Could not start cloudmonkey

After installing cloudstack, cloudmonkey couldnot be used, the reason is listed as following:

% cloudmonkey
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/cloudmonkey", line 5, in <module>
    from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
  File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/pkg_resources.py", line 2603, in <module>
    working_set.require(__requires__)
  File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/pkg_resources.py", line 666, in require
    needed = self.resolve(parse_requirements(requirements))
  File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/pkg_resources.py", line 565, in resolve
    raise DistributionNotFound(req)  # XXX put more info here
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: requests

The solution is via:

# easy_install --upgrade pip
# pip install --upgrade setuptools
# pip install --upgrade distribute
# wget https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/raw/bootstrap/ez_setup.py -O - | python

So Now you could use cloudstack.

Use Ansible Together With Cloudmonkey

I think because my cloudstack agent didn’t use a bridge, so the cloudmonkey runs failed.

Cloudmonkey tips

Configure the secstorage download address for local usage.

# cloudmonkey update configuration name=secstorage.allowed.internal.sites
 value=192.168.0.0/16

Create a new service offering:

# cloudmonkey create serviceoffering cpunumber=1 cpuspeed=500 displaytext=monkeyking
memory=256 name=monkeyking

Register the new template:

cloudmonkey register template hypervisor=kvm zoneid=2ee04a60-499c-bcc6-c3ba92624b35 format=qcow2 name=tinycore displaytext=tinycoretemplate ispublic=true ostypeid=11 url=http://192.168.0.79/tiny.qcow2

The ostypeid could be adjusted in the graphical interface, while the ostypeid for other Linux(64-bit) is

ostypeid = ff2564a4-a91e-11e5-9855-52540048638c

Start an instance via cloudmonkey, refers to following command:

$ Deploy VirtualMachine ZoneID=<zoneid> ServiceOfferingID=<serviceofferingid> TemplateID=<templateid> StartVM=false IPAddress=192.168.30.10 Name=My-VirtualMachine DisplayName=“My Virtual Machine”
