Guys,
Good job. I am trying to install the same on CentOS. Do the Node controller needs to be VT enabled for CentOS as well?.
I hope Eucalyptus doesnt have any metering/billing options. Did you any other tools that can be integreated with this? I am so sorry for many question. Thanks in advanced.

If you intend to use KVM as your hypervisor, then you will need a VT enabled machine. With Xen, non-VT machines can be used as NCs. Please refer: RHEL5 Virtualization Guide to know about the XEN/KVM limitations.
There are no options available with Eucalyptus. But Eucalyptus supports integration with a running Nagios and/or Ganglia
installations for monitoring purposes. Munin is another tool which can be used to monitor performance.

Nice work. Thank you, it really helps.
But I still have a question.
For server1, does it have to own two NICs(eth0 for enterprise, eth1 for eucalyptus)?
What if the server1 has only one NIC in my environment?

Hi,
The need to have two NICs on server1 is for isolating the nodes from your enterprise network (LAN) and put them on a private network. This way you would add additional security to the nodes themselves from being accessible from outside. Moving your private cloud to public cloud (access euca instances via internet) would be a good use case.
cheers,
Kiran

hi,
currently i m working on a project where i need to create a private cloud where i can deploy ma solution. Could u pls tell me whether the whole setup works if we use only one NIC on server 1?
and what should i do if doesnt work?

Hi,
The setup will work with one NIC also. You need to modify variables in eucalyptus.conf accordingly.
On CC, VNET_PRIV=eth0; VNET_PUB=eth0
On NC, VNET_PRIV=br0; VNET_PUB=br0
This should get your private cloud working.
Hope that helps.
cheers,
