As mentioned above, this is a desktop installation of Oneiric to be used for tasks such as bundling of images. It will also be used for managing the cloud infrastructure using euca2ools.

Install euca tools, for command line tools

sudo apt-get install -y euca2ools

Install qemu-kvm

sudo apt-get install -y qemu-kvm

Download the credentials we created for localadmin to this machine:

mkdir /home/localadmin/creds
cd /home/localadmin/creds
scp localadmin@10.10.10.2:/home/localadmin/creds/novacreds.zip .
unzip creds.zip

Source novarc file and see if connectivity to api server is working correctly:

source novarc
euca-describe-availability-zones verbose

The output should be similar to what is shown above in the configuration section for Server1.

Note: If you want to avoid manually sourcing the novarc file every time, the user can add the following line to the .profile file in his home directory:

source /home/localadmin/creds/novarc
