BTW I installed RDO from scratch on a CentOS 6.5 box 2 weeks ago,
The Good:
1/ the instruction worked, no tweaking, packstack did work
even with the horrible connection I'm having at the moment
2/ the setup instructions are clear and simple
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://openstack.redhat.com/Quickstart">http://openstack.redhat.com/Quickstart</a>
however it should be made clear that the host where the
installation is done should have a fully qualified DNS name
as that's one of the small issue I hit, and people doing testing
are likely to do it on machines without that set up
3/ I got the console working just fine
The Less Good:
Creating a CentOS test instance should be no more than an
additional 2 steps, it wasn't
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://openstack.redhat.com/Running_an_instance">http://openstack.redhat.com/Running_an_instance</a>
Step 1 if CONTROL_NODE is not the IP (previous document referenced
an iP) then one need to pass a FQDN, in my case
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://test/dashboard">http://test/dashboard</a> fails with
"Openstack dashboard Something went wrong an unexpected error
has occured ..."
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://test.veillard.com/dashboard">http://test.veillard.com/dashboard</a> works
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://http://192.168.0.12/dashboard">http://http://192.168.0.12/dashboard</a> works
So either make sure the FQDN is part of the requirement in step 0
or like for the quickstart use $YOURIP that will also be coherent
=> I wonder how many get stuck at that step thinking their
installation is broken
Step 2 and 3 just fine
Step 4:
that's another issue, the default is a Fedora image, and that
worked fine but for CentOS i had to
- click the image resource link
- then follow CentOS 6.5 images
one end up at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/openstack/guest-images/">http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/openstack/guest-images/</a>
a CentOs image, one month old, hosted on Fedora, with no checksum
no README, etc ...
I do think that
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://openstack.redhat.com/Image_resources">http://openstack.redhat.com/Image_resources</a>
need to be updated to point to a real web page, on the CentOS project
with a current image and followup instruction dedicated to people
who were following the RDO instructions
In comparison the <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/">http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/</a> link for
"Ubuntu cloud images" at least has some pointers, we can do way
better and streamline for an RDO setup
Step 5:
Launch the instance instruction failed for me, just providing a
name was not sufficient, the error was
"At least one network must be specified."
it got me to the Networking tab and i had to pick the private
network from the available networks only selection, then launch
worked
Step 6:
it looks like it worked and got a 172.24.4.127 IP, but the instance
still says "IP address 10.0.0.3" , and trying in step 7 to ssh
to 172.24.4.127 failed, both from the remote workstation and
when logged as root
Then messed up creating a local pool of IPs as suggested at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://openstack.redhat.com/Floating_IP_range">http://openstack.redhat.com/Floating_IP_range</a>
but tuned to the local IP address, registering the network was fine
but it never seems used when trying to associate a floating IP to
the instance.
=> IMHO we need to fix quite a few things so that instructions work
out of the box up to running and ssh'ing to a CentOS instance.
Rich, are you able to sort and fix those points at least up to
networking setup ?
KB, do we have a page with QCow2 ready CentOS image on the centos site
that we could link to, and provide RDO tuned instructions ?
