Introduction

EGI cloud supports 3 middlewares. It means you can base your cloud site installation on one of the following cloud software:

  • OpenNebula
  • OpenStack
  • Synnefo

If you want to install an EGI Cloud Site please have a look at our EGI Cloud Site Installation Manuals below.

Note: EGI Cloud Site Installation Manual is a step-by-step instruction for Cloud Site Admin. The manual is not meant to be a comprehensive on topics related to the installation, it is a collection of steps taken by someone to install an EGI cloud site starting from a scratch. Commands executed should be made available for someone to copy&paste and easily follow up. At some initial stage the manual may not cover all cases, but it is meant to be extended by other site admins while following up the manual. It is a living document.

The manuals

Current issues:

  • Documentation for cloud components is written with assumption that the admin knows where (machine, neighbour components) this components should be installed. It is missing the general cloud site deployment context
  • Documentation should address the prerequsities part. 
  • Documentation should address the constraints and limitations part i.e. supported operating systems, software versions.
  • Documentation should provide a contact person (per component) which can be contacted in case of questions/problems.  
  • Documentation should provide commands for checking validity of installation.


Prerequisities & Limitations

Whatever cloud stack you choose you need to prepare some things at the begining:

  1. Hardware (minimal hw requirements for small cloud site e.g up to 100 VMs):
    1. number of physical machines, performance/capacity requirements: RAM size
    2. disk space - how big, where must be connected, performance of network links (images are heavy!)
  2. DNS names, X.509 certificates
  3. Register in fedcloud VO
  4. Registration in AppDB to have access to private EGI VM image repository
  5. What operating systems are supported

Cloud management frameworks

OpenStack

EGI Cloud site can be based on OpenStack software with some EGI extensions. See deployment schema (Note: high level description on what modules are to be put on which machines.)

OpenStack installation

Integration with FedCloud requires a working OpenStack installation. Follow the general documentation at http://docs.openstack.org/, there are packages ready to use for most distributions (check for example RDO for RedHat based distributions).

OpenStack integration with FedCloud is known to work with the following versions of OpenStack:

  • Havana (EOL by OpenStack, should not be used in production)
  • Icehouse
  • Juno

Suggested list of services to provide FedCloud integration:

  • Keystone service must be available in any case.
  • If providing OCCI access (VM management):
  • If providing CDMI access (Object storage):
    • Swift

OpenStack integration

Integration Prerequirements

  • Working OpenStack installation.
  • Valid IGTF-trusted host certificates for Keystone. You may also use host certificates for OCCI if serving nova-api via https.
  • Recommended policy for nova to avoid users accessing other users resources:
[root@egi-cloud]# sed -i 's|"admin_or_owner":  "is_admin:True or project_id:%(project_id)s",|"admin_or_owner":  "is_admin:True or project_id:%(project_id)s",\n    "admin_or_user":  "is_admin:True or user_id:%(user_id)s",|g' /etc/nova/policy.json
[root@egi-cloud]# sed -i 's|"default": "rule:admin_or_owner",|"default": "rule:admin_or_user",|g' /etc/nova/policy.json
[root@egi-cloud]# sed -i 's|"compute:get_all": "",|"compute:get": "rule:admin_or_owner",\n    "compute:get_all": "",|g' /etc/nova/policy.json

EGI User Management/AAI

Every FedCloud site must support authentication of users with X.509 certificates with VOMS extensions. The Keystone-VOMS extension enables this kind of authentication on Keystone.

  • Installation: documentation on the installation is available at Keystone-voms documentation. Make sure to use the correct documentation for your OpenStack version.
  • Take into account that using keystone-voms plugin will enforce the use of https for your Keystone service, you will need to update your URLs at the Keystone catalog and in the configuration of your services:
    • You will probably need to include your CA to your system's CA bundle to avoid certificate validation issues: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt from the ca-certificates package on Debian/Ubuntu systems or /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt from the ca-certificates on RH and derived systems. Check the packages documentation to add a new CA to those bundles.
    • replace http with https in auth_[protocol|uri|url] and auth_[host|uri|url] in the nova, cinder, glance and neutron config files (/etc/nova/nova.conf, /etc/nova/api-paste.ini, /etc/neutron/neutron.conf, /etc/neutron/api-paste.ini, /etc/neutron/metadata_agent.ini, /etc/cinder/cinder.conf, /etc/cinder/api-paste.ini, /etc/glance/glance-api.conf, /etc/glance/glance-registry.conf, /etc/glance/glance-cache.conf) and any other service that needs to check keystone tokens.
    • You can update the URLs of the services directly in the database:
mysql> use keystone;
mysql> update endpoint set url="https://<keystone-host>:5000/v2.0" where url="http://<keystone-host>:5000/v2.0";
mysql> update endpoint set url="https://<keystone-host>:35357/v2.0" where url="http://<keystone-host>:35357/v2.0";


  • VOMS-Keystone configuration: most sites should enable the autocreate_users option in the [voms] section of Keystone-VOMS configuration. This will enable that new users are automatically created in your local keystone the first time they login into your site.

EGI Virtual Machine Management Interface -- OCCI

OCCI is the EGI-approved access method for computing resources that VM management cloud services must expose. OCCI-OS is the recommended software to provide this capability.

OCCI-OS can be installed from the github repo (recommended) or by using pip (packages may not be up-to-date!). The module must be installed on the machines hosting your nova-api. Installation instructions are available in the README.md file of the repo. Before installing OCCI-OS, you should manually install pyssf (pip install pyssf). If installing from the github repo, be sure to select the appropriate branch for your OpenStack installation, e.g. for an OpenStack Icehouse installation: 

$ pip install pyssf

$ git clone https://github.com/EGI-FCTF/occi-os.git -b stable/icehouse
Cloning into 'occi-os'...

$ cd occi-os
$ python setup.py install
running install
running bdist_egg
running egg_info
creating openstackocci_icehouse.egg-info
...
Finished processing dependencies for openstackocci-icehouse==1.0

Configuration is also detailed in the OCCI-OS readme file.

EGI Accounting

Every cloud site must publish utilization data to the EGI accounting database. You will need to install cASO, a pluggable extractor of Cloud Accounting Usage Records from OpenStack.

In order to send the records to the accounting database, you will also need to configure SSM. Follow the publishing records documentation at the accounting scenario

EGI Information System

Sites must publish information to EGI information system which is based on BDII. There is a common bdii provider for all cloud management frameworks. Information on installation and configuration is available in the cloud-bdii-provider README.md and in the Fedclouds BDII instructions, there is a specific section with OpenStack details.

EGI Image Management

Sites in FedCloud offering VM management capability must give access to VO-endorsed VM images. This functionality is provided with vmcatcher (that is able to subscribe to the image lists available in AppDB) and a set of tools that are able to push the subscribed images into the glance catalog. In order to subscribe to VO-wide image lists, you need to have a valid access token to the AppDB. Check how to access to VO-wide image lists and how to subscribe to a private image list documentation for more information.

Please refer to vmcatcher documentation for installation.

Vmcatcher may be branched to Openstack Glance catalog using python-glancepush tool and Openstack Handler for Vmcatcher event handler. To install and configure glancepush and the handler, you can refer to the following instructions:

  • Install the latest release of glancepush via the AppDB repository. For debian based systems, just download the tarball, extract it, and execute python setup.py install
[stack@ubuntu]$ wget http://repository.egi.eu/community/software/python.glancepush/0.0.X/releases/generic/0.0.6/python-glancepush-0.0.6.tar.gz
[stack@ubuntu]$ tar -zxvf python-glancepush-0.0.6.tar.gz
[stack@ubuntu]$ python setup.py install

while for RHEL6 you can run: 

[stack@rhel]$ yum localinstall http://repository.egi.eu/community/software/python.glancepush/0.0.X/releases/sl/6/x86_64/RPMS/python-glancepush-0.0.6-1.noarch.rpm
  • Then, configure glancepush directories
[stack@ubuntu]$ sudo mkdir -p /var/spool/glancepush /etc/glancepush/log /etc/glancepush/transform/ /etc/glancepush/clouds
[stack@ubuntu]$ sudo chown stack:stack -R /var/spool/glancepush /etc/glancepush /var/log/glancepush/
  • Copy the file /etc/keystone/voms.json to /etc/glancepush/voms.json. Then create a file in clouds file for every VO to which you are subscribed. For example, if you're subscribed to fedcloud, atlas and lhcb, you'll need 3 files in the /etc/glancepush/clouds directory with the credentials for this VO/tenants, for example:
[general]
# Tenant for this VO. Must match the tenant defined in voms.json file
testing_tenant=egi
# Identity service endpoint (Keystone)
endpoint_url=https://server4-eupt.unizar.es:5000/v2.0
# User Password
password=123456
# User
username=John
# Set this to true if you're NOT using self-signed certificates
is_secure=True
# SSH private key that will be used to perform policy checks (to be done)
ssh_key=Carlos_lxbifi81
# WARNING: Only define the next variable if you're going to need it. Otherwise you may encounter problems
cacert=path_to_your_cert

[stack@ubuntu]$ wget http://repository.egi.eu/community/software/openstack.handler.for.vmcatcher/0.0.X/releases/generic/0.0.7/gpvcmupdate-0.0.7.tar.gz
[stack@ubuntu]$ tar -zxvf gpvcmupdate-0.0.7.tar.gz
[stack@ubuntu]$ python setup.py install

while for RHEL6 you can run: 

[stack@rhel]$ yum localinstall http://repository.egi.eu/community/software/openstack.handler.for.vmcatcher/0.0.X/releases/generic/0.0.7/gpvcmupdate-0.0.7.tar.gz
  • Create the vmcatcher folders for OpenStack
[stack@ubuntu]$ mkdir -p /opt/stack/vmcatcher/cache /opt/stack/vmcatcher/cache/partial /opt/stack/vmcatcher/cache/expired
  • Check that vmcatcher is running properly by listing and subscribing to an image list
[stack@ubuntu]$ export VMCATCHER_RDBMS="sqlite:////opt/stack/vmcatcher/vmcatcher.db"
[stack@ubuntu]$ vmcatcher_subscribe -l
[stack@ubuntu]$ vmcatcher_subscribe -e -s https://vmcaster.appdb.egi.eu/store/vappliance/tinycorelinux/image.list
[stack@ubuntu]$ vmcatcher_subscribe -l
8ddbd4f6-fb95-4917-b105-c89b5df99dda    True    None    https://vmcaster.appdb.egi.eu/store/vappliance/tinycorelinux/image.list
  • Create a CRON wrapper for vmcatcher, named $HOME/gpvcmupdate/vmcatcher_eventHndl_OS_cron.sh, using the following code
#!/bin/bash
#Cron handler for VMCatcher image syncronization script for OpenStack

#Vmcatcher configuration variables
export VMCATCHER_RDBMS="sqlite:////opt/stack/vmcatcher/vmcatcher.db"
export VMCATCHER_CACHE_DIR_CACHE="/opt/stack/vmcatcher/cache"
export VMCATCHER_CACHE_DIR_DOWNLOAD="/opt/stack/vmcatcher/cache/partial"
export VMCATCHER_CACHE_DIR_EXPIRE="/opt/stack/vmcatcher/cache/expired"
export VMCATCHER_CACHE_EVENT="python $HOME/gpvcmupdate/gpvcmupdate.py -D"

#Update vmcatcher image lists
vmcatcher_subscribe -U

#Add all the new images to the cache
for a in `vmcatcher_image -l | awk '{if ($2==2) print $1}'`; do
 vmcatcher_image -a -u $a
done 

#Update the cache
vmcatcher_cache -v -v

#Run glancepush
/usr/bin/glancepush.py
  • Set the newly created file as executable
[stack@ubuntu]$ chmod +x $HOME/gpvcmupdate/vmcatcher_eventHndl_OS_cron.sh
  • Test that the vmcatcher handler is working correctly by running
[stack@ubuntu]$ $HOME/gpvcmupdate/vmcatcher_eventHndl_OS_cron.sh
INFO:main:Defaulting actions as 'expire', and 'download'.

  • Add the following line to the stack user crontab:
50 */6 * * * $HOME/gpvcmupdate/vmcatcher_eventHndl_OS_cron.sh >> /var/log/glancepush/vmcatcher.log 2>&1

NOTES:

  • It is recommended to execute glancepush and vmcatcher_cache as stack or other non-root user.
  • VMcatcher expired images are removed from OS.

Registration of services in GOCDB

Site cloud services must be registered in EGI Configuration Management Database (GOCDB). If you are creating a new site for your cloud services, check the PROC09 Resource Centre Registration and Certification procedure. Services can also coexist within an existing (grid) site.

If offering OCCI interface, sites should register the following services:

  • eu.egi.cloud.vm-management.occi for the OCCI endpoint offered by the site. Please note the special endpoint URL syntax described at GOCDB usage in FedCloud
  • eu.egi.cloud.accounting (host should be your OCCI machine)
  • eu.egi.cloud.vm-metadata.vmcatcher (also host is your OCCI machine)
  • Site should also declare the following properties using the Site Extension Properties feature:
    1. Max number of virtual cores for VM with parameter name: cloud_max_cores4VM
    2. Max amount of RAM for VM with parameter name: cloud_max_RAM4VM using the format: value+unit, e.g. "16GB".
    3. Max amount of storage that could be mounted in a VM with parameter name: cloud_max_storage4VM using the format: value+unit, e.g. "16GB".

If offering CDMI interface, site should register:

Once the site services are registered in GOCDB and set as monitored they will be checked by the Cloud SAM instance.

Installation Validation

You can check your installation following these steps:

  1. Check in Cloudmon that your services are listed and are passing the tests. If all the tests are OK, your installation is already in good shape.
  2. Check that you are publishing cloud information in your site BDII:
    ldapsearch -x -h <site bdii host> -p 2170 -b Glue2GroupID=cloud,Glue2DomainID=<your site name>,o=glue
  3. Check that all the images listed in the AppDB page for fedlcoud.egi.eu VO  are listed in your BDII. This sample query will return all the VM ids registered in your BDII:
    ldapsearch -x -h <site bdii host> -p 2170 -b Glue2GroupID=cloud,Glue2DomainID=<your site name>,o=glue objectClass=GLUE2ApplicationEnvironment GLUE2ApplicationEnvironmentRepository
  4. Try to start one of those images in your cloud (you can do it with nova or OCCI) commands, the result should be the same.
  5. Execute the site certification manual tests against your endpoints.
  6. Check in the accounting portal that your site is listed and the values reported look consistent with the usage of your site.

OpenNebula

OpenNebula FedCloud Site Architecture

Components

EGI Cloud Site based on OpenNebula is an ordinary OpenNebula installation with some EGI-specific integration components. There are no additional requirements placed on internal site architecture.

OpenNebula-based site with FedCloud integration components
OpenNebulaSite.png

The following components must be installed alongside OpenNebula:

  • vmcatcher, which checks the EGI App DB for new or updated images that need to be supported on the site. It downloads images and registers them with OpenNebula, so that they can be used in resource instantiation. Vmcatcher configuration is explained bellow.
  • rOCCI-server, which provides a standard OCCI interface. It translates between OpenNebula API and OCCI. It must be configured to use its opennebula backend, and to use voms for authentication. Follow the rOCCI-server Admin Guide for installation, and check bellow for FedCloud-specific configuration.
  • local perun scripts, which allow perun to set up, block and remove user accounts from OpenNebula, thus managing the full life cycle of a user account. Local script configuration is explained bellow.
  • oneacct scripts, which collect accounting data from OpenNebula and publish those into EGI's APEL instance. Oneacct configuration is explained at the FedCloud Accounting page.
  • BDII, which registers the site's configuration and description through the EGI Information System to facilitate service discovery. Configuration is explained bellow.

Note: CDMI storage endpoints are currently not supported for OpenNebula-based sites.

Note 2: OpenNebula Sunstone is not required!

Open Ports

The following ports must be open to allow access to an OpenNebula-based FedCloud sites:

Open Ports for OpenNebula and other components in FedCloud!
Port Application Host Note
22/TCP SSH OpenNebula Server Node onetools, Perun scripts
2170/TCP BDII/LDAP BDDI Node (typically the OpenNebula Server Node) EGI Service Discovery
11443/TCP OCCI/HTTPs rOCCI-server node (typically the OpenNebula Server Node but can be located elsewhere) OCCI cloud resource management

By nature, open ports cannot be specified for OpenNebula hosts, which are used to run virtual machines. Their requirements for open ports cannot be known beforehand.

Service Accounts

This is an overview of service accounts used in an OpenNebula-based FedCloud site. The names are default and can be changed if required.

Service Accounts in OpenNebula sites in FedCloud!
Type Account name Host Use
System accounts oneadmin OpenNebula Server Default management account in OpenNebula. Also used by the Perun scripts, which access the account with SSH.
rocci rOCCI-server host (typically OpenNebula server) Apache application processes for the rOCCI-server. It is only a service account, no access required.
apel OpenNebula server Service account used to run APEL export scripts. Just a service account, no access required.
openldap OpenNebula server Service account used to run LDAP for BDII. Just a service account, no access required.
OpenNebula accounts rocci OpenNebula Server Used by the rOCCI-server to perform tasks through the OpenNebula API.

OpenNebula Installation

Follow OpenNebula Documentation and install OpenNebula with enabled X.509 authentication support.

The following OpenNebula versions are supported:

  • OpenNebula v4.4.x (legacy)
  • OpenNebula v4.6.x
  • OpenNebula v4.8.x
  • OpenNebula v4.10.x
  • OpenNebula v4.12.x

OpenNebula Integration

Integration Prerequisites

  • Working OpenNebula installation with X.509 support enabled. Resource Providers are encouraged to follow the step-by-step configuration guide provided by OpenNebula developers. There is no need to change authentication driver for the oneadmin user or create any user accounts manually at this time.
  • Valid IGTF-trusted host certificates for selected hosts.

EGI Virtual Machine Management Interface -- OCCI

See rOCCI-server Installation Guide.

  • Configure OpenNebula's x509 auth, modify /etc/one/auth/x509_auth.conf file:
# Path to the trusted CA directory. It should contain the trusted CA's for
# the server, each CA certificate shoud be name CA_hash.0
:ca_dir: "/etc/grid-security/certificates"

  • Support for EGI VOs: | VOMS configuration
  • Create empty groups fedcloud.egi.eu, ops and dteam in OpenNebula.
Perun integration

The current rOCCI-server implementation doesn’t handle user management and identity propagation hence integration with a third-party service is necessary. The Perun VO management server developed and maintained by CESNET is used to provide user management capabilities for OpenNebula Resource Providers. It uses locally installed scripts (fully under the control of the Resource Provider in question) to propagate changes in the user pool to all registered Resource Providers. They are required to install and configure (if need be) these scripts and report back to EGI Cloud Federation for registration in Perun. Installation and configuration details are available online in the EGI-FCTF/fctf-perun github repository.

Remember that Perun requires SSH access to your machine, so that it can invoke the scripts and push user account changes to your site!

Manual account management

If you want to use X.509/VOMS authentication for your users, you need to create users in OpenNebula with the X.509 driver. For a user named 'johnsmith' from the fedcloud.egi.eu VO the command may look like this 

$ oneuser create johnsmith "/DC=es/DC=irisgrid/O=cesga/CN=johnsmith/VO=fedcloud.egi.eu/Role=NULL/Capability=NULL" --driver x509
  • And its properties:
$ oneuser update <id_x509_user>
X509_DN="/DC=es/DC=irisgrid/O=cesga/CN=johnsmith"

EGI Accounting

See OpenNebula Accounting Scripts.

EGI Information System

Sites must publish information to EGI information system which is based on BDII. There is a common bdii provider for all cloud management frameworks. Information on installation and configuration is available in the cloud-bdii-provider README.md and in the Fedclouds BDII instructions, there is a specific section with OpenNebula details.

EGI Image Management

Sites in FedCloud offering VM management capability must give access to VO-endorsed VM images. This functionality is provided with vmcatcher (that is able to subscribe to the image lists available in AppDB) and a set of tools that are able to push the subscribed images into the glance catalog. In order to subscribe to VO-wide image lists, you need to have a valid access token to the AppDB. Check how to access to VO-wide image lists and how to subscribe to a private image list documentation for more information.

Please refer to vmcatcher documentation for installation.

vmcatcher_eventHndlExpl_ON is a VMcatcher event handler for OpenNebula to store or disable images based on VMcatcher response. The followign guide will show how to install and configure vmCatcher handler as oneadmin user, directly from github. The configuration will automatically syncronize OpenNebula Image datastore with the registered vmcatcher images.

  • Install pre-requisites for VMCatcher handler
[oneadmin@one-sandbox] sudo yum install -y qemu-img
  • Install VMcatcher handler from github
[oneadmin@one-sandbox]$ mkdir $HOME/vmcatcher_eventHndlExpl_ON
[oneadmin@one-sandbox]$ cd $HOME/vmcatcher_eventHndlExpl_ON
[oneadmin@one-sandbox]$ wget http://github.com/grid-admin/vmcatcher_eventHndlExpl_ON/archive/v0.0.8.zip -O vmcatcher_eventHndlExpl_ON.zip
[oneadmin@one-sandbox]$ unzip vmcatcher_eventHndlExpl_ON.zip
[oneadmin@one-sandbox]$ mv vmcatcher_eventHndlExpl_ON*/* ./
[oneadmin@one-sandbox]$ rmdir vmcatcher_eventHndlExpl_ON-*
  • Create the vmcatcher folders for ON (do not use /var/lib/one/ or other OpenNebula default directories for the vmcatcher cache, since you cannot import images into OpenNebula from these directories. Also, since this directory will host a copy of all the images downloaded via vmcatcher, it is suggested to place the directory into a separate disk)
[oneadmin@one-sandbox]$ sudo mkdir -p /opt/vmcatcher-ON/cache /opt/vmcatcher-ON/cache/partial /opt/vmcatcher-ON/cache/expired /opt/vmcatcher-ON/cache/templates
[oneadmin@one-sandbox]$ sudo chown oneadmin:oneadmin -R /opt/vmcatcher-ON
  • Check that vmcatcher is running properly by listing and subscribing to an image list
[oneadmin@one-sandbox]$ export VMCATCHER_RDBMS="sqlite:////opt/vmcatcher-ON/vmcatcher.db"
[oneadmin@one-sandbox]$ vmcatcher_subscribe -l
[oneadmin@one-sandbox]$ vmcatcher_subscribe -e -s https://vmcaster.appdb.egi.eu/store/vappliance/tinycorelinux/image.list
[oneadmin@one-sandbox]$ vmcatcher_subscribe -l
8ddbd4f6-fb95-4917-b105-c89b5df99dda    True    None    https://vmcaster.appdb.egi.eu/store/vappliance/tinycorelinux/image.list
  • Create a CRON wrapper for vmcatcher, named /var/lib/one/vmcatcher_eventHndlExpl_ON/vmcatcher_eventHndl_ON_cron.sh, using the following code
#!/bin/bash
#Cron handler for VMCatcher image syncronization script for OpenNebula

#Vmcatcher configuration variables
export VMCATCHER_RDBMS="sqlite:////opt/vmcatcher-ON/vmcatcher.db"
export VMCATCHER_CACHE_DIR_CACHE="/opt/vmcatcher-ON/cache"
export VMCATCHER_CACHE_DIR_DOWNLOAD="/opt/vmcatcher-ON/cache/partial"
export VMCATCHER_CACHE_DIR_EXPIRE="/opt/vmcatcher-ON/cache/expired"
export VMCATCHER_CACHE_EVENT="python $HOME/vmcatcher_eventHndlExpl_ON/vmcatcher_eventHndl_ON"

#Update vmcatcher image lists
vmcatcher_subscribe -U

#Add all the new images to the cache
for a in `vmcatcher_image -l | awk '{if ($2==2) print $1}'`; do
 vmcatcher_image -a -u $a
done

#Update the cache
vmcatcher_cache -v -v
  • Test that the vmcatcher handler is working correctly by running
[oneadmin@one-sandbox]$ chmod +x $HOME/vmcatcher_eventHndlExpl_ON/vmcatcher_eventHndl_ON_cron.sh
[oneadmin@one-sandbox]$ $HOME/vmcatcher_eventHndlExpl_ON/vmcatcher_eventHndl_ON_cron.sh

  • Add the following line to the oneadmin user crontab:
50 */6 * * * $HOME/vmcatcher_eventHndlExpl_ON/vmcatcher_eventHndl_ON_cron.sh >> /var/log/vmcatcher.log 2>&1

NOTES:

  • vmcatcher_cache must be executed as oneadmin user.
  • Environment variables can be used to set default values but the command line options will override any set environment options. Set these env variables for oneadmin user: VMCATCHER_RDBMS, VMCATCHER_CACHE_DIR_CACHE, VMCATCHER_CACHE_DIR_DOWNLOAD, VMCATCHER_CACHE_DIR_EXPIRE and VMCATCHER_CACHE_EVENT.
  • vmcatcher_eventHndlExpl_ON generates ON image templates. These templates are available from $VMCATCHER_CACHE_DIR_CACHE/templates (templates nomenclature $VMCATCHER_EVENT_DC_IDENTIFIER.one)
  • The new ON images include VMCATCHER_EVENT_DC_IDENTIFIER = <VMCATCHER_UUID> tag. This tag is used to identify Fedcloud VM images.
  • VMcatcher expired images are set as disabled by ON. It is up to the RP to remove disabled images or assign the new ones to a specific ON group or user.

Registration of services in GOCDB

Site cloud services must be registered in EGI Configuration Management Database (GOCDB). If you are creating a new site for your cloud services, check the PROC09 Resource Centre Registration and Certification procedure. Services can also coexist within an existing (grid) site.

If offering OCCI interface, sites should register the following services:

  • eu.egi.cloud.vm-management.occi for the OCCI endpoint offered by the site. Please note the special endpoint URL syntax described at GOCDB usage in FedCloud
  • eu.egi.cloud.accounting (host should be your OCCI machine)
  • eu.egi.cloud.vm-metadata.vmcatcher (also host is your OCCI machine)
  • Site should also declare the following properties using the Site Extension Properties feature:
    1. Max number of virtual cores for VM with parameter name: cloud_max_cores4VM
    2. Max amount of RAM for VM with parameter name: cloud_max_RAM4VM using the format: value+unit, e.g. "16GB".
    3. Max amount of storage that could be mounted in a VM with parameter name: cloud_max_storage4VM using the format: value+unit, e.g. "16GB".

Once the site services are registered in GOCDB and set as monitored they will be checked by the Cloud SAM instance.

Installation Validation

You can check your installation following these steps:

  • Check in Cloudmon that your services are listed and are passing the tests. If all the tests are OK, your installation is already in good shape.
  • Check that you are publishing cloud information in your site BDII:
    ldapsearch -x -h <site bdii host> -p 2170 -b Glue2GroupID=cloud,Glue2DomainID=<your site name>,o=glue
  • Check that all the images listed in the AppDB page for fedlcoud.egi.eu VO  are listed in your BDII. This sample query will return all the template IDs registered in your BDII:
    ldapsearch -x -h <site bdii host> -p 2170 -b Glue2GroupID=cloud,Glue2DomainID=<your site name>,o=glue objectClass=GLUE2ApplicationEnvironment GLUE2ApplicationEnvironmentRepository
  • Try to start one of those images in your cloud. You can do it with `onetemplate instantiate` or OCCI commands, the result should be the same.
  • Execute the site certification manual tests against your endpoints.
  • Check in the accounting portal that your site is listed and the values reported look consistent with the usage of your site.
