OpenNebula can work with Hosts with a heterogeneous configuration, i.e. you can connect Hosts to the same OpenNebula with different hypervisors or Linux distributions. To learn how to prepare the hosts you can read the Node Installation guide. Clusters are pools of hosts that share datastores and virtual networks. 1.1.1 How Should I Read This Chapter In this chapter there are four guides describing these objects. • Host Management: Host management is achieved through the onehost CLI command or through the Sun- stone GUI. You can read about Host Management in more detail in the Managing Hosts guide. • Cluster Management: Hosts can be grouped in Clusters. These Clusters are managed with the onecluster CLI command, or through the Sunstone GUI. You can read about Cluster Management in more detail in the Managing Clusters guide. • Scheduler: Where you’ll learn how to change the scheduling configuration to suit your needs. For example changing the scheduling policies or the number of VMs that will be sent per host. • Datastore: Where you’ll learn about how to confgure and manage the different types of datastore types. You should read all the guides in this chapter to familiarize with these objects. For small and homogeneous clouds you may not need to create new clusters. 1.1.2 Hypervisor Compatibility These guides are compatible with all hypervisors. Note: Linux hosts will be mentioned when the information is applicable to LXD and KVM 1.2 Hosts In order to use your existing physical nodes, you have to add them to the system as OpenNebula Hosts. To add a host only its hostname and type is needed. Hosts are usually organized in Clusters, you can read more about it in the 1 OpenNebula 5.10 Operation Guide, Release 5.10.5 Managing Clusters guide. Warning: Before adding a Linux host check that you can ssh to it without being prompt for a password. 1.2.1 Create and Delete Hosts Hosts are the servers managed by OpenNebula responsible for Virtual Machine execution. To use these hosts in OpenNebula you need to register them so they are monitored and made available to the scheduler. Creating a host: $ onehost create host01 --im kvm --vm kvm ID:0 The parameters are: • --im/-i: Information Manager driver. • --vm/-v: Virtual Machine Manager driver. To remove a host, just like with other OpenNebula commands, you can either specify it by ID or by name. The following commands are equivalent: $ onehost delete host01 $ onehost delete0 1.2.2 Showing and Listing Hosts To display information about a single host the show command is used: HOST0 INFORMATION ID :0 NAME : server CLUSTER : server STATE : MONITORED IM_MAD : kvm VM_MAD : kvm LAST MONITORING TIME : 05/28 00:30:51 HOST SHARES TOTAL MEM :7.3G USED MEM(REAL):4.4G USED MEM(ALLOCATED) : 1024M TOTAL CPU : 400 USED CPU(REAL): 28 USED CPU(ALLOCATED): 100 TOTAL VMS :1 LOCAL SYSTEM DATASTORE #0 CAPACITY TOTAL: : 468.4G USED: : 150.7G FREE: : 314.7G MONITORING INFORMATION ARCH="x86_64" 1.2.

RETRY Yes Yes No Monitoring a host in error state (retry) The onehost tool includes three commands to set the operation mode of a host: disable, offline and enable, for example: $ onehost disable0 To re-enable the host use the enable command: $ onehost enable0 Similarly to put the host offline: $ onehost offline0 The flush command will migrate all the active VMs in the specified host to another server with enough capac- ity. At the same time, the specified host will be disabled, so no more Virtual Machines are deployed in it. This command is useful to clean a host of active VMs. The migration process can be done by a resched action or by a recover delete-recreate action, it can be configured at the /etc/one/cli/onehost.yaml by setting the

  • Based Services Using XRI-Based Apis for Enabling New E-Business
    International Journal of E-Business Development May. 2013, Vol. 3 Iss. 2, PP. 64-74 An Approach for the Composition of Generic Cloud- Based Services Using XRI-Based APIs for Enabling New E-Business Antonio Celesti1, Francesco Tusa2, Massimo Villari3, Antonio Puliafito4 DICIEAMA, Università degli Studi di Messina Contrada Di Dio, S. Agata 98166, Messina, Italia [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract-Nowadays, cloud computing offers more and more business opportunities, and thanks to the concept of virtualization, different types of cost-effective Cloud-based services have been rising. Virtualization of computing, storage, and networking resources, and their interconnection is at the heart of cloud computing, hence enabling new E-Business scenarios. In such a context, APIs for enabling Cloud-based services are strongly required, nevertheless, methods, mechanisms and tools for exploiting virtualized resources and their utilization for developing anything as a service (*aaS) are still ad-hoc and/or proprietary in nature. In this paper, we discuss how to use an adaptive standard protocol, i.e., XRI, for enabling cloud service providers to arrange their own Cloud- based services, building them on top of the IaaS provided by other service providers. Keywords- Cloud Computing; Cloud Management; Federation; Service Composition; E-Business I. INTRODUCTION Today, cloud computing represents a tempting business opportunity for ICT operators of increasing their revenues [1,2]. The cloud ecosystem begins to be clearer and the role played by cloud service providers appears more defined than the past. Moreover, the number of new public, private, and hybrid clouds rising all over the world is continually growing [3].

  • A Comparative Study of Current Open-Source Infrastructure As a Service Frameworks
    A Comparative Study of Current Open-source Infrastructure as a Service Frameworks Theo Lynn, Graham Hunt, David Corcoran, John Morrison and Philip Healy Irish Centre for Cloud Computing, Dublin 9, Ireland Keywords: Cloud Computing, Open Source, IaaS, Openstack, Cloudstack, Opennebula, Eucalyptus. Abstract: With the growth of cloud computing in recent years, several commercial and open source IaaS frameworks have emerged. The development of open source IaaS solutions offers a free and flexible alternative to commercial cloud services. The main contribution of this paper is to provide a qualitative comparative of current open-source IaaS frameworks. Existing research papers examining open source IaaS frameworks have focused on comparing OpenStack with a small number of alternatives. However, current research fails to adequately compare all major open source frameworks in a single study and notably lacks the inclusion of CloudStack. Our research paper provides the first overview of the five main open source cloud IaaS frameworks – OpenStack, CloudStack, OpenNebula, Eucalyptus and Nimbus. As such, this review provides researchers and potential users with an up to date and comprehensive overview of the features of each solution and allows for an easy comparison between the open source solutions. 1 INTRODUCTION the freedom to modify the source code and build a cloud that is pluggable and open to extensions while Cloud Computing technologies have seen significant reducing costs and avoiding vendor lock-in (Zhang adoption in recent years by enterprises, researchers et al., 2013; Wen et al. 2012; Bist et al., 2013).

  • OPENNEBULA and VMWARE Self-Service Cloud Management on Vmware Vcenter
    SOLUTION OVERVIEW OPENNEBULA AND VMWARE Self-Service Cloud Management on VMware vCenter Unified Cloud Experience across Distributed vCenter Instances As companies grow, gather more data, and create new workloads, but keep a hard focus on security and privacy, they are pushing beyond making decisions between whether “public” or “private” clouds are best for their enterprises, as it’s becoming clear that you can have the “best of both worlds”. For customers who have invested in an established, on-premises vSphere infrastructure, the burning questions are now: • How do I effectively turn my vSphere environment into a private cloud? • How can I best manage multiple data centers? • What’s the best way to exploit the benefits of established public cloud offerings and seamlessly integrate them with my private, on-premises cloud? Why OpenNebula + VMware Cloud on AWS is the Right Choice VMware Cloud on AWS enables customers to run, manage and secure applications in a production-ready, simple and consistent hybrid IT environment. The service enables organizations to continue using existing VMware tools to manage VMware Cloud on Bringing together best-of-breed AWS environments without having to purchase custom hardware, rewrite applications, technologies and capabilities or modify their operating models. With access to the broad range of AWS services, and the functionality, elasticity, and security customers have come to expect from the that create a seamless and AWS Cloud, the service lays the foundation to run, manage and secure production flexible hybrid cloud future for applications across vSphere®-based private, public and hybrid cloud environments customers, VMware and AWS with native access to innovative AWS services.
