Process
-------
Create at least one physical host that has public network access and is running the
Ubuntu 14/6.04 LTS Operating system. System assumes that you have an unpartitioned
device with at least 1TB of storage, however you can customize the size of each VM
volume by setting the option ``${VM_DISK_SIZE}``. If you're using the Rackspace
OnMetal servers the drive partitioning will be done for you by detecting the largest
unpartitioned device. If you're doing the deployment on something other than a Rackspace
OnMetal server you may need to set the ``${DATA_DISK_DEVICE}`` variable accordingly.
the playbooks will look for a volume group named "vg01", if this volume group exists
no partitioning or setup on the data disk will take place. To effectively use this
process for testing it's recommended that the host machine have at least 32GiB of
RAM.

do something other than deploy master you can set the ``${OSA_BRANCH}`` variable to any
branch, tag, or SHA.

Post Deployment
---------------
Once deployed you can use virt-manager to manage the KVM instances on the host, similar to a DRAC or ILO.

Re-kicking VM(s)
----------------
Re-kicking a VM is as simple as stopping a VM, delete the logical volume, create a new logical volume, start the VM.
The VM will come back online, pxe boot, and install the base OS.

--------------------------
The build script can be rerun at any time. If you have a successful run before and simply want to re-kick everything I
recommend nuking VMs and then executing the build script.

Deploying OpenStack into the environment

While the build script will deploy OpenStack, you can choose to run this manually. To run a basic deploy using a given branch you can use the following snippet. Set the ansible option ``osa_branch`` or export the environment variable ``OSA_BRANCH`` when using the build.sh script.

the cloud. You can do this using some basic ``virsh`` commands and a little bash.
