ec2ool for clients in diablo

Hi Asok,

The following command would give you nova.zip file.
nova-manage project zipfile $NOVA_PROJECT $NOVA_PROJECT_USER
unzip nova.zip
After unzipping nova.zip, you can see "novarc" file that consists of the required environment variables/settings like access key of $NOVA_PROJECT_USER. Just source the file "novarc" and you will be ready to run euca2ools commands :-)

Hope that helps!

hello my friend

I tried nova-manage project list

2011-11-16 16:17:24,788 DEBUG nova.utils [-] backend <module 'nova.db.sqlalchemy.api' from '/opt/stack/nova/nova/db/sqlalchemy/api.pyc'> from (pid=30787) __get_backend /opt/stack/nova/nova/utils.py:44

I user
keystone-manage credentials add admin EC2 'admin' 'secretpassword'

 to create creds and it's created but I dont know where to find it...

can anyone tell me how to make creds.zip for user, so that they can use ec2ools.

Three environment variables need to be set to use euca2ools.

openrc sets these for you but you could easily create a small rc file for them (note that bundling images currently is not supported).

# Set the ec2 url so euca2ools works
export EC2_URL=${EC2_URL:-http://$HOST_IP:8773/services/Cloud}

# Access key is set in the initial keystone data to be the same as username
export EC2_ACCESS_KEY=${USERNAME:-demo}

# Secret key is set in the initial keystone data to the admin password
export EC2_SECRET_KEY=${ADMIN_PASSWORD:-secrete}

if you give them a file with those three variables set they can use it. To see how to create a new user in keystone with ec2 credentials, checkout files/keystone_data.sh

Also note that you can use any arbitrary string for acess and secret, the keystone_data.sh script just sets access key = username and secret key = password to keep things simple.

hi vish
thank you for answering my question. I followed your answer and created a small rc but still I got some error message form the server.Let me tell you what I did

1. I created a credential for existing user xyz by using
keystone-manage $* credentials add admin EC2 'xyz' 'PASSWORD'

2.I created xyzrc with
# Set the ec2 url so euca2ools works
export EC2_URL=${EC2_URL:-http://$10.10.1.2:8773/services/Cloud}

# Access key is set in the initial keystone data to be the same as username
export EC2_ACCESS_KEY=${USERNAME:-xyz}

# Secret key is set in the initial keystone data to the admin password
export EC2_SECRET_KEY=${ADMIN_PASSWORD:-PASSWORD}

3. In the client side I made source xyzrc and run euca-describe-availability-zones verbose
------------------------------
Warning: failed to parse error message from AWS: <unknown>:1:0: syntax error
EC2ResponseError: 400 Bad Request
400 Bad Request

The server could not comply with the request since it is either malformed or otherwise incorrect.
-----------------------
I am trying to resolve this since long time. I even tried by replacing user name and pass with admin name and pass ,it works at cloud controller but not at client node.

pl z tell me how to solve this.

Nov 23 11:49:08 cloud 2011-11-23 11:49:08,104 INFO nova.api [-] 0.346399s 110.10.1.29 GET /services/Cloud/ None:None 400 [Boto/1.9b (linux2)] text/plain text/plain

you also need to specify a default tenant as the last perameter to your credentials add command -- there should be another admin at the end.

Thank you vish

I tried #7 and it worked.problem was even I sourced the rc file the env variable does not changed, so I used #7 commands to change directly . Now its working.

Thanks Vish Ishaya, that solved my question.
