4) Configuration of the openQRM-server
First enable and start the following plugins :
dhcpd, tftpd, lvm-storage, dns, image-shelf, vmware-server2 and cloud
Please make sure to keep the sequence for enabling and starting the plugins.
After enabling and starting the dhcpd-plugin :
After enabling and starting of all required plugins for this howto :
Now add a new appliance, select the openQRM-server system as the resource (id 0),
give it a name and choose "VMware-Server 2 Host" as resource-type.
Then go to the VMware-server2 plugin, select the VMware-server2 Host appliance
and click on "refresh". You will see the yet empty list of vms on the VMware-server 2 (the openQRM-server system itself).
Now create a first new vm as template for the Cloud.
According to the configuration of the existing vms the Cloud Plugin will display the "select-able" parameter such as memory, cpu, disk etc.
You should bring up at least on vm which will act as "template" for the Cloud. Of course you can configure the Cloud to automatic create new vms according to the request via a simple select-box in the Cloud-Configuration (more about that later).
In the resource-overview please update the new created idle resource as "VMware Server2 vm" ! This is for later to let the Cloud select the correct resources according the request.
Via the VMware Server2 manager you can also directly access the web-based VMware Infra-Structure UI.
Here a screenshot of the full environment with one resources started up.
We are continuing the configuration of the openQRM-server on the next page with setting up a lvm-nfs storage server.
