Re: devstack + xenserver + parity
Hi Anthony,
Thanks for sharing this information and in particular for the devstack on xen scripts!
However, I did not see the security groups blueprint (https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/xenapi-security-groups) in your list. Is there a reason for this?
Also, it seems to me that xenapi-provider-firewall is quite closely related with the security groups. For instance, if we look at libvirt implementation, the same driver provides both security groups and provider firewall.
For this reason I reckon it might be worth serializing the implementation of these two blueprints. My team, which is already taking care of the security groups support, will be glad to implement the provider firewall feature as well.
Regards,
Salvatore.

Subject: [Nova-feature-parity] devstack + xenserver + parity
Hey everybody -
To help get the ball rolling with the essex timeframe parity work, I've recently added support for xs5.6 to devstack. The goal with xs+devstack is to make it as easy as possible to get OpenStack running with the XenServer hypervisor. Hopefully, with some of the gnarly configuration stuff out of the way, it will be easier for interested devs to get involved.
The initial configuration that I created runs an all-in-one diablo domU (dash, nova-compute, nova-net, nova-api, glance, keystone) OpenStack cloud. The networking configuration is ha nova-net with flatdhcp, which means that the nova domU acts as a dhcp server and gateway for all the instances on the host. I thought that this would be a good configuration to start with since there is already a blueprint for ha-net + xen, and ha-net is generally desirable for many deployments.
Instructions to get started are here: https://github.com/cloudbuilders/devstack/blob/master/tools/xen/README.md
If you have any issues, or any of the docs are unclear, or otherwise have feedback/questions please let me know.
The list of feature parity blueprints is here: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/~nova-feature-parity
High xenapi-ha-nova-network (rcb)
Medium instance-disk-management
Medium libvirt-resize
Medium xenapi-boot-from-volume
Medium xenapi-live-migration
Medium xs-configuration-drive
Low vnc-console-cleanup (rcb)
Low xenapi-provider-firewall
Undefined compute-node-control
Undefined disk-configuration-parity
Undefined xenapi-text-console-support
Undefined kvm-report-capabilities
If you are interested in working on any of these, let me know. Right now, I know that Salvatore is working on security groups (which doesn't show up in the filter), and I'm focusing on ha-net and eventually vnc console cleanup. It would be great to get people focusing on some of the higher priority blueprints as soon as possible.
Anthony
