Platform: Debian wheezy/testing + nova-2012.1~e3-4
Official docs say:
(Chapter: Enabling Access to VMs on the Compute Node)
euca-authorize -P icmp -t -1:-1 default
euca-authorize -P tcp -p 22 default
(docs from Diablo, please publish Essex docs PDF)
Since the docs did not state whenever this step depends on previous
Chapter "Creating Credentials", I assume it is not.
But it fails:
root@nova-server2:~# euca-authorize -P icmp -t -1:-1 default
EC2_ACCESS_KEY environment variable must be set.
Connection failed
root@nova-server2:~# euca-authorize -P tcp -p 22 default
EC2_ACCESS_KEY environment variable must be set.
Connection failed
