Guys,

I'm new on CentOs and Eucalyptus and I need your help regarding installation of Eucalyptus using CentOs 7. I've been getting this error during installation of Eucalyptus using this command: bash <(curl -Ls hphelion.com/eucalyptus-install)

[FATAL] NetworkManager Detected

The presence of NetworkManager indicates that you have installed a Desktop environment.
Please run FastStart on a minimal OS without a Desktop environment installed.

At first, it was the same error that I got but it was about PackageKit so I tried to reinstall my OS without GNOME and I got this error above now. I appreciate your help guys.

Cheers!

Its likely you are not actually using a CentOS 7 minimal image.  To download the minimal image, please try one of the mirrors at this link:

http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/7/isos/x86_64/CentOS-7-x86_64-Minimal-1511.iso

If you install this and still have problems with FastStart let us know.

I thought FastStart commands only work for CentOS 6.7 & 6.8. That's just what I came across in my experience.

Michael,

When Eucalyptus 4.3 was released, we began supporting CentOS/RHEL 7 only.  If you use Eucalyptus 4.2 you will need Centos 6.8.

The URL that Arn posted will install the latest Eucalyptus version, which is 4.3.  Therefore it requires Centos 7 minimal.

Hope this helps.

-Matt

Correct, I am still using 4.2 so CentOS 6.7 and 6.8 worked fine. 
Good to hear that 4.3 is supporting CentOS 7 only. 

Happy with 4.2 and don't want to break anything by upgrading. The updates were a couple months apart...

Hi,

As the error message suggest you need to remove the network manager and need to configure network card manually. for remove the network manager just run the below mentioned command.



yum remove NetworkManager

Thank's Guys. another thing also.. does it really matter if I choose GNOME or GUI for my environment during installation of CentOs 7?  Cause I'm not  comfortable working without GUI.. since I'm new to this kind of system. Really I appreciate your help guys cause I'm working on my project and my project is building a computer cluster. I'm using Cluster Controller, Storage Controller and it has 8 cluster nodes... basically, this is more on the virtualization project.  This is going to be a long way to go and I haven't installed eucalyptus yet.. I've written below the flow of this project.

Project Type: Hardware, Networking, Virtual Machine Manager

We envisage that the cluster will comprise of a:
 - Custer Controller
 - Storage Controller
 - 8 Compute nodes
with capability for being expanded with extra compute nodes as needed in the future.

We want to operate the cluster in a similar manner to Amazon Web Services (AWS) and rovide a distributed virtual machine management capability. If our users can create virtual machines just like you would in VM Ware or Virtual Box except that instead of being on 1 host, the cluster controller will provision that VM on any host it sees fit and we will be able to run multiple simultaneous VMs for multiple users. For that we will need a virtual management system called Eucalyptus. 

The project will require research into the best OS distribution to install, the necessary configuration of the distribution(s) to effect a working cluster. The selected OS MUST support the Eucalyptus virtualised machine management environment.

We would like the team to assemble the cluster in a server rack, which we have acquired for the purpose. 

We would like a user/admin guide explaining how the cluster works, how it is configured and what process is needed to add a new node to the cluster, should we wish to do so in the future. 

For this you will need to:
 - Have knowledge of Hardware
 - Have knowledge of Networking
 - Have knowledge of Operating Systems and OS configuration
 - Be comfortable working in a Non GUI environment
 - Have knowledge of Virtual Machines and how to provision them
 - Have the ability to research areas of technology where you have gaps in your knowledge

Cheers!

Hi,

Is it necessary to configure the IP Add to static before installing the Eucalyptus? I tried it but i cannot connect to the internet anymore and I cannot install eucalyptus without the internet obviously. Thanks for the help guys.

Cheers!

Arn,

This error doesn't show us anything we can use to help you complete your installation.  You would need to look at the logfile in /var/log/euca-install-*.log which will have a more descriptive error.  Please don't attach that entire file it will be large, instead send just the log entries surrounding the error.

Thanks,
-Matt

Hi,

We were using only Cluster Controller, Storage Controller for separate machines and 8 Cluster Nodes. Is it necessary to have Cloud Controller also in a separate machine? Really having a hard time installing Eucalyptus 4.3.. Is there any link that will teach us the right process how to install eucalyptus aside from the HPE docs? Thanks!

Cheers

Dear Matt 
 
Could you explain how to resolve step by step this bug: [31mError executing action `run` on resource 'execute[network-restart]'.
I see that Thiago Nelson Faria dos Reis wrote something about it but it's not clear for me.
He wrote "I resolve this problem changing the /etc/resolv.com in the midle of the instalation, at this point of the error.
i update the file ifcfg-br0 too because, mas the main is the resolv.conf"

Best regards
