Installing Eucalyptus using RPMs (1.4)

1. Download RPMs ¶

Eucalyptus RPM installation is broken up into several packages. Besides the general files required on all nodes, we separately package Eucalyptus running components: the cloud controller (-cloud RPM), the cluster controller (-cc RPM), and the node controller (-nc RPM). Furthermore, to simplify the installation, we offer copies of third-party packages that Eucalyptus depends on (Apache -compiled to run as root-, libvirt and axis2c) bundled into a single "deps" tarball.

E.g., for an x86_64 installation, download from http://eucalyptus.cs.ucsb.edu/downloads

• eucalyptus-1.4-2.x86_64.rpm
• eucalyptus-nc-1.4-2.x86_64.rpm
• eucalyptus-cc-1.4-2.x86_64.rpm
• eucalyptus-gl-1.4-2.x86_64.rpm
• eucalyptus-cloud-1.4-2.x86_64.rpm
• eucalyptus-1.4-rpm-deps-x86_64.tar.gz

Change x86_64 into i386 to download 32 bit RPMs instead.

2. Install RPMs on the front end ¶

On front end, where cloud controller and cluster controller will run, install the -cloud and -cc RPMs, along with the third-party dependencies:

rpm -Uvh euca-axis2c-1.4-1.x86_64.rpm \
         euca-httpd-1.4-1.x86_64.rpm \
         euca-libvirt-1.4-1.x86_64.rpm \
         eucalyptus-1.4-2.x86_64.rpm \
         eucalyptus-cloud-1.4-2.x86_64.rpm \
         eucalyptus-gl-1.4-2.x86_64.rpm \
         eucalyptus-cc-1.4-2.x86_64.rpm

2.3 Install RPMs on the nodes ¶

On the compute nodes, install the node controller RPM, along with the third-party dependencies:

rpm -Uvh euca-axis2c-1.4-1.x86_64.rpm \
         euca-libvirt-1.4-1.x86_64.rpm \
         euca-httpd-1.4-1.x86_64.rpm \
         eucalyptus-1.4-2.x86_64.rpm \
         eucalyptus-gl-1.4-2.x86_64.rpm \
         eucalyptus-nc-1.4-2.x86_64.rpm
