Re: [Openstack] Solaris Fails as Guest VM
I don't follow Solaris that closely but I vaguely remember the Joyent folks ported all of KVM to Solaris, right? Or am I just missing the whole point here?

Someone is working on them though. Until that work is done (and integrated into a distro), we're all out of luck.

Re: [Openstack] Using VMWare ESXi with openstack
I just curious. Is anyone using the VMware functionality in OpenStack? I'm getting the feeling that it is more of a 'check box' thing of yeah, we have that hypervisor covered than something that's seriously being used. If my feeling is wrong, I'd like to know. On Wed, Apr 25, 2012 at 7:22 PM, Atul Gosain atul.gos...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Thanks a lot for the responses. I still have some clarifications. Openstack documentation states ( http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-compute/admin/content/hypervisor-configuration-basics.html ) *Hypervisor Configuration Basics* *The node where the nova-compute service is installed and running is the machine that runs all the virtual machines, referred to as the compute node in this guide.* This gave me an impression that nova-compute service has to be installed on hypervisor(and not VM). Though from the links below, it seems that nothing needs to be installed on ESX server for openstack to manage it, from the documentation ( http://wiki.openstack.org/XenServer/GettingStarted), it seems like this package needs to be built on Ubuntu and then install on XenServer for it to be managed by Openstack. Sorry for my confusion, but couldnt figure out from the documentation. - Secondly, what i mainly wanted to know was that how does openstack assign IP addresses to the new VMs it creates. If i see in the API's of individual hypervisors Xen, HyperV etc doesnt provide any direct method of setting IP address on the host, though they provide to set the MAC address. Cloudstack uses an internal DHCP server to set the IP addresses in VM's for the assigned MAC. I looked into the openstack code, it seems like the network configuration is injected into the VM images. Is it true ? As i understand, these images are stored on Glance server. How are these images installed on hypervisors by openstack. It does need to have some software running on hypervisors to which controller can push the image of the VM. Where does the network information get injected inside the image ? Is it on the glance server or hypervisor ?

Every hypervisor has a VM that runs the nova-compute code. You don’t as such install it into the hypervisor. In the case of XenServer, there are certainly some plugins that are installed, but nova, at the moment, still runs in a VM on top of the hypervisor. ** ** I don’t think OpenStack requires vCenter at all. ** ** The email linked below looks like what is in the manual (and was previously on the wiki).

Re: [Openstack] OpenStack immaturity
I've been giving this thread some thought and it dawned on my that we need to expand this page: http://openstack.org/user-stories/ Pretty much everyone featured on that page are 'big' organizations and there really isn't any detail on their experiences of trying to deploy (and maintain) Openstack. There's definitely not stories that a mid-range sized IT shop could related to. This lack of antidotal user experiences I think contributes the perceived immaturity of OpenStack. -- Michael F.
