That's what CloudStack is for. It 'discovers' the hypervisor through its discoverers - XenDisoverer talks to XAPI to manage Xenservers, KVM talks via SSH/libvirt and VmWare talks through the vmware SDK. It's all abstracted so you don't have to understand the mechanics of what's going on underneath. Your hypervisor host needs to be prepared with the OS+hypervisor-software of your choice. It will need to have one NIC that the management server (your laptop) can reach. You will need some storage (NFS) where you can pre-seed the systemVM template which is used to launch service VMs that cloudstack uses for management purposes. All this and more is in the installation guide - let us know if there's anything missing and you haven't been able to figure out about the installation. > >> > >>========> WARNING: Provided file does not exist: > >>/home/meng/cloudstack/developer/../utils/conf/db.properties.override > >>========> Initializing database=cloud with host=localhost port=3306 > >>username=cloud password=cloud > >>============> Running query: drop database if exists `cloud` > >>SQL exception in trying initDB: java.sql.SQLException: Access denied > >>for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) > >> > >Does your mysql instance have a root password?

Odd, the jetty plugin should be downloaded automatically from repo.maven.org. If your mvn clean install step worked I'm guessing you're not behind any sort of http_proxy? -- Prasanna., ------------------------ Powered by BigRock.com
