Thanks for the info.
I would like to use the ec2 style extension on hpcloud, but I will see
if I get to that. I'm still making my custom image.
Note: hpcloud supports ec2 style metadata like:
wget -q -O - http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/local-ipv4

Adrian,
Trying the patch did not consume too much time; I can use the region/number
form for hw and images.
There's a new patch, btw. I found the issue you tripped over and
fixed it in WHIRR-593-incTemplate.patch
Here is the next issue: start 2 zookeepers and they cannot communicate
because the jclouds-$cluster_name security group that Whirr created only
gave port 22 permission.
a. how to specify ports to open between all the nodes created (rather than
open to all of Internet or all of LAN)?
I don't think we have a setting for this, yet.
b. how to specify the name of an existing sec. group which also has the
"applies to all instances that are bound to it" property.
supporting openstack means adding support for their security group
extension. I've made note of it here:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIRR-118
I suppose another way would be to use "openstack-nova-ec2" provider
and specify hp as the endpoint. This could possibly work, and then
you can use EC2 security group properties.
I hope this can be done without resorting to (n^2 - n)/2 distinct port
permissions.

Sorry the patch didn't work for you, but glad to hear you discovered
the params you need. I'll try *exactly* what you did and not ask you
to test another patch until that works :)

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.

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.

I need to get Whirr 0.8.0 running on HPCloud *today* so I can help
people
generate
clusters for the ACM local chapter (sfbayacm.org) hackathon on Aug.

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
