Eucalyptus installation

Question

I am trying to install Eucalyptus in a virtual machine. I am using vmware version 9 and Eucalyptus FastStart version 3.1 And the network adapter which I have choose is NAT..

I am having problem with front end installation. This are some details about the problem Details about my node controller

Host name:neel.localdomain
Wired connection:
Ip address:192.168.211.11
NetMask:24
Gateway:192.168.211.2
DNS Server:8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4

Wireless conection:
Ip address:192.168.211.12
NetMask:24
Gateway:192.168.211.3
DNS Server:8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4

Details about my front end
HostName:localhost.localdomain

wired connection:
Ip address:192.168.211.13
NetMask:24
Gateway:192.168.211.4
DNS Server:8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4

Wireless connection:
Ip address:192.168.211.14
NetMask:24
Gateway:192.168.211.5
DNS Server:8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4

Public Ip range list:
192.168.211.50-192.168.211.74

During node registration process i enter the following ip address 192.168.211.11 to get registered but i get the following error ssh:connect to host 192.168.211.11 port 22:no route to host rsync: connection unexpectedly closed(0 bytes received so far)[sender] rsync error:unexplained error (code 255) at io.c(600)[sender=3.0.6]

One more doubt of mine is while installing front end do node controller have to be in on state and also logged in and I am installing both the front end and also cloud controller in different virtual machine but in same laptop is that ok?

Answer 1

FastStart is intended for use on hardware, if you want to use Eucalyptus in a VM you might want to try eucadev although the intended usage is development and testing of Eucalyptus.

Answer 2

please refer to faststart guide:

https://www.eucalyptus.com/docs/eucalyptus/3.4/index.html#faststart-guide/index.html

And yes, I also have installed successfully Eucalyptus from Faststart using VMware workstation.

Basic idea is to Install Node Controller First & after that starts the Front end installation keeping node controller active on the same laptop using VMware.

Hope this will help to solve your NC registration problem.
