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 |
