Problem creating role from cloudstack (non-scalr)

[Bill Bartlett]

Hello,

I'm trying to create a role from a running instance on my cloudplatform installation.  When I execute the suggested scalarizr parameters, I'm presented with an error:

[root@bbartlett-test ~]# scalarizr --import -y -o server-id=xxxxx -o role-name=centos-63-base -o crypto-key=xxxxx -o platform=cloudstack -o queryenv-url=https://my.scalr.com/query-env -o messaging-p2p.producer-url=https://my.scalr.com/messaging -o env-id=xxxx -o region=xxxx -o scalr-id=xxxxx

2014-03-10 11:40:27,259 - INFO - scalarizr.app - [pid: 3239] Starting scalarizr 2.5.11

Starting import process...

Don't terminate Scalarizr until Scalr will create the new role

2014-03-10 11:40:27,260 - INFO - scalarizr.config - State: importing

[root@bbartlett-test ~]# scalarizr --version

Scalarizr 2.5.11 

Is there something obvious I'm missing?

Thanks,

Bill

There was indeed something very obvious that I was missing.  When I installed scalarizr, I followed the instructions from the git repo, which suggests the following:

2) Add Scalr repo:

        vim /etc/yum.repos.d/scalr.repo

        [scalarizr]

        name=scalarizr

        baseurl=<url>

        enabled=1

        gpgcheck=0

Where <url> is

        For RHEL/CentOS:

                http://rpm.scalr.net/rpm/rhel/$releasever/$basearch

        For Fedora:

                http://rpm.scalr.net/rpm/fedora/$releasever/$basearch

3) Install Scalarizr

        yum install scalarizr

What the INSTALL fails to mention is that there are several other packages for the various cloud options:

============================================== N/S Matched: scalarizr ===============================================

scalarizr-base.noarch : Scalarizr converts any server to Scalr-manageable node

scalarizr-cloudstack.noarch : Scalarizr CloudStack (cloud.com) edition

scalarizr-devtools.noarch : A scalarizr devtools manager

scalarizr-ec2.noarch : Scalarizr EC2 edition

scalarizr-eucalyptus.noarch : Scalarizr Eucalyptus edition

scalarizr-gce.noarch : Scalarizr Google Compute Engine edition

scalarizr-idcf.noarch : Scalarizr IDCF edition

scalarizr-nimbula.noarch : Scalarizr Nimbula edition

scalarizr-openstack.noarch : Scalarizr OpenStack edition

scalarizr-rackspace.noarch : Scalarizr Rackspace edition

scalarizr-ucloud.noarch : Scalarizr uCloud (Korea Telecom) edition

All I needed to do was to install the scalarizr-cloudstack package and the process looks to have started correctly.  I'll update the thread if there are any further errors.

Thanks,

Bill

Hey Bill,

Thanks for reporting this. Scalarizr's INSTALL file is indeed not very up to date (the reference file would be this one: https://scalr-wiki.atlassian.net/wiki/x/1w8b). 

Let's get this updated,

Thanks!
