[57north-discuss] 57North OpenStack private cloud

[Tony Travis]

Hi,

Iain has connected my server 172.31.1.114 "minke" to ChaosVPN and I've
installed "DevStack" on it, which is a single-node version of OpenStack
for developers. We still have to sort out 'floating' IP ranges for it,
but I've loaded and run a Fedora VM instance. Just can't login on it!

Lots of details about how to do things at:

> http://docs.openstack.org/developer/devstack/guides/single-machine.html

It's not a 'production' server - It's for us to learn about OpenStack,
but we can actually use it to run Virtual Machine Images and do things
with them. The DevStack 'Dashboard' for "minke" is at:

  http://172.31.1.114

I've changed the default admin password because the system is exposed to
ChaosVPN and, for the moment, me and Iain will administer "minke".

I'd like to use our 57North LDAP authentication, but I'm not sure how to
integrate that with DevStack or if it can be done. meanwhile, let me or
Iain know if you want a DevStack user account and we'll create one
locally on "minke".

Minke is a Tyan S8230 with dual 8-core Opteron 6128's and 128GiB RAM.

It has 10 at SATA2 disks, currently 2 at 2TB + 8 at 1TB but I'm still fiddling
about with the disk layout to get the best "DevStack" performance.

Bye,

  Tony.
