= Overview =
TBDThe [http: PJU/DVO/www.stoney-cloud.org/ 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 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID_6#RAID_6 RAID6]-Set with battery backup.** One physical Ethernet Interfaces. == Limitations ==During the installation of the [http://www.gentoo.org/ 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.

== Booting ==Choose '''1) FOSS-Cloud Installer: default boot options''' [[Image:stoney_cloud_demo-system_01.png||600px]] == Keymap Selection == Set the desired keymap. The following example works for the German speaking part of Switzerland: '''46 (de_CH)''' [[Image:stoney_cloud_demo-system_02.png||600px]] == Start the Installation ==Start the actual installation by typing: '''yes''' [[Image:stoney_cloud_demo-system_03.png||600px]] == Choose the Single-Node Installation ==Choose the Single-Node Installation by typing: '''2''' [[Image:stoney_cloud_demo-system_04.png||600px]] == Device Selection ==You'll need to select a SCIS, SATA, PATA or virtual disk. The following installation in done in a virtualized environment, therefore we choose the virtual disk: '''vda''' [[Image:stoney_cloud_demo-system_05.png||600px]] If you type yes, you'll be deleting all the existing data on the chosen disk: '''yes''' [[Image:stoney_cloud_demo-system_06.png||600px]] == Proceeding ... ==The installation proceeds with the partitioning of the disk and the installation of the operating system: You can ignore the message "Error: /dev/vda: unrecognised disk label" as this is normal for a first installation in a virtual disk. [[Image:stoney_cloud_demo-system_07.png||600px]] [[Image:stoney_cloud_demo-system_08.png||600px]] == Network ==Now we configure the network. In this example, we only have one network interface: '''eth0''' [[Image:stoney_cloud_demo-system_10.png||600px]] We choose the automatic DCHP configuration: '''yes''' [[Image:stoney_cloud_demo-system_11.png||600px]] == Reboot ==Now we can reboot the system: [[Image:stoney_cloud_demo-system_12.png||600px]] = Skipping Checks ==
To skip checks, type '''no''' when asked:
