Installing Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud in a Physical Environment: Supplement (2) to “Guidelines for Building a Private Cloud Infrastructure”

This document contains the supplemental material to “Guidelines for Building a Private Cloud Infrastructure.” This supplemental material provides guidance on how to install Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud in a physical environment. The purpose of this document is to provide a practical, step-by-step, detailed guide on how to pre-configure and install the machines and network. For more detailed description of the steps, a reader is advised to refer to another supplemental book named “Installing and Scaling out Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud in Virtual Environment.” There are a few more details, accompanied with screenshots. The material included in this supplemental document is based on the installation that was performed in a physical environment based on HP ProLiant DL380 G4 servers, 100 Mbit/s witches, and a firewall/router that isolated the whole solution. The cloud installation was performed using the (for the time being) newest version of the UEC, based on the Ubuntu 11.04. The installation was performed using “CD Install” method (otherwise, there was also a “Package Install” method ). This material in this document is based on Eucalyptus version installed is 2.0.2.
