[openstack-dev] Issues with IPTables

Here you go.  Keep in mind that I structured them more like their own install guide.  Basic tweaks were integrated into the steps, but larger issues are noted at the bottom under the "notes" section.

Solly,
It would be great if you can share the notes.  The reason I asked the question is that I'm trying to decide If I need to allocate development time in installation following the installation guide. The usual wisdom is that installation with detailed instruction would "take no time". However, your experience and mine showed the contrary. I have not finished mine following the Ubuntu installation guide. Thus, I was interested in knowing your effort spent on it so that I would know that it was not just me who had issues with the supposedly "plug and play" installation with the packages.
Thanks,
Qing

Quite a while.  RDO's documentation for configuring multinode Packstack with Neutron was a bit lacking, so after attempting to get that working for a while, I switched to following the Basic Install Guide (http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/basic-install/content/basic-install_intro.html).  I also found the basic install guide catered for Fedora (http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/basic-install/yum/content/basic-install_intro.html), but that is sorely lacking in the actual instruction department, and is missing several steps.

If you would like, I can attach the raw draft of my notes.  Eventually, some of the changes or clairifications should make their way into the actual OpenStack Docs.

Best Regards,
Solly Ross

Solly,
A side question, how long did this process take you?

Thanks,

Qing

In a enfort to improve/verify the Openstack Documentation with regards to RHEL and Fedora, I've been attempting to follow the basic install guides.  I've managed to create a working installation and set of instructions.  However, to do so I needed to disable the Neutron IPTables firewall, as it was blocking non-VM traffic.  Namely, it was blocking the GRE packets being used by Neutron.  Did I miss something, or is this a bug?

Best Regards,
Solly Ross
