Open Stack

Greetings All.

First  - some context:

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.

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.

Quick Prototype installation - assorted failures
on "regular"

)

Deploying it with Foreman:

...

The closest I've come to something that works is going step by step through
this at docs.openstack:
http://docs.openstack.org/havana/config-reference/content/config_overview.html

My environment is:
Dell r710 servers (at least 12GB RAM, 20GB disk)
CentOS 6.5
Dual 1/10 NICs in each server (for private and public IP's)

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.

My specific questions will be asked in separate posts.
