Those VMs should be able to boot with on a Linux installation with a KVM hypervisor with no issues, provided that you have the images (or can grab them from Glance) and can create a .xml definition file for each. For the xml definitions, you can cheat a little by creating a blank new KVM VM using t

However, if removing the '--device' line boots the machine successfully, you might want to simply check if your init ramfs (of the guest) has a virtio block driver module included (doesn't seems so), include it (might as well include the virtio network module) and rebuild it on your SuSE image. Se

Hi, What are you trying to do? Do you need to attach/detach a cdrom often? If it is to install the OS, you should either try a vendor shipped image or create a custom one, save it and push it to your OpenStack deployment. See here: ​​ http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-compute/admin/conte

Understood, in this case, I would recommend you use Ubuntu 12.04 LTS images for your testing. Hope this helps. On Mon, Sep 16, 2013 at 2:07 AM, sam lee wrote: > @laclasse, @Ritesh, thanks for the help. I will try right now. > > @laclasse, I am quite a newbe for openstack, and ubuntu

Agreed, unique FQDNs on every instances is still a big issue for common workloads, hopefully solved by DNS services coming to OpenStack soon... I fully agree that the instance name and the FQDN of the instances should be 2 separate things, and even better, I think instances by default should try a

There is some overlap, maybe due to certain public cloud services that have decided to expose the glance API through nova, rather than exposing the glance api end point directly. Not entirely sure of your end goal, but if this is a private/custom install of OpenStack and you have the glance servic

@sam lee, if I understand properly ​ ​ you are talking about a custom Ubuntu image you created? IIRC all Ubuntu provided default images for OpenStack/AWS after 10.04 LTS have this package installed (or was it starting at 12.04 LTS? Scott Moser the maintainer of the packahe might know more). Also,

That is correct, it does. Takes care of extending the rootfs of the instance according to the flavours (sizes of VM) that you are defining/modifying or using the pre-defined ones. See http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-ops/content/flavors.html On Fri, Aug 30, 2013 at 7:15 AM, Mark Chaney w

There is a good chance that your centos 5.6 image was not made on virtIO block device for the root disk, hence the error trying to boot on one. Include a virtIO block driver in your base init ramdisk and rebuild it (the ramdisk of the VM). Then it should work. See: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show
