Virtualisation is used to hide information like physical location and architectural details of the resources from the user. Eucalyptus is an open-source software framework for cloud computing implementing Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). It is tailored for the use in the research community. Users can run and control virtual machine instances on a variety of physical resources found within academic settings. 2 Requirements Eucalyptus can be installed via the Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud, introduced in Ubuntu 9.04 [3]. The following installation instructions are based on Ubuntu 9.10 Server edition. In terms of hardware requirements recommended minimum specification is a a dual-core 2.2 GHz processor with virtualization extension (Intel-VT or AMD-V), 4GB RAM and 100 GB hard drive. 1 3 Installation procedure • Ubuntu 9.10, server edition • dual-core 2.2 GHz processor with virtualization extension (Intel-VT or AMD-V), 4GB RAM and 100 GB hard drive. • port 22 needs to be open for admins (for maintenance) • port 8443 needs to be open for users for controlling and sending requests to the cloud via a web interface 3 Installation procedure The installation instructions in this manual closely follow those given on the \Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud" homepage [2], with some remarks regarding installation from scratch via the Ubuntu 9.10 server edition. Execute the following steps to install Eucalyptus: 3.1 Install Ubuntu 9.10 Server edition and Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud • download the Ubuntu 9.10 Server edition and install it • during the Ubuntu installation procedure, select \installing UEC" (Ubuntu Enter- prise Cloud) to install Eucalyptus • after successful installation, update the software and restart your computer: $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get upgrade 3.2 Step 1 - Prerequisites • set up mailhost • ensure eucalyptus-cloud and eucalyptus-cc are installed and updated 3.3 Step 2 - System Installation and Configuration • install the eucalyptus node controller: $ sudo apt-get install eucalyptus-nc • set up a bridge as the node's primary interface: { edit /etc/network/interfaces to look as follows: $ sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop $ sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces 2 3 Installation procedure auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto br0 iface br0 inet dhcp bridge_ports eth0 bridge_fd 9 bridge_hello 2 bridge_maxage 12 bridge_stp off { Restart the network: $ sudo /etc/init.d/networking start Now configure Eucalyptus: • Edit /etc/sysctl.conf according to the UEC tutorial [2] $ sudo vi /etc/sysctl.conf 3.4 Step 3 - Registering UEC Components • register a cluster and register your node with the cluster $ sudo euca_conf -addcluster <clustername> localhost $ sudo euca_conf -addnode <node_hostname> 3.5 Step 4 - Initial Login • Initial login: cannot be done remotely, has to be done locally: establish an SSH tunnel into cloud controller and access the cloud controller using a web browser $ ssh <username>@<cloud-controller> -L localport:localhost:8443 • open a web browser window and type https://<localhost>:<localport>/ • on the login page, download the X.509 certificate, to allow the command line tools to authenticate themselves against the cloud controller • set up EC2 API and AMI (see howto [1]) • now the users can access the cloud's http-page to register (necessary!) and use the EC2 tools 3 References References [1] Amazon.
