Hi Kevin,
Nice to e-meet you.
We have some doubts in open stack installation. Please help on this/
Hi,
What are you having problems with? Happy to help where I can.
Hi Kevin,
Thanks for sharing your wisdom. Without your insights, we would just not be able to make sense of OpenStack. Your scripts have started us off on the right track.
Kind regards,

Hi Kevin,
Thank you so much for posting the http://vimeo.com/39299140. I followed your video instruction, everything installed accordingly but I had an error when I was trying to access the Images and Snapshots in the OpenStack’s Dashboard. The errors are as follows:
Error: Unable to retrieve images.
Error: Unable to retrieve snapshots.
Also, under Object Store->Containers, I got this error:

Please help when you can. Thanks!

You need to set up Swift to get the Containers working. I suggest you look at http://swift.openstack.org/development_saio.html as a good place to start.
Hi Kevin,
Looking forward to the book! I thought you might be interested in including a bit on custom-branding the Essex Dashboard I just posted: http://www.prestonlee.com/2012/05/09/how-to-custom-brand-the-openstack-horizon-dashboard/

Hi Preston,
Thanks for that – most useful. Cheers.
Hi Kevin.
I have tried your install scipts. It works great for single node but for multi-node (one controller and one compute) fails script doesnt fail as such but always hit Remote error: NoMoreNetworks. I have made sure the network interfaces are configured correctly for public and private. I am using Qemu.
Please let me know if you need more ifnoramtion
BTW, I am using essex release of the scripts. Thanks again.
Chandra
What parameters did you use on the command line to install the servers?
For controller: ./OSinstall -T controller -p eth2 -F 192.168.245.0/24 -f 10.1.0.0/16 -t demo -v qemu
For compute: ./OSinstall -T compute -p eth2 -C 192.168.245.142 -F 192.168.245.0/24 -f 10.1.0.0/16 -t demo -v qemu
There is one more bug in script as well.. line number 415 (CC_ADDR=”") that needs to be deleted out
I also think.. you need this line in controller instead of what is out there now. It works once I changed it to what is shown below.
nova-manage network create vmnet –fixed_range_v4=${VMNET} –network_size=${NETWORK_SIZE} –bridge_interface=${PRIVATE_INTERFACE}
can you also delete line 64 in keystone-services.sh.. this is making -M flag to error. Also, in OSinstall.sh you may want to consider removing DB creation. It errors as well
Hi Sir,
Kindly installing openstack..
and stuck on this issue :
Error: Unable to retrieve images.
Error: Unable to retrieve snapshots.
When accessing Horizon, but when running on CLI everything is fine
How to probe and fix it manually?
Thank you so much
Btw, nice, elegant, and useful site
