Thursday, June 23, 2011

openQRM is the next generation, open-source Data-center management platform. Its fully pluggable architecture focuses on automatic, rapid- and appliance-based deployment, monitoring, high-availability, cloud computing and especially on supporting and conforming multiple virtualization technologies. openQRM is a single-management console for the complete IT-infra structure and provides a well defined API which can be used to integrate third-party tools as additional plugins.

Now, I will guide you how to install OpenQRM on CentOS 5.6 in a simple way. First, you will need an extra disk for "Server-Image Store".

Then, we need some preparations.

1- Edit your hosts file

2- Install Enterprise iSCSI Target

yum -y install kernel-devel openssl-devel gcc rpm-build
mkdir ietd
cd ietd/
wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/iscsitarget/files/
iscsitarget/1.4.20.1/iscsitarget-1.4.20.1.tar.gz
tar -xzf iscsitarget-1.4.20.1.tar.gz
cd iscsitarget-1.4.20.1
make && make install
/etc/init.d/iscsi-target start

3- Install MySQL Server

/etc/init.d/mysql start
