<div>Hi,</div>
<div>You will see artifacts on the VC when the cinder volume is attached to the instance.</div>

<div>Hi Tylor, <br>
<br>
</div>
<div>I just started testing openstack+vmware,Kilo release and vcenter 5.5<br>
</div>
<div>Here is what I did to bootup a vmdk based instance: <br>
<br>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Install Kilo basic all in one system. </li></ul>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Install a single esxi, upload vcenter ova 5.5. </li></ul>
</div>
<div> Enable ssh access to esxi.<br>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>On vnc ports on esxi's firewall:</li></ul>
<div style="margin-left:40px"><a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__github.com_openstack-2Dvmwareapi-2Dteam_Tools&d=BQMFaQ&c=Sqcl0Ez6M0X8aeM67LKIiDJAXVeAw-YihVMNtXt-uEs&r=VlZxHpZBmzzkWT5jqz9JYBk8YTeq9N3-diTlNj4GyNc&m=_B6S7S1E2aqQJDzZy_LmRQQf9_HcXTloiua8r5njk34&s=VBWuAqKrd2vhSAqHJk_5GxvYQZCvjg9wZKW6kHTOwt0&e=">https://github.com/openstack-vmwareapi-team/Tools</a><br>
Update firewall rule for vnc:<br>
A. Firewall show current rules:<br>
esxcli network firewall ruleset list<br>
<br>
<ol>
<li>Copy zip update to vmfs datastore. </li><li>Change vib acceptance level partent: # esxcli software acceptance set --level=CommunitySupported</li><li>#esxcli software vib install -d “/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/openstackvncfirewall.zip“</li></ol>
</div>
<ul>
<li>Create a port group called: br100 on vswitch (started with a simple Nova network)</li><li>Update nova.conf to point to vcenter:</li></ul>
<p style="margin-left:40px"> volume_driver=cinder.volume.drivers.vmware.vmdk.VMwareVcVmdkDriver<br>
vmware_host_ip=x.y.z.w (vcenter's IP)<br>
vmware_host_username=root (needs proper permissions, i just gave it root/full)<br>
vmware_host_password= (vcenter user's password)<br>
vmware_volume_folder=cinder-volumes </p>
<p style="margin-left:40px">Restart nova service. <br>
</p>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Download a Cirros image in my case cirros-0.3.4-x86_64-disk.img</li></ul>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Convert to vmdk:</li></ul>
#qemu-img convert -f qcow2 cirros-0.3.4-x86_64-disk.img -O vmdk cirros-0.3.4-x86_64-disk.vmdk<br>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Upload to Glance, choose vmware_adaptor -> lsiLogic else you may not be able to add/mount additional disks on the fly.
</li></ul>
#glance image-create --name cirros_lsilogic.vmdk --container-format bare --disk-format vmdk --property vmware_disktype="sparse" --property vmware_adaptertype="lsiLogic" --file cirros-0.3.4-x86_64-disk.vmdk<br>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Boot instance (admit from Horizon:) based on the image created before. <br>
</li></ul>
</div>
<div>Instance bootedup fine, and it only took me a few days for figure out up to here..
<br>
</div>
<div>Let me know which vmdk you tried I can try it on my setup. <br>
<br>
</div>
<div>So my next issue is getting Cinder VMDK volumes to work. </div>
<div>Update cinder.conf:<br>
volume_driver=cinder.volume.drivers.vmware.vmdk.VMwareVcVmdkDriver<br>
vmware_host_ip=x.y.z.w<br>
vmware_host_username=root<br>
vmware_host_password=....... <br>
vmware_volume_folder=cinder-volumes <br>
</div>
<div>Restart cinder (didn't help rebooting fixed)<br>
</div>
<div>Create cinder-volume folder under vcenter. <br>
</div>
Now this is where I'm stuck, I try to create a cinder volume then Cinder list shows new volume..
<br>
$ cinder type-create thick_volume<br>
$ cinder type-key thick_volume set vmware:vmdk_type=thick<br>
$ cinder create --volume-type thick_volume --display-name volume1 1<br>
<br>
</div>
<div># cinder list (looks ok -available ..) <br>
+--------------------------------------+-----------+--------------+------+--------------+----------+-------------+<br>
| ID | Status | Display Name | Size | Volume Type | Bootable | Attached to |<br>
+--------------------------------------+-----------+--------------+------+--------------+----------+-------------+<br>
| 35365cbf-edbc-40e7-97be-82faff37acee | available | volume2 | 1 | thick_volume | false | |<br>
| b27ab736-d396-4a0a-8ef8-eda9adca1d75 | available | volz | 1 | thick_volume | false | |<br>
+--------------------------------------+-----------+--------------+------+--------------+----------+-------------+<br>
<br>
</div>
<div><br>
But well unsurprisingly I don't see any of them created under vcenter's side. <br>
</div>
<br>
They should showup as disks which are connected to vm's with names starting with volume-...<br>
Yet nothing happens, messing about looking at logs now. <br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Regards,<br>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
I¹m having trouble running my vmdks on kvm in openstack. It seems that KVM<br>
cannot find the boot partition. I¹ll transcribe some errors from the<br>
console:<br>
<br>
Scanning logical volumes<br>
Reading all physical volumes. This may take a whileŠ<br>
No volume groups found<br>
Activating logical volumes<br>
Volume group ³VolGroup00² not found<br>
<br>
I¹m starting from a flat vmdk that I downloaded from the on esx web UI.<br>
I¹ve tried the following:<br>
- booting flat-vmdk from a glance image<br>
- booting flat-vmdk from a volume<br>
- converting to qcow2 (qemu-img convert) and booting from glance image<br>
- removing all network related info and booting resulting flat-vmdk / qcow2<br>
<br>
I always end up with the errors above.<br>
Can anyone help me with this?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Tyler<br>
