro 18 Nov '12

18 Nov '12

Hello again, Another problem I have is with Quantum. Same OS: Centos 6.3 + EPEL + EPEL-testing, selinux on, firewall on (as configured by anaconda), Openstack Folsom I have skipped the nova-network section of http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Getting_started_with_OpenStack_EPEL and used this instead: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Quantum_V2#Setup Obviously I have replaced the systemctl commands with service and chkconfig. There is no openvswitch in EL6 yet so I used the one from here http://li.nux.ro/download/tmp/ (git 1.9.90). Except for the above there were some other issues I encountered with the instructions: 1. At the "Please check that the following are in /etc/quantum/l3_agent.ini" section turns out that what I had in my ini file was this: "auth_url = http://127.0.0.1:5000/v2.0/ auth_region = RegionOne admin_tenant_name = admin admin_user = admin admin_password = verybadpass" I commented that out and replaced with the settings from instructions. All the quantum/openvswitch router/soubet/etc add worked (surprisingly). But now I see the following errors: /var/log/quantum/l3-agent.log: 2012-11-17 20:01:44 ERROR [quantum.agent.l3_agent] Error running l3_nat daemon_loop Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/quantum/agent/l3_agent.py", line 171, in daemon_loop self.do_single_loop() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/quantum/agent/l3_agent.py", line 202, in do_single_loop target_ex_net_id = self._fetch_external_net_id() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/quantum/agent/l3_agent.py", line 183, in _fetch_external_net_id ex_nets = self.qclient.list_networks(**params)['networks'] File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/quantumclient/v2_0/client.py", line 102, in with_params ret = self.function(instance, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/quantumclient/v2_0/client.py", line 244, in list_networks return self.get(self.networks_path, params=_params) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/quantumclient/v2_0/client.py", line 525, in get headers=headers, params=params) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/quantumclient/v2_0/client.py", line 510, in retry_request headers=headers, params=params) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/quantumclient/v2_0/client.py", line 447, in do_request resp, replybody = self.httpclient.do_request(action, method, body=body) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/quantumclient/client.py", line 139, in do_request self.authenticate() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/quantumclient/client.py", line 194, in authenticate content_type="application/json") File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/quantumclient/client.py", line 132, in _cs_request raise exceptions.Unauthorized(message=body) Unauthorized: {"error": {"message": "Invalid user / password", "code": 401, "title": "Not Authorized"}} And if I try to boot an (ami) image this is what I get: /var/log/quantum/dhcp-agent.log: 012-11-17 20:04:02 INFO [quantum.agent.dhcp_agent] Synchronizing state 2012-11-17 20:04:02 ERROR [quantum.agent.dhcp_agent] Unable to enable dhcp.

Previously I built & uploaded a Fedora 16 cloud image for use with OpenStack: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/cloud/2012-March/001306.html It took me a while to get around to looking at Fedora 17, but I finally built an equivalent for that too which is available here: http://berrange.fedorapeople.org/images/2012-11-15/ Use as follows # glance image-create \ --container-format bare --disk-format qcow2 \ --name f17-x86_64-openstack-sda \ --copy-from http://berrange.fedorapeople.org/images/2012-11-15/f17-x86_64-openstack-sda… # nova boot \ --key-name demokey \ --image f17-x86_64-openstack-sda \ --flavor m1.tiny \ f17demo1 # nova list # ssh ec2-user@<ip address> Fedora 18 to come in the future, if it ever becomes stable enough to install :-) Regards, Daniel -- |: http://berrange.com -o- http://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: http://entangle-photo.org -o- http://live.gnome.org/gtk-vnc :|

Virtualization DevRoom @ FOSDEM Call for participation
by Dave Neary 16 Nov '12

16 Nov '12

Hi all, The call for participation for the Virtualization DevRoom in FOSDEM in the beginning of February is now online. The conference is choc-a-bloc with free software enthusiasts interested both in virt technologies and in actually using virt software - an excellent audience to spread the word about our virtualization "stuff". http://osvc.v2.cs.unibo.it/index.php/Main_Page There will also be a Cloud DevRoom on the Sunday of FOSDEM: https://lists.fosdem.org/pipermail/fosdem/2012-November/001649.html I hope to see proposals from the Fedora Cloud community for both! Thanks, Dave. -- Dave Neary - Community Action and Impact Open Source and Standards, Red Hat - http://community.redhat.com Ph: +33 9 50 71 55 62 / Cell: +33 6 77 01 92 13

cloud-init on Fedora
by Oved Ourfalli 15 Nov '12

15 Nov '12

Hey, Don't know if I'm on the right mailing-list, but I have some questions regarding cloud-init on Fedora. I've installed it, and saw sample configuration files, but they were all ubuntu-related configuration. How do I install a Fedora guest, and set the proper configuration on the guest to make it configure itself using cloud-init? I'm using oVirt (which supports VM Payload), and I would like to install a Fedora guest, with the proper user data passed as VM payload. Examples containing how to set up Static IP, DNS addresses, and other related properties would be great. Thank you, Oved

cloud sig meeting time and dst
by Matthew Miller 14 Nov '12

14 Nov '12

Soooo if there wasn't enough confusion over moving the meeting time.... Daylight Saving Time is now over in the US. Is it more convenient to keep at the 14:00 UTC time, which is 9am EST and 6am PST, or should we move it back to 15:00 UTC? OpenStack folks, I'm looking at you in particular. :) -- Matthew Miller ☁☁☁ Fedora Cloud Architect ☁☁☁ <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org>

review request -- ec2-metadata
by Matthew Miller 13 Nov '12

13 Nov '12

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=876317 This is a small script from Amazon (http://aws.amazon.com/code/1825) which can pull information from the ec2 metadata service (including compatible ones like that provided by eucalyptus). The cloud-init package is really cool and does all sorts of great stuff, but it's also kind of big. This is all of 7.7k, and together with a simple systemd service to update authorized_keys would provide a reasonable minimal alternative. -- Matthew Miller ☁☁☁ Fedora Cloud Architect ☁☁☁ <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org>

New "Community Management" mailing list
by Justin Clift 13 Nov '12

13 Nov '12

Hi everyone, As per recent thread on the aeolus-devel mailing list, we've created a new "Aeolus Community Management" mailing list. aeolus-comm-mgmt-request(a)lists.fedorahosted.org It's a place to debate, discuss, co-ordinate (etc) our Aeolus Community (development) and Management. No patches. :) If you're interested in Aeolus Community things, but have been put off in the past by the torrent of patches on aeolus-devel, this new mailing list is probably for you. Specific note -> this is a completely public mailing list, everyone is welcome. :) Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift -- Aeolus Cloud Evangelist http://www.aeolusproject.org

Openstack and file injection

Getting public keys from keypairs with cloudinit 0.7.0
by Tomas Karasek 12 Nov '12

12 Nov '12

Hi, to people who were testing cloudinit 0.7.0 in an environment using the DataSourceEc2 (OpenStack, Amazon, probably other environments too): In Openstack and amazon, you can upload public keys to the web interface of the cloud, and the public keys are then downloaded to each instance you launch. Cloudinit then takes care of downloading the public keys and placing them to .ssh/authorized_keys. It reaches the keys via the EC2 api (i.e. http://169.254.169.254) Did you manage to get a user's public key to authorized_keys with cloudinit 0.7.0? Anybody tried this? Cheers, Tomas

Status of openstack in f18?
by Dennis Jacobfeuerborn 12 Nov '12

12 Nov '12

Hi, what is the status of openstack in Fedora 18? The feature page doesn't describe how to get a working openstack installation going and the "openstack-demo-install" seems to run fine but results in a non-working configuration. Specifically the cinder and quantum services don't look like they are set up properly. Regards, Dennis
