[Openstack] [RC BUGS] Call for Help: openstack-manuals
Hi, After contributing Installation on Debian section, I have removed the strong link between Ubuntu and the official O-S docs. (wish: https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-manuals/+bug/943792) I would like to request co-operation to better check those manuals, report bugs and fix them. Currently, both nova and keystone docs are broken, and I need help (knowledge) to fix them. Critical Problems: 1. legacy auth is still used in nova docs https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-manuals/+bug/941711 2. many keystone commands from official openstack-manual (keystone-trunk) fail. Such as: # keystone-manage tenant add admin (can't find bug #, but I remember there was one) Problem is: We don't have much time, and I'm would like to contibute to ensure docs-for-Essex will be production quality on release date. Since those bugs will prevent new users from installing openstack, I consider them critical. -- -Alexey Eromenko Technologov ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : openstack@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Re: [Openstack] Libvirt Snapshots
Pros: plays nicely with libvirt, so the vm is only paused for the minimum amount of time Cons: requires libvirt 9.5, which doesn't exist in oneiric libvirt 9.5 requirement sounds acceptable. Reason: In general, Essex does not target 11.10-Oneiric, because Diablo is part of Oneiric. Essex is really designed to be fully integrated with newer platforms, such as Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Precise and Debian 7.0 Wheezy, so those are the targets. (not sure about other vendor's plans) As for 11.10-Oneiric: Essex was essentially back-ported to it, so a good solution would be just extending the backport effort to include the newer libvirt, as part of the OpenStack PPA for Oneiric. -- -Alexey Eromenko Technologov ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : openstack@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Openstack] Debianizing Documentation
Hi All ! ...besides the patches I already sent, I'm currently working on Debianizing the official documentation, openstack-manuals. I will provide a non-intrusive patch, by adding sudo support to Debian: # usermod -a -G sudo myuser + explain the basic packages, that need be installed, plus add mention of Debian across the docs. I have started with staring guide and nova manuals. This approach will allow to keep much of the guide pre-pended by sudo this; sudo that, at the same time supporting Debian... For the curious: Debian project *has* own HOW-TO here: http://wiki.debian.org/OpenStackHowto ... but I believe it is important to embrace Debian a bit more boldly within the OpenStack community, at the official docs level. -- -Alexey Eromenko Technologov ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : openstack@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

The devstack script sets them for you if you source openrc. https://github.com/openstack-dev/devstack/blob/master/openrc#L55 Devstack is automated setup of OpenStack with many specifics. (For the record: I have tried devstack on Ubuntu, but fails for me for other reasons) Let's back to OpenStack: The official OpenStack docs do not rely on devstack, else they become devstack docs. (if they use devstack specifics, they lose the generic approach of standard OpenStack install) I have looked at OpenRC, but I can't find step-by-step guide on how-to configure authentication / credentials, or how-to test credentials for that matter.

[Openstack] Documentation: Basic Concepts of OpenStack are lacking from official Getting Started PDF
Hello all, Anne: You were recommended contact by Todd Deshane (deshantm on IRC) about this issue. The problem: I'm new to OpenStack and while learning it, all of it's concepts seem wild. I have read the OpenStack Getting Started Guide PDF (from docs.openstack.org), but it doesn't explain the most basic concepts. Things like: 1. Why Object Storage (swift) vs. Network File System (NFS) = According to: notmyname notmyname technologov: the things that object storage in general (and swift specifically) provides is large scale, cheap, and durable storage notmyname technologov: object storage is all about relaxing some of the constraints of a posix-style system. for example, if you don't have to provide atomic operations (ie you can rely on eventual consistency), you can much more easily scale a storage system and not have a central point of failure Also: I have seen a video, that explains a bit about hashing searches, but very incomplete. Also what happens if new servers get added or removed ? Such concepts need to be added into the docs. Does Object Storage also stores files ? (seems yes) 2. Nova vs Images (glance) vs. Object Storage (swift) = Both (1) Nova-volume and (2) glance and (3) swift seem capable of storing VM hard disks. What's the conceptual difference between the three ? Possible Answer: notmyname technologov: nova-volume is for block storage attached to a VM. glance is to manage the VM images in a nova cluster and provide nice ways of storing them (a bridge to the storage, not the storage itself). swift is an object storage system that can be used by glance or on its own. swift isn't a filesystem, so it's not mountable like the devices managed with nova-volume Arguments Discussion: technologov come on... mountable term is a joke... nowadays you can mount GMail or Wikipedia... via FUSE technologov w.p. is not a Filesystem either :) notmyname ok, so you don't use swift like a traditional hard drive. the only access to it is API-based (and the API is http) notmyname that can be wrapped into a FUSE filesystem (but there are big tradeoffs in doing so--advantages too, of course) Once we can agree on the concepts, need to patch official docs. 3. Minimal OpenStack setup for new developers to get started is ? = Nova only ? Glance and Swift are optional modules, right? I'd be glad to help to improve docs, but I don't understand those concepts myself. More docs issues: = 4. Hierarchies terminology: How do you call Live-migration-domain in OpenStack lingo ? (group of hosts, where virtual machines can be live-migrated from one to the next) Are there any other types of domains / virtual machine groups / host machine groups in OpenStack concept / terminology ? 5. Cross-platform host OS support: Currently the heavy use of iptables mandates Linux host. This assumption is true if you only support KVM, Xen, LXC, OVZ, UML. With a possible future port of OpenStack to VirtualBox engine, this assumption is false. 5.a. Is iptables mandatory or optional ? 5.b. What other OpenStack features exist that may fail on FreeBSD hosts ? And on Windows hosts ? NOTE: I'm OK if OpenStack effort stays Linux-only, but this must be clearly documented, along with portability hints. 6. Also Dashboard GUI was not covered in getting started PDF, which seems important. 7. Security: Remote VM control is secured ? How ? Libvirtd ? (From my quick look it seems that nova connects to remote nova-compute, not to libvirtd.) 8. Which other important concepts might I miss ? -- -Alexey Eromenko Technologov, 20.02.2012. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : openstack@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
