Nova Quickstart
===============
2010-10-27 13:49:27 -04:00
The `contrib/novascript.sh` file in the source distribution is a script that
will quickly set up nova to run on a single machine. It is tested against
Ubuntu only, but other distributions are forthcoming.
Usage
-----
Unless you want to spend a lot of time fiddling with permissions and sudoers,
you should probably run nova as root.
::
sudo -i
If you are concerned about security, nova runs just fine inside a virtual
machine.
Use the script to install and run the current trunk. You can also specify a
specific branch by putting `lp:~someone/nova/some-branch` after the branch
command
::
./nova.sh branch
./nova.sh install
./nova.sh run
The run command will drop you into a screen session with all of the workers
running in different windows You can use eucatools to run commands against the
cloud.
::
euca-add-keypair test > test.pem
euca-run-instances -k test -t m1.tiny ami-tiny
euca-describe-instances
To see output from the various workers, switch screen windows
::
<ctrl-a> "
will give you a list of running windows.
When the instance is running, you should be able to ssh to it.
::
chmod 600 test.pem
ssh -i test.pem root@10.0.0.3
When you exit screen
::
<ctrl-a> <ctrl-d>
nova will terminate. It may take a while for nova to finish cleaning up. If
you exit the process before it is done because there were some problems in your
build, you may have to clean up the nova processes manually. If you had any
instances running, you can attempt to kill them through the api:
::
./nova.sh terminate
Then you can destroy the screen:
::
./nova.sh clean
If things get particularly messed up, you might need to do some more intense
cleanup. Be careful, the following command will manually destroy all runnning
virsh instances and attempt to delete all vlans and bridges.
