Managing VMs on the UVIC Mouse OpenStack Cloud

There is documentation at CERN

http://information-technology.web.cern.ch/book/cern-private-cloud-user-guide/openstack-information

Retrieve the HEP-openrc.sh file from the Mouse OS Portal (within the Access and Security tab, then the API Access tab)

Put the file into your home directory of login.heprc.uvic.ca and source the script (note there is no error message for an incorrect pw)

source HEP-openrc.sh

Check that my credential are correct:

nova keypair-list

List available images and the available flavour types

glance image-list
nova flavor-list

Boot my image

nova boot --image sobie-belle --flavor m1.small --key_name macsob-keypar rjstest

List the instance status

nova list

Associate the IP address to the VM ID

 nova add-floating-ip 5c917b9b-10ba-4740-9c3d-40c388d696ed 206.12.154.196

Confirm the VM has the IP address
