[Rocks-Discuss] Eucalyptus

[Funlola Ogunleye]

Hello everyone,
I am trying to install Eucalyptus to the cluster and I was able to install
the required RPMS to the frontend of my cluster. I am following the
Eucalyptus directions to install some RPMS on the compute nodes and also
the ROCKS directions to add packages to compute nodes. I am a little
confused for the ROCKS directions, especially the part where it states that
I have to "Create a new XML configuration file that will *extend* the
current compute.xml configuration file:" For example, how would I enter
command if I want to enter the package with the base name aoetools and how
would i know that it is installed on the compute nodes?

Hey Funlola,
you can find all the info you are looking for at:
http://www.rocksclusters.org/roll-documentation/base/5.4.3/customization.html

I also have a beta roll which installs Eucalyptus on your cluster, but
it runs only on 5.4.3 64bit, if you are interested in testing it let
me know.

Unfortunately, I installed the i386 version of Rocks Cluster and am
installing the same of Eucalyptus. Did you make the roll? If so, maybe you
can show me how so I can make the i386 version

Hey Funlola,
you can check out the code with
hg clone http://fyp.rocksclusters.org/hg/rocks-contrib/
then you'll find the roll inside the misspelled directory "eucaliptus"

you will have to cheange a lot of rpms inside the directory src/RPMS

Sincerely,
Luca

Hey Luca,
Thank you for your recent help with the Eucalyptus. I can definitely use
your assistance for this project Im working for in college. I am trying to
run a cloud software where users can run loaded software that I will host
from the cloud without them installing on their computer. Is this possible
with ROCKS and EUCALYPTUS? If so, I could use some guidance

Yes,
it is possible, and the practical example is eucalyptus roll which you
can get running the following command:
hg clone http://fyp.rocksclusters.org/hg/rocks-contrib/

It is obviously necessary a good understanding of Unix/Linux (you can
find tons of tutorial on line), Rocks
(http://www.rocksclusters.org/roll-documentation/base/5.4.3/) and of
Eucalyptus (http://open.eucalyptus.com/wiki/EucalyptusAdministratorGuide_v2.0).

Since Eucalyptus is based on Amazon EC2 and Amazon EC2 documentation
is much better (at least in my opinion) I would start reading EC2
documentation to get a good understanding of how the framework is
supposed to work.

Sincerely,
Luca
