Overview
The stoney cloud builds upon various standard open source components and can be run on commodity hardware. The Demo-Node installation consists of one node with the following software-stack installed:
- The Linux kernel based virtualization technology.
- An OpenLDAP Directory Server for the storage of the stoney cloud user and service related data with the web based management VM-Manager interface and the Linux kernel based virtualization technology.
Prerequisites
The following items and conditions are required to be able to install and configure a stoney cloud environment:
- A dedicated server which fulfils the following requirements:
- 64-Bit Intel with VT-Technologie (AMD is not tested at the moment, but it should work).
- 8 Gigabyte Memory (more is better).
- 130 Gigabyte up to 2 Terabyte disks (for the first RAID-Set, the 2 Terabyte restriction applies).
- For the mass storage (where the virtual machines are stored) we recommend a second RAID-Set configured as RAID6-Set with battery backup.
- One physical Ethernet Interfaces.
Limitations
During the installation of the Gentoo Linux operating system, the first physical Ethernet Interface ist automatically configured with DHCP. This means, you need a working DHCP Server. The virtual machines running on the stoney cloud Demo-System are NATed. This means, you can not access the virtual machines from externally.
Installation
Skipping Checks
To skip checks, type no when asked:
Do you want to start the installation? yes or no?: no
Then manually restart the stoney cloud installer with the desired options. For example
/mnt/cdrom/foss-cloud-installer -c
Options:
-c: Skip CPU requirement checks -m: Skip memory requirement checks -s: Skip CPU and memory requirement checks
