| superxgl | hi all , as in http://support.rightscale.com/12Guides/RightScale_Methodologies/Monitoring_System/Writing_custom_collectd_plugins/Custom_Collectd_Plug-ins_for_Linux | 13:55 |
| superxgl | it uses instance-id as the hostname, i don't know if it is can directly apply to eucalyptus ? | 13:56 |
| superxgl | is the instance-id binded with it's ip address ? | 14:00 |

| TeTeT | smoser: hi, do you have a few minutes to discuss the ebs root, lucid and Launchpad things? | 15:04 |
| smoser | TeTeT, sure. i'm just back now. | 15:38 |
| TeTeT | smoser: great. I've started writing up the exercise, will take the remainer of today to be finished and checking it tomorrow | 15:39 |
| smoser | there are lots of things we can do to make it more polished. | 15:40 |
| TeTeT | smoser: on the launchpad project, I'll happily get the infrastructure going. Should there be a special team driving it? Like server team or a newly founded one? Do you have any preference on project/team name? | 15:40 |
| TeTeT | smoser: I was thinking of calling it 'uec-ebs-root' or 'uec-persistency' | 15:41 |
| smoser | hm.. i kind of like both of those. i like staying away from "ebs-root" as its not really "ebs root". | 15:41 |
| TeTeT | smoser: ok, so let's call it 'uec-persistency', that would allow the project to foster other relevant pieces, if need be | 15:42 |
| smoser | sure... | 15:42 |
| smoser | ignore the ... | 15:43 |
| smoser | i dont knowwhy i typed that | 15:43 |
| TeTeT | smoser: I'll get it started asap and create a likely named team, making you, tom and me admins, so we can add people at will | 15:43 |
| smoser | great. | 15:44 |
| smoser | thanks, TeTeT | 15:44 |
| kim0 | what's that uec-persistency thing ? | 15:46 |
| smoser | TeTeT, in the end, i really think we should have downloadables of a "loader" kernel and ramdisk . | 15:47 |
| smoser | then, the only thing hte user really needs to do is create the ebs volume. | 15:47 |
| smoser | kim0, https://code.launchpad.net/~smoser/+junk/kexec-loader | 15:47 |
| smoser | the readme there is probably not all that readable | 15:48 |
| TeTeT | kim0: I'm writing a UEC class exercise for it, if you want to proof and test it, let me know | 15:49 |
| smoser | but th eidea is that we use kexec as a loader. we supply a kernel and ramdisk. that allows both ebs-root-like function *and* reboot into a new kernel on 10.04 + | 15:49 |
| smoser | reboot into new kernel function exists in 10.10 already | 15:49 |
| kim0 | wow :) | 15:49 |
| kim0 | sounds yummy | 15:50 |
| TeTeT | smoser: do you think it can be automated that much? Guess a script can do it | 15:50 |
| smoser | well, we just supply the kernel/ramdisk. there is only a need for 1. | 15:51 |
| smoser | well, 2. | 15:51 |
| kim0 | we don't have kexec reboots on metal yet right | 15:51 |
| smoser | 1 kernel, 1 ramdisk for ebs-root-like, 1 ramdisk for non-ebs-root. | 15:51 |
| smoser | then, all we need is somethign that takes a ami and puts it onto an ebs volume (this is trivial for ubuntu images, and simple for anything that has grub2) | 15:52 |
| smoser | kim0, no ? | 15:52 |
| kim0 | smoser: you tell me | 15:52 |
| kim0 | just never heard of Ubuntu having it | 15:53 |
| kim0 | if we do, why isn't it on by default | 15:53 |
| kim0 | as in "reboot" does it ? | 15:53 |
| smoser | you've never done 'apt-get install kexec-tools' | 15:53 |
| TeTeT | TREllis: ^^^ | 15:53 |
| smoser | yes, it "just works". | 15:53 |
| smoser | but this is different, actually, kim0. it doesn't use that. | 15:53 |
| kim0 | smoser: you're saying, apt-get install kexec-tools && reboot | 15:54 |
| kim0 | will kexec ? | 15:54 |
| smoser | the reason its different is that eucalyptus continually loads the initial kernel and ramdisk from outside the image. | 15:54 |
| smoser | every time. | 15:54 |
| smoser | and that kernel/ramdisk is just configured such that it mounts root, finds kernel and ramdisk, and kexec loads that. | 15:54 |
| smoser | kim0, you have to turn it on, (/etc/default/kexec) but other than that, yes. | 15:54 |
| kim0 | awesome .. can't wait to reboot :) | 15:54 |
| kim0 | is that eucalyptus's way of pvgrub | 15:55 |
| smoser | well, no, this is not from eucalyptus | 15:55 |
| smoser | and this is separate from what we *have* in 10.10 | 15:55 |
| smoser | 10.10 solutoin is actually cleaner. | 15:55 |
| smoser | we load any multiboot image that the user provides | 15:56 |
| kim0 | smoser: do you agree with the high level structure of the updated page | 16:29 |
| smoser | i think so , yeah | 16:29 |
| kim0 | feel free to revert it :) | 16:29 |
| kim0 | hehe | 16:29 |

| Kyle__ | I'm trying to setup a small cluster, one head, three nodes, and keep having problems trying to get walrus going. | 21:52 |
| Kyle__ | WHen I go to configuration, it simply says "failed to contact server". According to /etc/init.d/eucalyptus-walrus and /etc/init.d/eucalyptus-walrus-publication, everything is running. | 21:53 |

| Kyle__ | Anyone? Simple UEC install (chose defaults) on closed network, walrus not showing up, can't download images. | 22:15 |
| Kyle__ | (successfully download images) | 22:15 |
