Sean: Could you say a little more about why it is that running nova-compute inside of a VM makes it easier to integrate with nova-network or quantum (ova)? The OpenStack docs on VMWare < http://docs.openstack.org/folsom/openstack-compute/admin/content/vmware.html> unfortunately don't have any det

Both physical machine and VM work. It's preferred to install nova compute on a VM hosted on the ESXi that nova compute manages. -- Sean ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : openstack@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://

I saw this diagram but it is not very clear if the nova.compute block is on a separate physical server or can be installed on a VM inside ESXi. Regards, Balu On Thu, Jan 3, 2013 at 4:40 PM, Andrew Holway wrote: > Hi, > > http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-compute/admin/content/vmware.ht

I would like to deploy OpenStack with two compute nodes; one using KVM(which seems to be default) and one using VMware ESXi. I am clear on how to use KVM compute nodes but its not clear on how to deploy the compute for ESXi. Assumptions I cant install compute software on the ESXi server directly s
