<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div>Greetings All.<br><br>First  - some context:<br><br>I've been doing enterprise Unix / Linux administration for 20+ years, and I like to think that I'm reasonably competent at installing and administering complex service stacks. So I'm not new to this area of endeavor.<br>


<br></div>What I've found, however, is that, quite simply - the instructions just don't work to ultimately produce a fully functional OpenStack platform, even using the "official "documentation.<br>
<br>Quick Prototype installation - assorted failures<br><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><a href="https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux_OpenStack_Platform/2/html/Getting_Started_Guide/part-Deploying_OS_using_PackStack.html" target="_blank">on "regular" </a><a href="http://redhat.com" target="_blank">redhat.com</a>:</span><br>

Deploying it with Foreman:<br>(<a href="http://openstack.redhat.com/Deploying_RDO_using_Foreman#Foreman_with_RDO" target="_blank">http://openstack.redhat.com/Deploying_RDO_using_Foreman#Foreman_with_RDO</a>) ... <br>
<br>The closest I've come to something that works is going step by step through this at docs.openstack:<br><a href="http://docs.openstack.org/havana/config-reference/content/config_overview.html" target="_blank">http://docs.openstack.org/havana/config-reference/content/config_overview.html</a><br>

</div><br>My environment is:<br></div>Dell r710 servers (at least 12GB RAM, 20GB disk)<br>CentOS 6.5<br></div>Dual 1/10 NICs in each server (for private and public IP's)<br><br></div>I'm interested to hear from other people on this list that are encountering the same problem - namely that the cook book instructions aren't working for us - and maybe we can help each other.<br>


<br>My specific questions will be asked in separate posts.<br><br></div>Thanks,<br><div><div><br clear="all"><div><div><div><div><div><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div>James Burnash<br><font color="#000000"><font face="arial">RDHPCS Systems Administrator</font></font><br>
