<p class="MsoNormal">Hello all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I'm currently trying set up an OpenStack environment with Ironic via the DevStack script on a machine with XenServer, but have run into some issues. My current set up is as follows: a Dom0 which creates a DomU with DevStack loaded, and
running that. Currently, I can successfully launch virtual instances through OpenStack, without any touch of baremetal, which is where Ironic comes in.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">First off, I have a question: in the localrc file, we are supposed to set a VIRT_DRIVER; this presents a point of confusion because the range of values for this value include both XenServer and Ironic. Previously, I obviously had it set
to XenServer to launch the virtual instances. Now that I want to enable Ironic, should I switch the value to indicate that? Or what is the proper configuration for this?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Second, my error of the day when trying to stack everything is<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Courier New"">ovs-vsctl: cannot create a port named eth1 because a port named eth1 already exists on bridge br-eth1<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I had previously configured a eth1 in order to give XenServer network access. Does previously having done that make this step of the script redundant?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If anyone has any experience with deploying Ironic on XenServer, I'd love to have a point of reference to talk to.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks very much,<o:p></o:p></p>
