Bug Description
ref: http://
Anne, I saw your reference to an overhaul of this part of the doc. I happened to have just finished a long struggle with this. Here is my report (using oneiric):
1. Funny quotes: sed -i ‘s/false/true/g’ /etc/default/
2. Installing open-iscsi does not create /etc/default/
3. Restarting iscsitarget gives "FATAL: Module iscsi_trgt not found." so needed to install iscsitarget-dkms.
4. The volume code calls 'ietadm' but the /etc/sudoers.
5. You have to install iscsi on the controller also because it is running compute. The doc says "only compute nodes" in bold.
6. 'iscsiadm' is misspelled as 'iscsciadm' in some places.
7. iscsciadm -m session may return nothing when run on the controller but volumes seem to work.
And finally the most painful: when I had no hair left after trying to figure out why I couldn't see the disk in the guest, I discovered
https:/
which informed me that if you are using kvm then the actual device name in the guest will be different than the one
specified in the attach command. The doc needs to say this!
I hope this is useful. If not, or if there is someplace else I should put such experiences, please let me know.
As a larger issue, I have gotten a lot of information about of the openstack docs and they are well written. My biggest problem has been that honestly, as often than not, when explicit actions or commands are spelled out they don't work!
