Young-Hyun commented on VCL-590:
--------------------------------

I've attached the openstack.pm that use the euca2ools APIs to communicate with Openstack Essex. 


1. OpenStack Essex Installation 

I think one of the best installation instruction for OpenStack Essex on Ubuntu is as follows: 
http://www.hastexo.com/resources/docs/installing-openstack-essex-20121-ubuntu-1204-precise-pangolin

2. Provisioning 'raw' file format image with IDE disk bus type (e.g., Windows XP images)

The OpenStack's default provisioning image type is 'qcow2' file format and 'virtio' bus type, respectively. To test images with raw file format with IDE disk bus type, 
you need to configure /etc/nova/nova.conf and change /usr/share/pyshared/nova/virt/libvirt.xml.template as like below: 

(a) Add the following options to /etc/nova/nova.conf
--use_cow_images=false
--libvirt_disk_prefix=hd

(b) Change the following part in /usr/share/pyshared/nova/virt/libvirt.xml.template. 
#set $root_disk_bus = 'virtio'  ==>  #set $root_disk_bus = 'virtio' => 'ide'

However, these are temporarily solutions for testing images with raw file format with ide bus type. It might cause problems when you provisioning of qcow2 file format with virtio disk bus type. 

3. Capturing images
euca-create-image has an issue on OpenStack Essex. I will add when the issue is solved.
