XenServer Plugin for Fuel 6.1
|
|
=============================
|
|
|
|
XenServer is an Open Source hypervisor with commercial support options
|
|
provided by Citrix. This plugin provides a new Release definition in
|
|
Mirantis OpenStack to allow easy installation of production
|
|
environments based on XenServer with Fuel.
|
|
|
|
Requirements
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
========================= ===============
|
|
Requirement Version/Comment
|
|
========================= ===============
|
|
Fuel 6.1
|
|
XenServer 6.5 SP1
|
|
XenServer plugin for Fuel 1.0.1
|
|
========================= ===============
|
|
|
|
* This plugin will not install XenServer or configure the Virtual
|
|
Machines used to run the OpenStack services. Installation of
|
|
XenServer and configuration of these Virtual Machines must be
|
|
performed manually.
|
|
* Each hypervisor must have the same access credentials as Fuel
|
|
does not support per-node settings.
|
|
* One Virtual Machine, which will be used to run Nova (the compute
|
|
node), must exist on each hypervisor. This must be created as an
|
|
HVM guest (in XenCenter, use the "Other Install Media" template) and
|
|
configured to PXE boot from the PXE network used by Fuel.
|
|
* XenCenter is expected to be used to configure VMs, and is required
|
|
by the HIMN tool in the installation steps
|
|
* Network 'br100' must exist on the XenServer hypervisors. This
|
|
network will be added automatically to Virtual Machines and the
|
|
compute nodes must have access to this network.
|
|
|
|
Limitations
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
* The plugin is **only** compatible with OpenStack environments deployed with
|
|
**Nova Network** as network configuration in the environment configuration
|
|
options. The plugin will disable incompatible options when the XenServer
|
|
Release is selected.
