Introduction
This page describes the following computer systems:
- noodle
- doodle
These systems have the following roles:
- test cluster (e.g. for experimenting with HA)
Installation log
Complete InstallingDebian with the following adjustments:
For noodle, supply the following input to mdi:
gnocchi# ./mdi edit noodle target profile [standard]: target is VM [true]: auto iSCSI server [auto]: target is fully virtualised VM [auto]: target MAC address [auto]: vmserver hostname [auto]: fiori target release [auto]: squeeze VG on iSCSI server [auto]: target root disk size [auto]: target RAM [auto]: gnocchi#
For doodle, supply the following input to mdi:
gnocchi# ./mdi edit doodle target profile [standard]: target is VM [auto]: iSCSI server [auto]: target is fully virtualised VM [auto]: target MAC address [auto]: vmserver hostname [auto]: torchio target release [auto]: squeeze VG on iSCSI server [auto]: target root disk size [auto]: target RAM [auto]: gnocchi#
Before running pdi, on the VM server, complete the procedure "configuring a VM to access multiple bridges", which is described at ConfiguringClusterServices.
For noodle, supply the following input to pdi:
