Installation of Eucalyptus Faststart Cloud-in-a-box inside KVM/Qemu VM (SOLVED)

[Metta Crawler]

Installation of Eucalyptus Faststart Cloud-in-a-box inside KVM/Qemu VM:

1. Using virt-manager install a CentOS 7.4 minimal iso.
2. Give the VM about 205 GB of disk and at least 16 GB RAM
3. Don't use automatic partitioner; it will put the disk space on a /home file system
4. Create 2GB swap and put the rest of the space on the root file system.  I only tested with ext4 not xfs.
5. Log onto the VM.
6. Configure static networking inside the VM, see nmcli below
7. In the VM: hostnamectl set-hostname euca.qemu # (or whatever hostname you like.)
8. Inside the VM run: yum erase NetworkManager NetworkManager-libnm
9. In VM: systemctl disable firewalld # see https://github.com/eucalyptus/eucalyptus-cookbook/pull/419
10. In VM: systemctl stop firewalld
11. Inside the VM run: yum upgrade
12. Inside the VM run: yum install git wget bash-completion
13. Shut off VM and add policy to expose VMX to the guest (see 'virsh edit' below)
14. At some point put a checkpoint on the VM after CentOS is cool and before installing Eucalyptus
15. Restart VM and log into it then run these next steps inside the VM:
16. wget http://euca-chef.s3.amazonaws.com/eucalyptus-cookbooks-4.4.0.tgz
17. tar xvfz eucalyptus-cookbooks-4.4.0.tgz
18. git clone https://github.com/eucalyptus/eucalyptus-cookbook.git
19. rm -r cookbooks/eucalyptus/
20. mv eucalyptus-cookbook cookbooks/eucalyptus
21. tar cvfz my-cookbooks.tgz cookbooks
22. Run cookbooks/eucalyptus/faststart/cloud-in-a-box.sh -u file://$(pwd)/my-cookbooks.tgz
23. Get coffee.
24. copy /root/.euca to your account's home directory

Elaborations on steps above:
--- Hypervisor must have the 'nested' option set to '1'
--- choose one not both:
---- for Intel CPU
cat /etc/modprobe.d/qemu-system-x86.conf 
options kvm_intel nested=1
---- for AMD CPU
cat /etc/modprobe.d/qemu-system-x86.conf 
options kvm_amd nested=1
--- end of hypervisor configuration

--- VM must have Intel VMX *or* AMD SVM exposed
--- sudo virsh edit ...
--- choose one not both:
---- For Intel (model will vary depending on your CPU)
  <cpu mode='custom' match='exact' check='full'>
    <model fallback='forbid'>Haskell</model>
    <feature policy='require' name='vmx'/>
---- for AMD (model will vary depending on your CPU)
  <cpu mode='custom' match='exact' check='partial'>
    <model fallback='allow'>Opteron_G4</model>
    <feature policy='require' name='svm'/>
----- end of guest configuration

--- nmcli script for static eth0 in VM guest
--- change 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.77 to suit your setup
#! /bin/bash

nmcli con del eth0
nmcli con add con-name eth0 ifname eth0 type ethernet ip4 192.168.0.77/24 gw4 192.168.0.1
nmcli con mod eth0 +ipv4.dns 192.168.0.1

One more thing.

Inside /usr/lib/modules-load.d/70-eucalyptus-node.conf there will be both:

kvm_amd

kvm_intel

Remove the line with the one you don't use. This will clear the error 

Mar 02 10:14:16 euca.qemu systemd-modules-load[374]: Failed to insert 'kvm_amd': Operation not supported

when you reboot

[Metta Crawler]

The system takes a long time to start. A way to monitor progress is to use

tail -f /var/log/eucalyptus/eucanetd.log

I rolled up a lot of the instructions into a script I call "install-installer"

#! /bin/bash

wget http://euca-chef.s3.amazonaws.com/eucalyptus-cookbooks-4.4.0.tgz

tar xvfz eucalyptus-cookbooks-4.4.0.tgz

git clone https://github.com/eucalyptus/eucalyptus-cookbook.git

rm -r cookbooks/eucalyptus/

mv eucalyptus-cookbook cookbooks/eucalyptus

tar cvfz my-cookbooks.tgz cookbooks

# Still installing on the graphics (video) console due to

# worries that the network will be cut off during installation.

# I run the runme script from the video console

cat <<EOF >runme

#! /bin/bash

./cookbooks/eucalyptus/faststart/cloud-in-a-box.sh -u file://$(pwd)/my-cookbooks.tgz

EOF

chmod +x runme

Then on the console run the runme script.

Oh, yeah. I forgot to mention that you have to change SELinux from enforcing to permissive before you install Eucalyptus.

The entire instructions all over again with all that:

18. copy /root/.euca to your account's home directory
19. Clean up  /usr/lib/modules-load.d/70-eucalyptus-node.conf, see below for details.

I am having issues with this fastinstall when it attempts to install on hardware not virtual centos 7.4 I get errors for Executing the requested script fails //etc/eucalyptus/cloud/scripts/initalize_cloud.groovy (Permission Denied)

Any Ideas on how to solve this. since the files in scripts are removed when eucalyptus is nuked.

[Metta Crawler]

Can to try again? I nuked all the old stuff about using cookbooks from S3.

One more thing, the runme script is dead, just run 

sudo ./install-installer.sh 

[Mike]

 Thank you for the quick reply

 install-installer.sh Line 20 points to  a non existent file . It should be  cd cookbooks/eucalyptus where you moved the file to.

It is now failing for Chef Yum install I have not worked with chef before so I have attached the error log for you to look at

I really appreciate the help.

 

[Metta Crawler]

I fixed line 19 instead. Please try again, thanks.
