[00:28] <rava> greetings
[00:28] <rava>  anyone know why ec2-run-instances seems to break a security group with
[00:28] <rava>        spaces in it into an array?
[00:29] <rava>  i'm passing the value in from a shell script with "my sec group"
[00:29] <rava> 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] <erichammond> rava: Sounds like you might have a shell argument expansion issue with your command line.  Perhaps not using the right quoting?
[00:34] <erichammond> rava: Or there could be a bug in ec2-run-instances command itself.
[00:34] <erichammond> oh, it works on your manual command line, so it's probably a quoting problem in your bash script.
[00:35] <rava> thought as much
[00:36] <erichammond> 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] <rava> sure thing, one sec while i clean it up :)
[00:40] <rava> erichammond: http://pastebin.com/tAAkukmE
[00:45] <erichammond> rava: Try sticking the word "eval" in front of "ec2-run-instances"
[00:46] <erichammond> rava: ec2_out=$(eval ec2-run-instances ...
[00:47] <rava> that worked, i keep forgetting about eval...
[00:48] <rava> thanks!
[00:58] <theTrav> 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] <theTrav> except maybe making an image on them that runs a virtualbox image :P
[01:02] <erichammond> theTrav: If you are building custom images, then you can easily migrate.
[01:25] <erichammond> theTrav: Start with the dowloadable image, customize it, and use it for both EC2 and UEC.
[01:25] <erichammond> theTrav: You can also snapshot a running instance on EC2 and build the UEC image from a copy of that file system.
[01:26] <erichammond> theTrav: In many cases I recommend starting with a standard base image and applying software installation/configuration at run time.
[01:28] <erichammond> theTrav: Then you're not copying big, complicated images around, but just small, clear startup instructions.
[01:55] <theTrav> erichammond: yeah, one of the guys here recommended I look into Chef
[01:56] <theTrav> 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] <erichammond> 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] <erichammond> theTrav: The installer would end up creating files.  Perhaps you can tar up the results and install them on new systems.
[15:40] <TeTeT> 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] <TeTeT> Daviey: question just came up in our UEC class
[15:46] <Daviey> yes!
[15:46] <Daviey> ih.. no
[15:47] <Daviey> TeteT. sadly we cannot currently oversubscribe memory.
[15:47] <TeTeT> Daviey: thanks for the quick answer!
[15:48] <Daviey> UEC.. uses virt.. not containers.. whuch wiuld allow it
[15:49] <Daviey> wow... typo fail.
[15:51] <TeTeT> kvm with ksm should be possible to oversubscribe memory, not?
[15:51] <TeTeT> other question is: can there be multiple sc in a cluster? I guess not, but not sure
[16:15] <elasticdog> if I changed a CC's IP address and want to make sure it gets re-registered, what do I do?
[16:15] <elasticdog> "euca_conf --list-clusters" shows the old IP address
[16:17] <elasticdog> /var/log/eucalyptus/registration.log seems to indicate that it's "Calling cluster cluster01 ..." at the correct (new) IP address
[16:24] <elasticdog> looks like manually deregistering/registering works for the CC/SC...now to fix the NC's
[16:30] <Kiall> 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] <Kiall> 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] <elasticdog> Kiall: thanks, I will...the whole process seems a bit wonky
[16:55] <Kiall> i don't think your really meant to re-number things ;)
[16:56] <elasticdog> Kiall: my whole install is a bit of a mess...basically I wanted to change to static IPs after everything was installed
[16:56] <Kiall> yup .. that would do it ;)
[16:59] <elasticdog> 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
