[08:08] areay: Hi .. are you saying if your NC has 2 cores .. you can only launch two VMs ? [08:09] areay, kim0 : there's a MAX_CORE or MAX_CORES setting for the nc that overrides the default [08:10] kim0 -- i haven't actually gotten that far yet lol.. but the ubuntu server guide says that "by default, Eucalyptus will only run 1 VM per CPU core on a Node." [08:10] TeTeT, how do i configure that setting? [08:11] areay: I have the following entry: [08:11] /etc/eucalyptus/eucalyptus.conf:MAX_CORES="32" [08:12] on the node controller. So this node can host up to 32 vm's, which is a bit high, but it's only for training and testing [08:12] thanks bro :) sorry i'm new at this -- that should have been the first place i looked [08:13] TeTeT, how do i reload the settings after i edit the file? i better ask or i'll end up rebooting like a noob lol [08:13] areay: sudo restart eucalyptus-nc or sudo restart eucalyptus-nc CLEAN=1 [08:13] tyvm! [08:13] areay: be aware that you loose any already running instances on that node [08:14] np i don't have any yet :) also my node is saying kvm disabled by bios -- is that as big of a problem as it sounds? [08:15] I think so .. visit bios and try enabling any virtulization thing [08:16] kk cool i'm on it :) thanks u guys are stars [08:53] ok, i've downloaded and installed an image... once i instantiate it, what happens if it, the NC, or the CC reboots? do i need to save snapshots? i'm kinda lost :/ === kiall|AFK is now known as kiall === kiall is now known as kiall|AFK [09:20] ok ignore above post -- my instance is running... but i cannot ping or connect via ssh. i instantiated using hybridfox, and when i choose "connect" it's asking me for a private key file? where do i find this key? === kiall|AFK is now known as kiall [09:24] ok i'm getting further -- i get output from ssh now but i need that key :/ [09:34] <-- stupid. i didn't create a keypair before i instantiated... disregard above question ;) === kiall is now known as kiall|AFK === kiall|AFK is now known as kiall === kiall is now known as Kiall [11:25] areay: good luck with your discovery of uec :) [11:47] haha thanks tetet :) === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk [14:19] echo -at $logdir [14:20] oh,sorry [14:35] :) === RoAkSoAx is now known as andreserl === Kiall is now known as Kiall|AFK [18:01] Hi all... I have a couple questions about the basics of UEC/cloud computing in general -- firstly, i understand that instances are considered disposable - if i want specialized "appliances" (mysql, vpn, etc) do i need to create custom images in order to be able to swap them out on the fly with minimal configuration? [18:01] or do i create a "snapshot"? [18:03] also, i understand that sensitive data should be kept on a "volume" -- are these volumes held on the nc or on the clc/cc/sc/walrus box? [18:06] if anyone can answer even one of these questions i'd be extremely appreciative :) [18:34] areay: yes instances are disposable, yes important data should be on a volume .. which is stored on SC [18:34] areay: for appliances .. I would boot a generic image then customize it using something like cloud-init and/or puppet [18:36] kim0, so customize it as a running instance? or chroot into the image? --also once the image is done what's the best way to save it? [18:36] areay: It's not like that .. the "modify instance, then make an image out of it" [18:37] is a valid approach .. but not the solution I'd recommend .. instead [18:37] I'd boot generinc image, it picks up customization instructions from cloud-init and/or puppet, it becomes "mysql-appliance", then mounts ebs volume which your data, now it's your-appliance [18:38] no snapshotting needed [18:38] everything can be rebuilt in seconds [18:40] kim0, sounds good -- which is better, cloud-init or puppet? [18:41] areay: ehum .. consider them complementary :) [18:41] cloud-init is for initial bootstrapping .. you can stop there .. or you can continue with puppet [18:41] read more about both .. and see what you want to use [18:42] sorry for the noobish questions -- i'm VERY new to all this and the documentation available is sparse at best.. i was using multi-roled servers before.. is there like a guide or anything? a simple guide to setup a lamp appliance or something would be ideal so i can see all this in practice... [18:43] areay: check out my cloud-init stuff at http://foss-boss.blogspot.com/search/label/cloud-init [18:43] awesome :) tyvm kim0 [18:43] areay: read bottom to top :) has wordpress example (LAMP stack) and all [18:44] kim0, nice blog btw -- i take it that's yours :) [18:45] yep :) [18:45] * kim0 afk for now === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates
