The Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud (UEC): Eucalyptus and Ubuntu

The Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud (UEC) is Ubuntu's Eucalyptus-powered cloud
platform. Ubuntu has gone to great lengths to integrate Eucalyptus into their
distributions.

While providing Eucalyptus' core functionality, UEC differs from Eucalyptus
in three ways: UEC adds an Image Store that provides users with a repository
of pre-created images kept by Ubuntu; the registration process is based on
avahi for discovering and integrating components with UEC; and the color
scheme of the UEC's Web UI is designed to conform with Ubuntu's current
theme.

We welcome UEC questions here on this forum, but some processes are UEC
specific and users of this forum may not be familiar with them. Please see
the following links to additional UEC documentation and resources if these

Eucalyptus Lenny guide FYI

Just starting to play around with Eucalyptus, I've hit a few issues over the days - I've raised tickets when appropriate.

Anyhow, I've written up all my notes at http://smop.co.uk/mediawiki/index.php/Eucalyptus. I think there are some useful bits here for people - some fixes for when I'd missed a step or the instructions were unclear together with the troubleshooting and diagnostic steps I took.

HTH, I'm not a Java developer but I try and give back where I can!

How to change the memory size of virtual node

Hi All
I am working on config the resouce of vritual node. All the installation is completed.
Actually, I don't know how to change the resouce of the virtual node.
for example, I want one virtual node runs on 2 G memory virtual machine and the other node runs on 4 G memory virtual machine. Assuming I have enough resources:)

Shall I config the xen or some other config file?

Thanks a lot
Best Regards

Newbie question: Manually assigning IP to VM in network w/o DHCP server possible?

Hi,

sorry for this absolute newbie question. I am just experimenting with a simple UEC setup on Ubuntu 10.04. I am in a company network where we don't have a DHCP server and we are not allowed to run one. All IP addresses are given out manually by the administrator. I set up one box as a Node Controller and one box with all the rest, both boxes have fixed IP addresses, see each other and the node controller successfully connects to the cluster. Upon installing the boxes I disabled all DHCP functionality and relied on private addressing. I downloaded an image and registered it in the CC. Starting an instance also worked fine, but it got a private address which does not fit in our company network.

Is it possible to use a particular user-given IP address as the private address when powering up an instance?
