Getting started with OpenNebula (one) Fog provider

OpenNebula provides ruby bindings to access the xml-rpc

The opennebula fog extensions provides examples for using Fog with OpenNebula (4.4).

Note: This provider is under construction! This means everything that is provided should work without problems, but there are many features not available yet. Please contribute!

Requirements

For working with this provider the following pre-requisites are needed:

• Ruby version 1.8.x or 1.9.x
• fog gem
• Working OpenNebula instance with XML-RPC and credentials
• This version is tested with OpenNebula 4.4 and the opennebula gem dependency is hardcoded to this version. it should work with version 4.6, but is not tested.

Examples

General proceeding:

• Connect to one-rpc
• create new vm object
• fetch a template/flavor from one (this template should be predefined)
• assigne the flavor/template to the vm
• change the attributes of this flavor/template (name, cpu, memory, nics....)
• save/instantiate the vm

require 'fog'

# connect to your one rpc
con = Fog::Compute.new(
    {
      :provider => 'OpenNebula',
      :opennebula_username => 'user',
      :opennebula_password => 'password',
      :opennebula_endpoint => 'http://oned.domain:2633/RPC2'
    }
  )


# list all vms
con.servers

# list all flavors (templates in OpenNebula slang)
con.flavors

# get flavor with id 4
con.flavors.get 4

# list all Virtual Networks
con.networks
con.networks.get 2

# get all usergroups
con.groups

# create a new vm (creates the object, the vm is not instantiated yet)
newvm = con.servers.new

# set the flavor of the vm
newvm.flavor = con.flavors.get 4

# set the name of the vm
newvm.name = "FooBarVM"

# set the groupid of the vm 
newvm.gid = 0

# set cores and memory (MB)
newvm.flavor.vcpu = 2
newvm.flavor.memory = 256

# create a new network interface attached to the network with id 1 and virtio as driver/model
network = client.networks.get(1)
nic = con.interfaces.new({ :vnet => network, :model => "virtio"})

# Attach the new nic to our vm
newvm.flavor.nic = [ nic ]

# instantiat the new vm
newvm.save

AND everything not mentioned in features or examples ;)

Troubleshooting

• ArgumentError: opennebula is not a recognized compute provider
  • is the correct gem version included?
