OpenStack Compute (nova)

Is it possible to create zipfile correctly using nova-mange when nova-api and nova-objectstore are installed on different machine?

Asked by guanxiaohua2k6

Hello,

I tried to create zipfile using command "nova-manage project zipfile IRT anne" on the machine installed with nova-api. And nova-objectstore is installed into another machine. I got the file nova.zip, but I found that the value of S3_URL in file novarc is wrong. It wasn't using ip address of nova-objectstore but nova-api.

I read the source "nova/auth/manager.py", and found that the value of FLAGS.ec2_host is used as S3 IP address. I think it is like a bug. Could anyone confirm it?

The relative source is function get_credentials(self, user, project=None, use_dmz=True), __generate_rc() in file "nova/auth/manager.py".

api and objectstore currently need to run on the same machine. This is due to the need for objectstore to access the certificates generated by nova-api to unpack images. This is something that will be addressed soon and should be available in cactus.
