Rob, Thank you for responding. The end goal is to manage my Openstack, Ceph, and Hadoop deployments. My focus is to quickly build/tear down environments for our technicians to utilize for testing and replication. After reviewing the framework and comparing it to other solutions I have looked at, I like the direction.
I am currently focusing my deployments on using OpenCrowbar. I have attempted building it myself, using the "crowbar-development_master.4048.dev-ubuntu-12.04.iso", and using the RPMs. Most of the little problems I have run into, I have fixed (like a problem with repos, misspellings). The biggest issue I have run into that I haven't been able to get around yet is "BarclampsController missing ActiveScaffold". I get this error after launching the Web UI and attempting configuration. It occurs anytime I attempt to edit dns or network settings or attempt to add the admin node. I had to tear down my crowbar environment yesterday for another testbed deployment but hopefully spinning it back up shortly. Is the IRC channel dead? I have been reaching out over IRC over the last week with no response.

We're trying to get it cleaned up. Which version (1 or 2) are you trying to bring up? Can you give us some information about what you want to accomplish in your testing? You say, manage provisioning in your lab - is that for mainly Linux? Are you looking to include OpenStack? Rob From: crowbar-bounces On Behalf Of Bovee, Justin Sent: Friday, March 28, 2014 10:06 AM To: crowbar Subject: [Crowbar] Crowbar Deployment Over the last week I have been working testing crowbar to manage provisioning for our lab environment. I have read through the documentation for Crowbar on the primary page (crowbar.github.io/docs), the github project for crowbar, and the github project for opencrowbar. While there is a lot of information, the documentation doesn't seem to be consistent and I keep running into deployment issues. What documentation do you recommend that I use to properly deploy opencrowbar? I am not a developer so I apologize if this is a real newbie question, but I have found different areas that I have needed to change or rewrite to get it to work. What is the best way to upload these changes and help out? Justin Bovee
