how can i do provision for openstack from the platform?

[charlietritran]

i can install the accords-platform without any issue. i can verify that with co-start, co-status, co-stop, and co-check. but i could not be able to do provision with my local openstack. i have two guest VMs of a Linux host.

• one vm has my local devstack, called grizzily, with ubuntu server 12.04, 64bit.
• the other vm has the accord-platform with ubuntu server 64 bit,12.04, too.
• both of the vms can ping against eachother, and both can access internet.
• for the devstack vm, i can use CLI to add img, boot img, create user, project, .... ect using nova-manage, glance, and keystone, ... i can also do the same in openstack dashboard. i can access to instances from CLI, too, using ssh within that VM.
• for the compatible-one VM, i follow the instruction with manually installation, and can do co-start, co-stop, ... and see all processes started up fine.
• but the problem is that when i try in compatible-one VM terminal, testos --user xxx --password yyy --host http://dev-stack-ip:5000/v2.0/ --detail LIST FLAVORS, then i got nothing in return as if the testos cmd does not do anything, and moves to next line/promt in terminal. but if i make a wrong parameter names, for ex, --user1 xxx, then it will complains. if i put this url, http://dev-stack-ip:5000/v2.0/, in the browser, i can see some data pulled back from devstack vm.
• so, i would like to know if anyone has any advice as how to test the connection of this compatible-one with a local openstack correctly and using the TESOS with a successful result!

thank you, charlietritran

solved.

• make sure to update os_config.xml with correct value: new acct, url, ports, ... etc!
• and have enough spacing set in manifest for the new instance in openstack vm
• for troubleshooting, check co-log in platform vm for error
• for the testos cmd, it never still works though but be able to provision new instance for os vm.
• also, check nova db of openstack vm to see if new instance is saved, and if so, what is the status.

now, have to figure out the provisioning of instance for aws via this broker. still look for a solution. what i am having is username, pwd, secret-key, access-key. don't know where is the url for ec2config.xml. anyone ever done or give me some hint?

thanks!

Hello, the provisioning through Accords Platform is essentially the same as for OpenStack.

The ec2procci needs to be running with the "accords" account configured to provide the subscription information of your AWS EC2 Account as follows: "name" must be set to the account name of at least "accords""authenticate" field must specify the file name of your certificate on the local machine"accessKey" and "secretKey" must specify the information of the same nature"location" must specify the AWS location information of where your account has been created (eg: us-west-2)"host" must specify the aws access point "http://www.amazonaws.com""user" must specify your account login name"password" must specify the password for the user login."verion" must be set to "v1.1""agent" must specify the user-agent name. the value is not important but must not be a null string other fields are not important I hope this helps.SincerelyJamie Marshall

Hi ijm667,

I am confused about this line: "authenticate" field must specify the file name of your certificate on the local machine. what is this file come from? and what is the format? is that xxx.pem? how can i have that file?
