This worked for starting ubuntu 12.04:

whirr.image-id=az-1.region-a.geo-1/8419

Good to know.  I will try this.

Using the latest WHIRR-593 patch for jclouds 1.5.0b10, I can start a 64bit "noop" machine which ends up as xsmall and ubuntu 10.04 despite these config props:

# a well known image ubuntu 12.04 as listed in hpcloud console (image id is "not found"):
whirr.image-id=8419

# id not found:
whirr.hardware-id=standard.small

# id not found:
whirr.hardware-id=101

# changing the minRam to 2048 did not force a small machine:
whirr.template=osFamily=UBUNTU,osVersionMatches=12.04,os64Bit=true,minRam=2048

I *was* able to start a small machine using the region and the openstack machine code like this:
whirr.hardware-id=az-1.region-a.geo-1/101

Next I need to find the exact form for whirr.image-id so I can use a custom image (perhaps region is needed in the specifier or a full URL).

I built Whirr from trunk svn r1373566. The machine running whirr will be ubuntu 12.04 (I hope that will work.) The spawned cluster nodes can be ubuntu 10.04, but I thought CDH 4.0.1 specified that it worked with 12.04.

Normally, I prepare a custom os image (based on a whirr cluster) to speed up provisioning. Will that work on HPCloud?

The problem is that 10.04 is literally hardcoded. Before the above patch,
there's no way to change that without knowing IDs.

...and you don't actually have to specify the OS stuff at all. Just
whirr.hardware-min-ram=1024 or whatever, and it'll automatically pick an
Ubuntu 10.04 image for you.

You'll actually have to do some manual tweaks due to HP Cloud public IPs not having reverse-resolvable IP addresses - you'll need to manually go onto each of your hosts and change any references to hostnames they put

there to the IP instead.

Hi, Paul.

Here's easiest way

Apply latest patch here https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIRR-593

Set


whirr.template=osFamily=UBUNTU,osVersionMatches=12.04,os64Bit=true,minRam=1024
Should be good.  If works, ping the issue and I can help commit it
tonight.

sponsored in part by HPCloud.

Because of WHIRR-593, I built Whirr from trunk.

My plan is to use Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Precise, 64-bit.

whirr.provider=hpcloud-compute

How does one find the possible values for:

whirr.image-id // I assume numbers seen in HP web console work here
whirr.hardware-id  // use number from openstack or names like
standard.medium ?
whirr.location-id  // what is proper form here?

and any other property settings I need to know about for HPCloud?

Thanks,

Paul
