Using migration in Tashi is dependent on using the migration provided by the VMM underneath it. Are you using Qemu/KVM or Xen? If you are using Qemu/KVM, you need to be aware of some of the limitations inherent in that VMM's implementation of live migration (the disk image has to be served from the same file server, etc.).
The Makefile exists to reorganize the source tree to be usable -- as you stated, python is not a compiled language. It also uses thrift to dynamically create some python code. I suspect you would see many errors if you didn't have thrift installed. Thrift is another Apache Incubator project (http://incubator.apache.org/thrift/). I'm glad to see you're trying to use Tashi and I'm glad to help you however I can. If you need more specific directions, we're working on some, but in the mean time, please send any error messages you are getting so that I can respond to those individually. The only request I have is that you send questions like this to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>, which is CC'd on this message. Thanks. - Michael ________________________________ From: KunWang [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, January 02, 2009 11:29 AM To: Ryan, Michael P Subject: [question] get tashi run smoothly Dear Michael, I watched your talk on http://blogs.intel.com/research/2008/10/cloud_computing_in_pittsburgh.php. >From your talk, I find you are already using tashi for migration. However, I >encountered some problem when I was trying to use tashi to establish cloud computing environment in my lab. I checked out my source code from http://incubator.apache.org/tashi/source_code.html I followed this tutorial to use tashi http://opencirrus.intel-research.net/index.php/Using_Tashi I found there are several Makefiles in the source tree. Except for the utilities, many error happened when I was trying to use GNU make to "compile" the source code. Since Python is an interpretive language, I found the Makefile didn't do too much concrete job. I can't find enough documents on that website on installing tashi. I am very interested in tashi. Could you please give me some advice to get tashi run smoothly like you? Thanks in advance. Regards, Kun
