vSphere hardware profiles
by Xavier Naveira
Hi list,
I'm trying to figure out Aeolus to be able to manage a vSphere deployment.
I'm on a fresh installed installation on Fedora 16.
I've been able to create images to test with but I don't get the
hardware profiles to work properly. When I go
"Administrer->Content->Hardware->New Hardware Profile" under "Matching
Provider Hardware Profiles" I only get a profile on "Hardware Profile
Name" named "default" which has "n/a" as storage amount, thus when I
create a new hardware profile I never get a match.
How do I create further "Provider Hardware Profiles"??
According to the wiki instructions I should have a bunch of profiles
already created but I don't see them.
Thank you!

suggested cloud platform
by Marcus Moeller
Hi all,
I have taken a look at OpenStack now and try to compare it to a solution
with Aeolus/oVirt.
I wonder which real benifit OpenStack has over Aoelus/oVirt.
Could one of you perhaps point out the limitations of the latter?
From my observations, the complete provisioning and image handling
process could be done very well with Aeolus.
Greetings

Could not sign into Conductor after fresh install on Fedora 16
by Jiří Stránský
Hi,
as an Aeolus newbie I was asked to report on how the installation
process goes when following the guide [1].
I installed it on a fresh Fedora 16. I installed the aeolus-all package
and ran aeolus-configure, but then I could not sign in with the default
credentials ("admin"/"password") into Conductor.
However, aeolus-configure showed no errors (all text was printed green).
I ran aeolus-configure like this: "sudo /usr/sbin/aeolus-configure -p
ec2,mock". The output is attached.
After running
cd /usr/share/aeolus-conductor
RAILS_ENV=production rake dc:create_admin_user
everything worked fine.
Following the rest of the guide worked out well, although I only tested
things with mock provider, because I don't have an EC2 account yet.
Have a nice friday and weekend,
Jirka

Errors in aeolus-configure on Fedora 17
by Tomas Sedovic
Hi,
I've just tried to install Aeolus on a pretty clean Fedora 17 setup.
Following the website guide[1], I installed the aeolus-all package and
run the aeolus-configure script.
Throughout the configuration I saw about 5 red error messages. See the
attached output in its (sadly colourless) entirety.
Things seems to be working so far but it would look scary to new users.
Just an FYI.
Take care,
Thomas
