openstack and VCL ?
Hi Folks,
I think Tony from ECU asked about this before.
Has anyone worked with openstack http://openstack.org/ ?
I think integrating openstack provisioning into the VCL framework
would benefit VCL. It could also benefit openstack and their current
users. From what I understand, Openstack has a large commercial base
of users and could be a way to expose VCL to more commercial users.
Unless I'm wrong, currently openstack doesn't provide a self-service
interface for users to VDI or clusters, nor does it provide bare-metal
loads. VCL with xCAT could provide that for that community in a short
time-frame.
Is there anyone interested in investigating and working on an
openstack provisioning module ? I don't think it will take a huge
amount of work, one would need to know openstack and how to add in a
VCL provisioning module. I'd be willing to assist but would need
someone to take the lead on it.
Thoughts?
I know this is a development question, but also felt this is big
enough to include folks on the vcl-user list.
Best,
Aaron

Re: ESXi 4.1 image for VCL reservation
Posted by Andy Kurth <an...@ncsu.edu>.
Why yes, you sure could. :) Forgot I created that. It is used for
our ESXi xCAT kickstart installs. All it does is override all of the
things Linux.pm post_load does. It only waits for the ESXi computer
to respond to SSH. Our kickstart file configures everything including
the public and private networking. I can share this if its helpful.
The module is adequate for ESXi server installs (tovmhostinuse state)
and reload reservations. For user reservations, you would need to add
the following subroutines:
-reserve
-grant_access
-is_user_connected
-sanitize (optional - If not implemented the computer will be reloaded
if a user makes a reservation but never logs in)
Also look at OS.pm::process_connect_methods. I haven't worked on this
part of the code myself but you'll need to either implement the
firewall subroutines that process_connect_methods calls.
In order to use the module for the new server reservation feature in
2.3, you'd have to add a manage_server_access subroutine.
To be able to capture images, a pre_capture subroutine is needed.

Could I extend existing ESXi.pm module at /usr/local/vcl/lib/VCL/Module/OS/Linux/ESXi.pm?
Everyhing you described seems to be already in place - entry for esxi OS (OSid), module name/path.

Re: ESXi 4.1 image for VCL reservation
Posted by Andy Kurth <an...@ncsu.edu>.
You could create an ESXi.pm OS module. It would inherit from Linux.pm
since some of the Linux subroutines will work under ESXi. The module
would reside at:
lib/VCL/Module/OS/Linux/ESXi.pm
Entries would have to be added to the module and OS tables in the
database. Set your image.OSid value to the new value you enter in the
OS table.
Some of the subroutines in Linux.pm already work as you have noticed.
I changed a few of them a while back to work with ESXi of them to
which are called by the VMware.pm provisioning module when SSH is used
to control the VM host. For the ones which don't work, you would
define subroutines in ESXi.pm to override the ones in Linux.pm or
OS.pm such as create_user.
For the networking problems, you would probably define a post_load
subroutine in ESXi.pm which performs operations necessary to configure
the virtual switches appropriately such as running esxcfg-vswitch and
esxcfg-vmknic.
This would be very useful for us at NCSU. I would be happy to help
get this added.

Re: ESXi 4.1 image for VCL reservation

I'm not looking for nested hypervisors - this would work for someone who wants to play/study ESXi server. But even in this case VCL needs a module to handle ESXi reservation - this step would fail for nested esxi as well…
How would I add/use/load a new pm module for ESXi reservation? I plan to use ESXi image along with a Windows sub-image with vSphere client, so ESXi server won't need public IP address in this case…
I only need to address reservation steps (ie. get IP, add user, etc.) - xCAT/VCL already handles ESXi install process.
Thanks.

Re: ESXi 4.1 image for VCL reservation
Posted by Mike Haudenschild <mi...@longsight.com>.
There is definitely a performance penalty for running ESXi as a guest OS.
I don't think the hardware virtualization features of the CPU can be
passed on to an ESXi guest, which also means no 64-bit guests inside the
ESXi guest.
Suggest reading the notes on this blog:

Definitely doable.
Also might be worth doing it within a ESXi server. Nested hypervisor -
possibly a bit better control on which networks are visible.
With the connection methods in the next release, you could define
vsphere client as the connection method.

ESXi 4.1 image for VCL reservation
Posted by Dmitri Chebotarov <dc...@gmu.edu>.
Hi, All
Is it posible to add ESXi 4.1 image to VCL, so users can make reservation for ESXi 4.1 server?
May be someone else already has it working…. May be there is separate module for ESXi support?
I have configured xCAT/VCL and I'm able to reload a blade with ESXi 4.1 using kickstart script via Manage Computers.
But when a user makes reservation for ESXi 4.1 - it fails. So far it fails for two reasons - no Public interface and cannot create user on ESXi hosts.
VCL is using Linux.pm module and ESXi doesn't support it.
Thanks.

Thanks for the update. This sounds like good progress.
You should be able to create a jira issue using your jira account.
Let me know if you can't and I'll be happy to create one.

Hi Aaron,
I've been also working on Openstack plugin for VCL and finished the POC
test on Openstack Essex with Ubuntu 12.04 x64 server. The reservations
works but there are still some issues on capturing (or snapshot) images in
Openstack Essex. If you can create jira issue, I could post my initial work
in details and share some configuration tips with others. Thank you.

Hi Young,
At the moment we've tested our module with Amazon EC2 and OpenStack's
Cactus release. Provisioning works, though there's still a few issues that
need resolving. We're also still deciding the best approach to take with
image capture, especially for Windows images. We definitely want to get
everyone's thoughts on this once it's open sourced.
It'll be great to get a chance to talk with you at the conference.

Hi Young,
At the moment we've tested our module with Amazon EC2 and OpenStack's
Cactus release. Provisioning works, though there's still a few issues that
need resolving. We're also still deciding the best approach to take with
image capture, especially for Windows images. We definitely want to get
everyone's thoughts on this once it's open sourced.
It'll be great to get a chance to talk with you at the conference.

Hi Cameron,
Sounds great. Our team are also interested in implementing the OpenStack
Provisioning module to VCL at IBM tivioli. The stage here is also in the
proof of concept and I've tried to build up the test environment now. But
before I go further, I'd like to know whether you already implemented the
openstack provisioning module or not. I'd like to avoid any duplicating
efforts on the same work. If you already finished, please let me know.
Also, I'll join the ICA CON 2012 and I'm looking forward to your
presentation. We can discuss more details about your work after it. Thank
you.

Great. I'll create a jira issue on it to give it an initial home. You
should see it come across the vcl-dev list shortly.
Thanks again and looking forward to your presentation.

Hi Cameron,
That's wonderful.
I understand this is a POC now, but also thats a great point in
development cycle to get more eyes looking at it. Would you be
comfortable (if not now, soon) submitting the work under ASF for
review by the VCL community? Also with that we could work toward
bringing you or your lead on this effort in as a apache vcl committer.
I look forward to seeing you at ICA CON 2012

Re: openstack and VCL ?
Posted by Cameron Mann <ca...@cybera.ca>.
Hi Aaron,
One of the things we're working on at Cybera is an EC2 provisioning module.
We've also done a lot of work with OpenStack and our intent is for the
module not just to work with Amazon EC2 but any cloud that implements the
EC2 API, including OpenStack. Right now it's very much in a proof of
concept state, but our intent is to open source it once some of the rough
edges are smoothed over.
We'll also be presenting a paper at the upcoming ICA CON 2012 on our work
so far.
