<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><font size="2" face="sans-serif">This is my first mail on this list. So it contains some basic questions we have after making a first install of OpenNebula 2.0.</font>
<br>
<br><font size="2" face="sans-serif">First of all: the context:</font>
<br><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">We have installed OpenNebula 2.0, compiled from downloaded source files.</font>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">All the mandatory librairies are there but we have got some errors because OpenNebula requires a precise librairy version (ex: </font><font size="2" face="Courier New">libcrypto.so.6 when we have libcrypto.so.10 in Fedora14).</font>
</p><p><font size="2" face="Courier New">Anyway, we have succeeded to install a front end and a clusternode, both on Fedora12.</font>
</p><p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">We had to do everything using command lines. </font><font size="2" face="Courier New">The configuration of the Vms and the network must be done manually in text files. Is this the normal way ?</font></p>
</blockquote><div>Yes, OpenNebula uses simple, human-readable templates to make it both user and script friendly as possible.</div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
<p>
</p><p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">To get a graphical interface, do you suggest us to try </font><font size="3" color="#000080" face="Times New Roman"><u>Management Console</u></font><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"> from Sara ?</font></p>
</blockquote><div>You may want to ask about it in the ecosystem mailing list [1], but as far as I know the Management Console [2] is only compatible with OpenNebula 1.4.</div><div>The EC2 Query API tools [3] are a user-oriented alternative, you can give it a try and check if it suits you needs.</div>
<div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
<p>
</p><p>
</p><p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">The creation of images (of OS) must be done through an external tool (like virt-manager). Is this correct ?</font></p></blockquote><div>The actual virtualization will be performed by the hypervisor of your choice, so you can use any available tool for it.</div>
<div>But it is not mandatory, you can create them using only OpenNebula (creating blank images, where you will install the OS form a cd-rom iso).</div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
<p>
</p><p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">OpenNebula manages the Vms but not the OS images. Is this correct ?</font></p></blockquote><div>This was true for 1.4, but in OpenNebula 2.0 the Image repository [4] was introduced; and now you can let OpenNebula manage your image files.</div>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><p>
</p><p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">To manage IP addresses in the VMs, we need to use the contextualization mecanism. Is this correct ?</font></p></blockquote><div>That's the preferred way, yes. As a reminder, the contextualization guide is documented in [5].</div>
<div>There was an interesting thread some weeks ago about using DHCP instead, you can check it in the list archives [6]. </div>
<div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><p>
</p><p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">If we want to interface with a Vmware cloud, we need to use the Wmware drivers from C12G labs.</font></p></blockquote><div>That's right. Links: usage guide [7] and addon download [8].</div>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><p>
</p><p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">If we want to interface with another OpenNebula Cloud, we need to use the Libcloud Driver or the Deltacloud Driver from <a href="http://cisa-research.org" target="_blank">cisa-research.org</a>.</font></p>
</blockquote><div><meta charset="utf-8">We plan to release in the mid-term a federation toolkit specifically designed for OpenNebula, that will offer better integration than the components you mention.</div><div><meta charset="utf-8">You may be also interested in the EC2 driver [9] to outsource VMs to Amazon.</div>
