Tag: OpenStack

Today (and tomorrow) are the RDO Mitaka Test Days in Brno, Czech Republic and I spent a few hours this morning catching up on the tripleo quickstart live demonstration video and the rest of the day bashing my head against the packstack sanity checks for RHEL 7.2, CentOS 7.1, and Fedora 22.

And I took awesome notes. To share with you.

Cause I love.

There are quite a few prerequisites assumed which I’d like to clarify right now because I had to figure this out myself.

My ThinkPad W541 laptop environment:

I followed the instructions on https://www.rdoproject.org/testday/mitaka/milestone3/ to set up three virtual environments for testing purposes. This assumes you know how to set up a virtual system within Virtual Machine Manager which is fairly lacking, but the screenshots are helpful and the interface is fairly intuitive.

Note to self: write post about setting up virtual machines.

My goal for the day was to run a sanity check against packstack on CentOS, RHEL, and Fedora.
