Private cloud setup using eucalyptus and xen Posted on November 30, 2010 by akash Contents Cloud setup private cloud Technical background Front end setup Back end setup Cloud integration ec2 or euca2ools setup Create guest machine Creating EMIs Run instance Troubleshoot EC2 command EUCALYPTUS Commands Cloud setup private cloud My interest in cloud computing started when I worked on a project, to deploy app lication on Amazon cloud and setup the clusters for MySql, Apache and other tech nologies to load balance. While working on Amazon cloud I got some insights of t he cloud computing and various underlying technologies. Here I am going to illustrate all the steps that I have followed to setup cloud. I will be describing the cloud packages, how to setup front end and back end se tup, cloud implementation, ec2 or euca2ools setup, creating xen-supported guest machine, creating EMIs for eucalyptus, run/stop instances and some xen/eucalypt us/ec2 useful command. Technical background When I start on cloud setup, I was sure I will go for XEN rather than KVM. Then came the Ubuntu jaunty as this version was built for the virtualization and desi gned with built-in support. I used eucalyptus, an opensource tool that provide A mazon like features and is EC2 tools compliance. So I starts researching the con tents on all these technologies. The more I study, the more I got confident to u se these technologies for cloud setup. Though, Ubuntu prefers KVM for the visualization support and has added to the de fault packages. But limitation of KVM to run only virtualization extensions (Int el VT or AMD-V) processors only(see http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Main_Page), ma kes my decision to use XEN for virtualization. Xen, is the underlaying technology used by eucalyptus. Xen hypervisor allows sev eral guest operating systems to be executed on the same computer hardware concur rently. Xen partitions a single physical machine into multiple virtual machines, to provide server consolidation and utility computing. Existing applications an d binaries run unmodified. The hypervisor controls the MMU, CPU scheduling, and interrupt controller, presenting a virtual machine to guests.

The first guest operating system, called in Xen terminology domain 0? (dom0), is booted automatically when the hypervisor boots and given special management priv ileges and direct access to all physical hardware by default. The system adminis trator can log into dom0 in order to manage any further guest operating systems, called domain U (domU) in Xen terminology. Eucalyptus has 3 major packages. Cluster Controller: provides support for the virtual network overlay Cloud Controller: includes the front-end services and the Walrus storage system . Node Controller: that interacts with XEN to manage individual VMs. The basic architecture how client, cloud controller, cluster controller and node controllers communicate with each other in a eucalyptus setup. -> euca lyptus-nc | | Client > eucalyptus-cloud -> eucalyptus-cc > eucalyptus-nc | | -> euca lyptus-nc Packages provided by Ubuntu are: eucalyptus-cloud, eucalyptus-cc and eucalyptusnc. In my private cloud setup, the front end runs both eucalyptus-cloud and eucalypt us-cc and 3 machines act as node controller and run eucalyptus-nc. Front end setup I have setup a Dell machine as front end. Front end runs both eucalyptus-clo ud and eucalyptus-cc. So I install both packages on this machine. Follow the steps for installing the front end:

Step 1: Prepare a raw ubuntu OS system. Install Ubuntu 9.04 on a machine. Select ssh server to be installed on the m achine by default, so We can connect to machine remotely. Step 2: Install postfix. Postfix is a mail server. Eucalyptus send mails to users that are added by admin on eucalyptus web interface. So we install postfix that eucalyptus will use as mail server. Steps to install postfix and to setup configurations and testing success ful Postfix installation command# apt-get install postfix Set configurations command# sudo dpkg-reconfigure postfix Set following parameters with given values. General type of mail configuration: Internet Site NONE doesn t appear to be requested in current config System mail name: server1.example.com Root and postmaster mail recipient: <admin_user_name> (Optional )

Other destinations for mail: server1.example.com, example.com, localhost.example.com, localhost Force synchronous updates on mail queue?: No Local networks: 127.0.0.0/8 Yes doesn t appear to be requested in current config Mialbox size limit (bytes): 0 Local address extension character: + Internet protocols to use: all Test postfix installation command# EHLO localhost mail from: root@localhost rcpt to: akashsharmaa@gmail.com data subject: your sub (press enter twice) Type your message and finish with . then Enter Finish with Quit Check your mail (if received your mail is working) Step 3 Install Cloud and Cluster controller Install the packages provided by Ubuntu, all the dependencies will be in stalled automatically by package manager. command# apt-get install eucalyptus-cloud eucalyptus-cc Step 4 Install dhcp server Install the DHCP server which is used by eucalyptus for assigning the IP s to instances. DHCP server should not be in running state and set the DHCP serv er not to run when system is booted up again. command# apt-get install dhcp3-server command# /etc/init.d/dhcdbd stop command# update-rc.d -f dhcdbd remove Set the DHCP server path in the eucalyptus config file calyptus.conf VNET_DHCPDAEMON= /usr/sbin/dhcpd3?

/etc/eucalyptus/eu

Step 5 Eucalyptus configuration Set the static mode for eucalyptus so that eucalyptus uses IP s from the p ool of IP s provided in the config file and use the machine addresses provided alo ng with IPs. Configuration file for eucalyptus is /etc/eucalyptus/eucalyptus.conf open /etc/eucalyptus/eucalyptus.conf and set the following parameters VNET_INTERFACE= peth0? VNET_BRIDGE= eth0? Locate kvm and replace to xen locate VNET_MODE= SYSTEM and disable it locate VNET_MODE= STATIC and enable it Add machine and IPs for instances to be used and change the netowork set ting to current network settings VNET_MODE= STATIC VNET_SUBNET= 192.168.145.0? VNET_NETMASK= 255.255.255.0? VNET_BROADCAST= 192.168.145.255? VNET_ROUTER= 192.168.145.1? VNET_DNS= 192.168.150.42?

VNET_MACMAP= AA:DD:11:CE:FF:ED=192.168.145.73 AA:DD:11:CE:FF:EE=192.1 68.145.75 AA:DD:11:CE:FF:EF=192.168.145.77? Step 6 Other configurations Edit : /usr/share/eucalyptus/gen_libvirt_xml Locate all sda to xvda Edit : /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp (xend-http-server yes) gateway = 192.168.145.1 netmask = 255.255.255.0 broadcast = 192.168.145.255 Step 7 Rebbot the system to take effect Step 8 Cloud configuarions Once eucalyptus front end has been installed, we can use the eucalyptus web interface and setup cluster and set other parameters. Eucalyptus cloud web URL: https://<front end ip>:8443/ Under configuration tab add cluster name Set host to localhost Create kernel and ramdisk images and set in eucalyptus site. (Procedure to create images will be described later in the page) Restart the eucalyptus daemon to take effects Back end setup On the systems where we want to run instances, we will install node controll er and XEN 3.0. Since I used the XEN as virtualization package, I install the no de controller package eucalyptus-nc manually. I installed required dependencies using the package manager apt-get, but the eucalyptus-nc was installed by donwlo ading and manually installing bypassing dependencies list. Step 1 Hardware compatibility eucalyptus-nc requires libvirt-bin package. Libvirt is a C toolkit to inter act with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). More info can be found at: http://libvirt.org/ To install libvirt-bin package, certain flags should be supported by CPU. command# egrep (vmx|svm) /proc/cpuinfo [if no print], libvirt-bin cant be installed Stop the apparmor for Ubuntu System command# /etc/init.d/apparmor stop command# update-rc.d -f apparmor remove Step 2 Install XEN package I am using the XEN virtualization package instead of Ubuntu s default KVM, I install the eucalyptus-nc dependencies manually. command# apt-get install iproute iptables module-init-tools python2.5 p ython2.6 command# apt-get install xen-utils command# apt-get install ubuntu-xen-server

Step 3 Install libvirt-bin package eucalyptus-nc requires libvirt-bin package. Libvirt is a C toolkit to inter act with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). More info can be found at: http://libvirt.org/ command# apt-get asl2-2 libxen3 logrotate command# apt-get 3 libc6 libdbus-1-3 command# apt-get libpolkit2 libreadline5 command# apt-get kit install adduser bridge-utils dnsmasq-base iptables libs install netcat-openbsd libavahi-client3 libavahi-common install libgcrypt11 libgnutls26 libhal1 libpolkit-dbus2 libselinux1 install libtasn1-3 libvirt0 libxml2 zlib1g policy

To e or search http://open.eucalyptus.com forums the solution. I will try to list some of the f some help if you got similar issues. I encounter many issues and face p resolve the issues I have to googl or post my issues in forums to get issues thats I face, it might be o {prin

Eucalyptus Logs When I got any issue, my first area of interest was the logs generat ed by eucalyptus and its dependencies. Eucalyptus maintain all the logs under pr e-defined directory /var/log/eucalyptus . euca_test_nc.log On node controllers, if there is any issue with starting eucalyt us-nc command, check euca_test_nc.log file for any errors. euca_test_nc.log file contains all the errors eucalytus-nc encounter while starting. nc.log nc.log file contains all the logs generated in cluster-node comm unication. While starting a instance, initially I wasnt aware of buggy log handling of eucalyptus and it takes a lot time to understand this. While startin g instance, and keep on adding the logs for non-existing network while instance is currently in booting up. Because of this issue, I got following in the nc.log file [EUCAINFO ] doDescribeResource() invoked [EUCAINFO ] doDescribeResource() invoked [EUCAERROR ] libvirt: Domain not found (code=42)

which indicates, domain can not be started, but after some t ime this error is resolved automatically when network is started for the instanc e. So we can omit this error message in nc.log file. Cloud resources Some times when you install the eucalyptus and cluster, cloud and no des are running successfully on systems. Still you can not run instances, this m ay be issue with the node resource registration with the cluster. Or all the res ources has been consumed by the instances. You can check the resource status for cluster using ec2-describe-availability-zones verbose command. command# ec2-describe-availability-zones verbose Output of above command could be like this. AVAILABILITYZONE iCloud UP localhost AVAILABILITYZONE |- vm types free / max cpu r am disk AVAILABILITYZONE |- m1.small 0002 / 0002 1 1 28 15 AVAILABILITYZONE |- c1.medium 0002 / 0002 1 2 56 15 AVAILABILITYZONE |- m1.large 0001 / 0001 2 5 12 17 AVAILABILITYZONE |- m1.xlarge 0001 / 0001 2 10 24 20 AVAILABILITYZONE |- c1.xlarge 0000 / 0000 4 20 48 20 AVAILABILITYZONE |- 192.168.145.71 certs[cc=tru e,nc=true] @ Wed Sep 30 02:12:15 EDT 2009 From the output, we can clearly visualize the resource manag ement, free/used resources and number of instance we can run. Output also lists the nodes registered/available currently to cluster. Instance issues Some times, I got stuck with instance related issues. When I start i nstance using ec2 tools, instance will die and nc.log or any other log file doe snt provide useful info. So, best way to investigate issue and save time to run the instance using xm command provided by xen. Common steps are, - copy the image file used to create emi to any of the node. - create xen conf file, check following xen config file content kernel = /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-13-server ramdisk = /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-13-server memory = 128 root = /dev/xvda1 ro disk = [ 'file:/usr/akash/cloud/ubuntu-xen/root.img,xvda1,w', 'file:/usr/akash/cloud/ubuntu-xen/swap.img,xvda2,w' ] name = Ubuntu dhcp = dhcp vif = [''] on_poweroff = destroy on_reboot = restart on_crash = restart extra = xencons=tty console=tty1 console=hvc0' - run the instance using xm command. command# xm create xen.cfg - while xm create is starting instance, use console command to c

Reply akash January 8, 2012 at 8:43 am Once you have configured node and cluster controller, these will be comm unicated automatically whenever you reboot the systems. But when you are rebooting the cluster or cloud controller, you wont be able to access the cloud backend as well as ec2 APIs for cloud setup. Reply JOE MADHAN January 10, 2012 at 9:05 am sir, whether we will compulsorily need to access the cloud backend during re booting. If so whether there is any way. Reply akash January 11, 2012 at 9:35 am

I think you can access your instances even if cloud controller or cluste r controller is rebooting. But if you reboot any of node controller machine then all the instances running on that node machine will become unavailable.

Image bundling is implemented as service. The whole process is like follow: ec2 API create a loopback file and backup os to the loopback file Then this loopback file is encrypted, zipped and then split to multiple files File split enables better fault tolorance, imagine network failure at an y time so that file chunk will be again uploaded Then this image is saved to cloud and made available to run as instance.
