This configuration can be used to do basic end-to-end development of XOS.
NOTE: If your goal is to create a development environment for CORD, this configuration is not what you want. Look at the cord-pod configuration instead!
The configuration can be either run on CloudLab (controlling an OpenStack backend set up by a CloudLab profile) or used with a basic DevStack configuration.
To get started on CloudLab:
ctl:~$ git clone https://github.com/open-cloud/xos.git ctl:~$ cd xos/xos/configurations/devel/ ctl:~/xos/xos/configurations/devel$ make cloudlab
On a server with a fresh Ubuntu 14.04 install, common/devstack/setup-devstack.sh
can be used to bootstrap a single-node DevStack environment that can be used for basic XOS development. The script installs DevStack and checks out the XOS repository. Run the script and then invoke the XOS configuration for DevStack as follows:
~$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-cloud/xos/master/xos/configurations/common/devstack/setup-devstack.sh ~$ bash ./setup-devstack.sh ~$ cd ../xos/xos/configurations/devel/ ~/xos/xos/configurations/devel$ make devstack
This setup has been run successfully in a VirtualBox VM with 2 CPUs and 4096 GB RAM. However it is recommended to use a dedicated server with more resources.
XOS will be set up with a single Deployment and Site. It should be in a state where you can create slices and associate instances with them.
Note that there are some issues with the networking setup in this configuration: VMs do not have a working DNS configuration in /etc/resolv.conf
. If you fix this manually then everything should work.
