[00:28] greetings [00:28] anyone know why ec2-run-instances seems to break a security group with [00:28] spaces in it into an array? [00:29] i'm passing the value in from a shell script with "my sec group" [00:29] doing it manually via the commandline seems to work, but wrapped in a var in a bash script and ec2-run-instances seems to think it should eval each word in the string as a seperate sec grp [00:33] rava: Sounds like you might have a shell argument expansion issue with your command line. Perhaps not using the right quoting? [00:34] rava: Or there could be a bug in ec2-run-instances command itself. [00:34] oh, it works on your manual command line, so it's probably a quoting problem in your bash script. [00:35] thought as much [00:36] If you can pastebin your shell script, somebody might be able to glance at it and give feedback. Make sure you remove any private info. [00:36] sure thing, one sec while i clean it up :) [00:40] erichammond: http://pastebin.com/tAAkukmE [00:45] rava: Try sticking the word "eval" in front of "ec2-run-instances" [00:46] rava: ec2_out=$(eval ec2-run-instances ... [00:47] that worked, i keep forgetting about eval... [00:48] thanks! === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk [00:58] erichammond: thanks, I figured that might be the case... It kind of implies that there's no neat/easy migration between the two platforms [00:59] except maybe making an image on them that runs a virtualbox image :P [01:02] theTrav: If you are building custom images, then you can easily migrate. [01:25] theTrav: Start with the dowloadable image, customize it, and use it for both EC2 and UEC. [01:25] theTrav: You can also snapshot a running instance on EC2 and build the UEC image from a copy of that file system. [01:26] theTrav: In many cases I recommend starting with a standard base image and applying software installation/configuration at run time. [01:28] theTrav: Then you're not copying big, complicated images around, but just small, clear startup instructions. [01:55] erichammond: yeah, one of the guys here recommended I look into Chef [01:56] there's a pretty nasty closed source dependency on the project though with a fairly horrendous installer, so I'm not sure how well I could script that [01:56] theTrav: Sure, those configuration management frameworks are used by many, but simple shell scripts are often all you need, especially if you are configuring from a known starting point (base image). [01:57] theTrav: The installer would end up creating files. Perhaps you can tar up the results and install them on new systems. === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates [15:40] Daviey: would you know if there's something like MAX_MEM akin to MAX_CORES where a admin can oversubscribe memory on a NC for UEC? [15:41] Daviey: question just came up in our UEC class [15:46] yes! [15:46] ih.. no [15:47] TeteT. sadly we cannot currently oversubscribe memory. [15:47] Daviey: thanks for the quick answer! [15:48] UEC.. uses virt.. not containers.. whuch wiuld allow it [15:49] wow... typo fail. [15:51] kvm with ksm should be possible to oversubscribe memory, not? [15:51] other question is: can there be multiple sc in a cluster? I guess not, but not sure [16:15] if I changed a CC's IP address and want to make sure it gets re-registered, what do I do? [16:15] "euca_conf --list-clusters" shows the old IP address [16:17] /var/log/eucalyptus/registration.log seems to indicate that it's "Calling cluster cluster01 ..." at the correct (new) IP address [16:24] looks like manually deregistering/registering works for the CC/SC...now to fix the NC's [16:30] any of the UEC devs about? (or anyone familiar with patching/compiling euca on ubuntu...) - I keep running into some issues when building saying patches dont remove cleanly... [16:31] elasticdog, you might want to test the hell out of it once you're done :) I've never managed to re-number UEC components without hassles.. [16:55] Kiall: thanks, I will...the whole process seems a bit wonky [16:55] i don't think your really meant to re-number things ;) [16:56] Kiall: my whole install is a bit of a mess...basically I wanted to change to static IPs after everything was installed [16:56] yup .. that would do it ;) [16:59] it's also compounded by installing on new mac mini's, and the ethernet driver isn't in 10.04 by default, so I used a USB->Ethernet adapter to install, then compiled the proper kernel module [17:39] login === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates === Kiall is now known as Kiall|AFK === Kiall|AFK is now known as Kiall === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates
