CloudStack Installation and Configuration

CloudStack is an open-source cloud computing platform similar with both OpenNebula And OpenStack .

Managment Server

cat /etc/hostname
echo "142.0.42.46 controller.example.com controller " >> /etc/hosts
echo " HOSTNAME=controller.example.com" >> /etc/sysconfig/network
cat /etc/hosts
hostname controller.example.com

ping -c 3 controller
yum install -y yum-plugin-priorities gedit curl wget nc
yum -y install policycoreutils setroubleshoot

baseurl=http://cloudstack.apt-get.eu/rhel/4.2/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

yum -y install ntp
service ntpd start
chkconfig ntpd on

yum -y install mysql mysql-server MySQL-python
service mysqld start
chkconfig mysqld on
mysql_install_db

Downloading vhd-util
wget http://download.cloud.com.s3.amazonaws.com/tools/vhd-util
If the Management Server is RHEL or CentOS, copy vhd-util to /usr/lib64/cloud/common/scripts/vm/hypervisor/xenserver.
If the Management Server is Ubuntu, copy vhd-util to /usr/lib/cloud/common/scripts/vm/hypervisor/xenserver/vhd-util.

yum -y install cloud-client

cloudstack-setup-databases cloud:cloud@localhost --deploy-as=root:mysql-password -i 142.0.42.46
cloudstack-setup-management

Mostly by default the the Dashboard password will be admin and password.

mkdir -p /mnt/primary
mkdir -p /mnt/secondary
mount -t nfs 142.0.42.46:/export/primary /mnt/primary
mount -t nfs 142.0.42.46:/export/secondary /mnt/secondary

Create a System virtual machine template, you also can get it from official site.

Usage: cloud-install-sys-tmplt: -m <secondary storage mount point> -f <system vm template file> [-h <hypervisor name: kvm|vmware|xenserver> ] [ -s <mgmt server secret key, if you specified any when running cloudstack-setup-database, default is password>][-u <Url to system vm template>] [-F <clean up system templates of specified hypervisor>] [-e <Template suffix, e.g vhd, ova, qcow2>] [-o <Database server hostname or ip, e.g localhost>] [-r <Database user name, e.g root>] [-d <Database password. Fllowed by nothing if the password is empty>]
or
cloud-install-sys-tmplt: -m <secondary storage mount point> -u <http url for system vm template> [-h <hypervisor name: kvm|vmware|xenserver> ] [ -s <mgmt server secret key>]

Modify the libvirt configuration files, remove the following comments, change the value of auth_tcp to “none”
vi /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf
listen_tls = 0
listen_tcp = 1
tcp_port = "16509"
auth_tcp = "none"
mdns_adv = 0
