Hi,

I just took a look at your account and your API logs seem OK. I've
resumed your account, so feel free to let me know if you're experiencing
difficulties.

Hi

If you checked my account and it's OK so I think the problem is with the configuration or something else.

So what can I do now? how to check the correct configuration spotcloud.

Hi,

What exactly are you seeing (or not seeing) that looks incorrect?

I do not know how to start to offer in the market?

I have CentOS 5.5 64-bit with the spotcloud application.

Hi,

OK, so what you're providing buyers with in the market isn't the appliances themselves but your various hardware configurations.  The first step to making these available to spotcloud is ensuring that you've got a spotcloud user setup on your local ecp installation and that you've given them the appropriate permissions.  I believe this is documented in our spotcloud provider setup guide.

You're then going to want to create some hardware profiles if you haven't already.  If spotcloud can detect you're hardware profiles, you should be able to see them when you log into the spotcloud provider portal.  From that point forward, you can set individual prices for your various hardware offerings.  These are what you'll be presenting buyers with in the market.

I hope this better clarifies the process.  Please let me know if you need further assistance.

OK thank you for help but when I log into the portal spotcloud can't detect hardware profiles. So I registered new account and now is everything OK spotcloud detect my profiles.

If you can please delete account 1228.

I created hardware profiles. I created individual prices for the products and presented then to the market. I have another question whether it is enough to sell the product? I haven't to set additional configurations? set quota? set the IP address of machines? And how to improve my rating?

[Adam Boduch]

Hi,

Yes. If you've published your hardware profiles and they're visible in
the market, buyers are free to consume them. When machines are create,
the should be assigned an IP address via DHCP. ECP will detect started
machine IP addresses and report them back to SpotCloud. This is quite
important - machines that do not get valid IP addresses reported back
within 30 minutes of starting will be deemed invalid and subsequently
terminated. So you might want to create a few test machines within your
own ECP environment to ensure they're being assigned appropriate IP
addresses.

The best way to improve your rating is by ensuring that your provider
environment is always visible to SpotCloud. By that I mean, if
SpotCloud queries your provider API and doesn't get the expected result,
this will adversely affect your rating. Another thing to be sure of is
to make sure that, as mentioned above, you've got enough resources to
create new instances and that they're being assigned valid IP addresses.
SpotCloud will test this capability automatically for you and update
your rating based on the results.

You can view all this information in the provider logs inside your
SpotCloud provider dashboard.

So how to configure DHCP? because when I run the virtual machine system couldn't detected automatically address IP.

You wrote I can see inside the dashboard all the information but when I checked provider logs inside my SpotCloud provider dashboard I see everywhere 0MB, 0.00, 0MB it is normal?

[Adam Boduch]

I'll see if I can get you some help with the DHCP configuration (I'm no
expert there).

As for what you're looking at in the SpotCloud dashboard, you should be
able to see every request SpotCloud is sending to your provider under
the "logs" tab. This should give you an indication of what APIs are
functional, and which ones are failing.
