Overview

Launches an OpenVIM controller.

Preparation

When running with an LXD cloud, the openvim-compute nodes needs to have some devices added and be run with extra privileges. A quick-and-dirty way of accomplishing this is to edit the juju-default LXD profile:

lxc profile edit juju-default

change it to:

name: juju-default
config:
  boot.autostart: "true"
  security.nesting: "true"
  security.privileged: "true"
description: ""
devices:
  kvm:
    path: /dev/kvm
    type: unix-char
  tun:
    path: /dev/net/tun
    type: unix-char

Usage

juju deploy mysql
juju deploy openvim
juju deploy openvim-compute
juju relate mysql openvim
juju relate openvim-compute openvim

Creating and starting a VM

The openvim charm will create a default tenant, image, flavor, and networks, but you'll want to add your own VM when you're ready to deploy. This charm generates a basic VM yaml definition for you if you'd like to launch one quickly. First, ssh into your openvim box:

juju ssh openvim-contrller/0 # may not be zero, find instance id with `juju status`.

Then create your VM and get its uuid:

/home/ubuntu/openmano/openvim/openvim vm-create /tmp/server.yaml

And finally start it:

/home/ubuntu/openmano/openvim/openvim vm-start <vm-uuid>
