Re: Grizzly on Laptop running Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop 64-bit and having 2 NICs (one Ethernet and other Wireless)

 

Thanks! Phil. Yes, It's a test environment. Actually I wanted to walk
through the installation steps to gain understanding of the setup. I
have already tried running DevStack on Ubuntu VM using VirtualBox.

Though my purpose is to go through installing all OpenStack components
manually (without using script) still the Redhat RDO looks pretty
interesting to me, so thanks for sharing it.

Regards,
Devendra Gupta
