Meng,

I am not sure where you stand on this, but you should not use VLANs.

Just setup a basic zone (no vlans needed) , use the packages from the
repository and don't even try to compile from source.

It turned out that I didn't configure the repository correctly. Now I can install cloud-client and cloud-agent.


All information should be in the installation guide (not the quick
install guide, which is not valid for 4.1).

This script might help you:

http://simonljb123.wordpress.com/2013/05/22/installation-of-cloudstack-4-0-kvm-hypervisor-host-with-onekey/

but this is only for 4.0. In 4.1 the package names have changed from
cloud- to cloudstack-

Just figured this out yesterday :)


I will do an install on monday and get back with you (have not done
an install in a while).

I tested the quick install guide 4.0 and created a quick install guide for 4.1. Tested the 4.1 guide successfully on my desktop.
I encountered a few problems while following 4.0 quick install guide.

1. cloudstack-management service can be started, but dies quickly. It is the same problem listed here:https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-2758 I know the master branch is properly patched to fix this problem. Are the packages in the following link updated as well?
http://cloudstack.apt-get.eu/rhel/4.1/

2. Invalid username or password at initial login to CloudStack UI using the default admin/password.

I tried the installation several times. This error showed frequently. But the reason for this error varied. In my case, the following reasons are included, hardware does not support virtulization extension(I tried install everything inside a VM once), cloudstack-agent is not running...

I feel that this error is a little bit misleading. Because I checked the data in mysql, the user name and password are properly set to admin/password.


Best Regards,

Meng

Hi all,

In the CloudStack installation guides(both 4.0 and 4.1), it says that we need to install cloud-agent.

(http://cloudstack.apache.org/docs/en-US/Apache_CloudStack/4.1.0/html/Installation_Guide/hypervisor-kvm-install-flow.html#hypervisor-host-install-agent)

However I could not find this package. Instead I found a directory named "agent" in the CloudStack master branch.

Is it the same agent? How should I run this agent?
Also it is mentioned here that we should configure a couple of things after we installed cloud agent :http://cloudstack.apache.org/docs/en-US/Apache_CloudStack/4.0.2/html/Quick_Install_Guide/sect-qig-KVM-Installation.html What configuration do I need to make to the cloud agent? It seems to me at least we should told the agent which bridges the VMs are connected to. There is a script called "cloud-setup-agent" under the agent directory. Should we use this to configure the agent?

I have stuck on these question for a couple of days. I seems to grab pieces from every installation guide I can find to make things through :(

Also in the network configuration part: http://cloudstack.apache.org/docs/en-US/Apache_CloudStack/4.1.0/html/Installation_Guide/hypervisor-kvm-install-flow.html#hypervisor-host-install-network

We assume that the hypervisor has one NIC (eth0) with three tagged VLAN's:

   VLAN 100 for management of the hypervisor
   VLAN 200 for public network of the instances (cloudbr0)
   VLAN 300 for private network of the instances (cloudbr1)

I am not allowed to use tagged VLANs on campus, which means my VMs will not be able to connect to internet. Is there anyway to work around this? Can we use a "flat" network structure?

If we setup these two bridges: cloudbr0 and cloudbr1, how does the cloud agent know these two bridges?

Thanks for your help.

Best Regards,
Meng
