Hi,

The docs are mostly talking about using OpenStack with XenServer (connecting via XenAPI), not using OpenStack with Xen+libvirt.

If you want to use Ubuntu as your host OS, you can use the xcp-xapi package to install get XenAPI running, or you can install XenServer on your system. In both cases you then run all the nova services in a domU, which can be Ubuntu.

If you want to stick with Xen+libvirt, there is the SUSE distro that might help you. I believe you want to deploy all the services in Dom0 when you are using Xen+libvirt. I don't know how well it will work when you run them in an unprivileged VM, I haven't tried libvirt+Xen+OpenStack.

Thanks,
John

Hi,

Thanks a lot for your answer.
Here is the link of the tutorial that I used to install OpenStack: http://docs.openstack.org/essex/openstack-compute/install/apt/openstack-install-guide-essex.pdf
Page 41 shows an overview of the architecture of OpenStack with Xen.
Actually, I am trying to use libvirt to connect to the hypervisor. I modified a little the code of openstack to make the connection to the hypervisor from a para virtualized domU possible (just modified the url to let make a remote connection).

Regards,
Afef

Hi,

Sorry for the slow response, I have been out of email contact.

You are best running all the services in a DomU, in the single server case.
You only need the xenapi plugins running on Dom0, assuming you are not running Quantum.

When you add the second machine, you only need compute, network (and console I think)

Can you please point me to the bit of the Essex install guide that tells you to run the other services in Dom0 so I can get that updated to stop any further confusion?

If you want to get something running quickly, I recommend trying DevStack. You can then using that as a template for a more production focused setup.

I hope that helps,
John

Subject: [Openstack] boot image + glance connection failed

Hi all,

I got these errors when trying to boot an image. There are related to glance. I install openstack on an Ubuntu 12.04 (with Xen Server).
Dom0 runs nova-api, glance service, nova-scheduler, nova-cert and nova-console.
DomU runs nova-compute and nova-network.

Do I have to install glance service on DomU????

Here are log errors (picked from nova-compute.log).
