We have CentOS 6.4 and 6.5 cloud images. Recommended is CentOS 6.5 (http://sahara-files.mirantis.com/CentOS-6.5-cloud-init.qcow2).
Prepare your own CentOS cloud image:
1. Create disk image with qcow2 format
.. sourcecode:: bash
qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o preallocation=metadata /tmp/centos-6-cloud.qcow2 2G
2. Install CentOS, You should use one partition and no swap. Get netinstall ISO from http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/6/isos/x86_64/.
.. sourcecode:: bash
virt-install --name=centos-6-cloud --disk path=/tmp/centos-6-cloud.qcow2,format=qcow2 -r 1024 --vcpus=1 --hvm -c /tmp/CentOS-6.5-x86_64-netinstall.iso
3. Login into your new image and modify '/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0' to look like this
.. sourcecode:: bash
DEVICE="eth0"
BOOTPROTO="dhcp"
NM_CONTROLLED="no"
ONBOOT="yes"
TYPE="Ethernet"
4. Add EPEL repository and update OS
.. sourcecode:: bash
wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
5. Install cloud-utils and cloud-init
.. sourcecode:: bash
yum install cloud-utils, cloud-init
6. Download 'centos-image-mod.sh' and 'init-part' together in same directory, run 'centos-image-mod.sh'. This will modify initrd and grub.conf.
.. sourcecode:: bash
git clone https://github.com/jaryn/centos-image-resize
cd centos-image-resize && ./centos-image-mod.sh
6.1. Edit '/boot/grub/grub.conf', check if everything is OK. Also, may not be a bad idea to set timeout to 0.
7. Delete '/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules', this will be auto created during boot. Don't forget this, since you won't have functional network when you bring this image up on Openstack.
8. Check files:
File '/etc/cloud/cloud.cfg' should contain these lines:
.. sourcecode:: cfg
default_user:
name: cloud-user
lock_passwd: true
gecos: CentOS Cloud User
groups: [wheel, adm]
sudo: ["ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL"]
shell: /bin/bash
Add them if they are not exist.
File '/etc/fstab'. Check that fifth and sixth fields contain value '0'.
9. Power down your virtual Centos
10. Compress qcow2 image with
.. sourcecode:: bash
qemu-img convert -c /tmp/centos-6-cloud.qcow2 -O qcow2 /tmp/centos.qcow2
Image /tmp/centos.qcow2 is now ready for upload to Openstack
