Hi Stratos,
you might want to take a look at Synnefo. [1]
I did take a look at it earlier, but decided not to test it.
Mainly I was deterred because I found the documentation a bit lacking. I
opened up the section on File Storage and found that there were only
chapter titles, but no actual content. Perhaps I was too quick to
dismiss it.
A bit more practical problem for me was that my test equipment consists
of a single server (besides the Ceph cluster). As far as I understood
the docs, there was a bug that makes it impossible to run Synnefo on a
single server (to be fixed in the next version)?
Regarding my goals, I read through the installation guide and it
recommends setting up an NFS server on one of the servers to serve
images to the rest. This is what I wanted to avoid. Is that optional
and/or could be replaced with Ceph?
At the moment Ganeti only supports the in-kernel RBD driver, although
support for the qemu-rbd driver should be implemented soon. Using the
Hmm, I wanted to avoid using the in-kernel RBD driver, as I figured it
lead to various problems. Is it not a problem in practice?
I was thinking it would be wisest to stay with the distribution kernel,
but I guess you swap it out for a later version?
The rbds for all my existing VMs would probably have to be converted
back from format 2 to format 1, right?
