Public bug reported: I had been having problems with UEC on ubuntu 10.10 getting the Node Controllers (NC) to register correctly.
Finally, after searching both the Ubuntu and Eucalyptus forums (and launchpad bugs) I found the following message on the Eucalyptus forum: = = = = = = = Posted: Mon, 09/20/2010 - 13:08 when you did 'euca_conf --register-nodes 192.168.1.100', did you type in your password for either root or eucalyptus account on NC? If this continue to fail, then you can perform credential exchange steps manually. 1. Add a line to /opt/eucalyptus/etc/eucalyptus/eucalyptus.conf NODES="IP_ADDRESS_OF_NCs" (eg., NODES="10.0.0.2 10.0.0.3") 2. Copy followings files from CLC's /opt/eucalytpus/var/lib/eucalyptus/keys to the same directory of NC. cc-client-policy.xml cloud-cert.pem cluster-cert.pem nc-client-policy.xml node-cert.pem node-pk.pem 3. Make sure the owner of above files on NC is eucalyptus. 4. Restart CLC/CC/NC. = = = = = = Here is what I found after reading the above in particular the following statement: 2. Copy followings files from CLC's /opt/eucalytpus/var/lib/eucalyptus/keys to the same directory of NC. cc-client-policy.xml cloud-cert.pem cluster-cert.pem nc-client-policy.xml node-cert.pem node-pk.pem That statement made me go look to see where those PEM key files actually were on the CLC and it appears that after a default install of UEC on 10.10 those PEM key files are NOT located in the directory - /opt/eucalytpus/var/lib/eucalyptus/keys I found that they were instead they were placed into==> /var/lib/eucalyptus/keys/cluster1 $ sudo ls -lg ./var/lib/eucalyptus/keys/cluster1 total 24 -rw-r--r-- 1 eucalyptus 1147 2010-09-28 18:43 cloud-cert.pem -rw-r--r-- 1 eucalyptus 1147 2010-09-28 18:43 cluster-cert.pem -rw-r--r-- 1 eucalyptus 1675 2010-09-28 18:43 cluster-pk.pem -rw-r--r-- 1 eucalyptus 1147 2010-09-28 18:43 node-cert.pem -rw-r--r-- 1 eucalyptus 1675 2010-09-28 18:43 node-pk.pem -rw-r--r-- 1 eucalyptus 512 2010-09-28 18:43 vtunpass This is probably where the NC registration problems that myself and others have been reporting are occurring. ** Affects: eucalyptus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/684816 Title: Node Controller (NC) fail to register -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
