This roll bundles the packages for managing VM images in ROCKS cluster.

It includes:

• http://www.rabbitmq.com/ is a messaging broker implementing AMQP protocol and providing message exchange between cluster components.
• Pika is a library for communication with RabbitMQ from Python.
• pythondaemon, lockfile - should be provided by base roll
• rocks-command-imagestorage - set of rocks commands
• img-storage-nas - the NAS daemon
• img-storage-vm - the Compute node daemon
• img-storage - the common library containing the code for all daemons

To build/install this roll you must have root access to a Rocks development machine (e.g., a frontend or development appliance).

If your Rocks development machine does not have Internet access you must download the appropriate img-storage source file(s) using a machine that does have Internet access and copy them into the src/<package> directories on your Rocks development machine.

Unknown at this time.

To build the img-storage-roll, execute these instructions on a Rocks development machine (e.g., a frontend or development appliance):

% make default 2>&1 | tee build.log
% grep "RPM build error" build.log

If nothing is returned from the grep command then the roll should have been created as... img-storage-*.iso. If you built the roll on a Rocks frontend then proceed to the installation step. If you built the roll on a Rocks development appliance you need to copy the roll to your Rocks frontend before continuing with installation.

To install, execute these instructions on a Rocks frontend:

% rocks add roll *.iso
% rocks enable roll img-storage
% cd /export/rocks/install
% rocks create distro
% rocks run roll img-storage | bash
