DEPLOYMENT notes   

=================

- Service dependencies

    * ganeti-0mqd

      The Ganeti notification daemon must run on the Ganeti master node.

      Edit all relevant settings in settings.py, GANETI_0MQD_* variables.

      Then start the server on the Ganeti master.

      # ./ganeti/ganeti-0mqd.py

      FIXME: The server must be started from the project root directory.

      TBD: how to handle master migration.

    * db_controller

      db_controller receives notifications from 0mq and updates the DB.

      For now, db_controller must be run by hand:

      $ ./db/db_controller.py

      FIXME. Complete this part.

    * vncauthproxy

      To support OOB console access to the VMs over VNC, the vncauthproxy

      daemon must be running on every Django node.

      Download and install vncauthproxy from its own repository,

      at https://code.grnet.gr/git/vncauthproxy (known good commit: 48b1400e).

      Edit default settings on top of vncauthproxy.py.

      Set CTRL_SOCKET in util/vapclient.py to point to its control socket.

      FIXME: The CTRL_SOCKET setting will be moved to settings.py as

      VNCAUTHPROXY_CTRL_SOCKET.

    *rabbitmq

      RabbitMQ is used as a generic message broker for the system. It should

      be installed on two seperate physical machines (at the moment,

      performance is not an issue) in a high availability configuration as

      described here:

        http://www.rabbitmq.com/pacemaker.html

      After installation, create a user and set its permissions

        rabbitmqctl add_user okeanos 0k3@n0s

        rabbitmqctl set_permissions -p / okeanos  "^okeanos-.*" ".*" ".*"

      (more TBD)

- OS Specific instructions

    * Debian Squeeze

      TBD.
