Open Stack

Yes, I’ve been looking at it.  But with the plethora of available settings, a working configuration would be incredibly useful.  <grin>

http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/config-reference/content/section_compute-hypervisors.html  has configuration entries for each hypervisor type.

OK.  So, next question is the specific configuration for each compute node.  Do you know if there are sample configurations (e.g., nova.conf) available for these?

Thanks!

Dan,

If I understand your question properly, you can do this from the Horizon management web interface as an admin user. Under Admin->System Panel->Host Aggregates setup 3 aggregates each in their own availability zone, and then assign each host into a corresponding aggregate.

I don't think the controller node needs any special configuration, and the compute nodes should just need the configuration to use the specific hypervisor you want on that host.  Each compute node must be running before it can be added to the host aggregate through the UI.

I’m building a cloud and have a question about architecture/viability.  Right now, I have the following configuration:


-          Controller node running RHEL 6.5

-          Network node running RHEL 6.5

-          5 node Ceph cluster for block and object storage

-          3 compute nodes:

o   1 running RHEL 6.5 and VMware as the hypervisor

o   1 running RHEL 6.5 and KVM as the hypervisor

o   1 running CentOS 6.5 and Xen as the hypervisor

The basic question is on the compute nodes.  I’m doing 3 different hypervisors to do a best-of-breed study (each will be in its own availability zone).  Hence, one of each type.  But is it even possible to have 3 compute nodes like this, and if so, how do I configure the compute software that runs on the controller node to handle this; and how do I configure each of the 3 compute nodes as well?
