Successfull Installation of Eucalyptus in BOSS Server 1.0

Today We were(Me and Thiagesh (New Guy !!)) asked to install  Eucalyptus 2.0.0 in BOSS Server 1.0.

But fortunately we were able to install in the 2nd Attempt !! (Gr8)

Some things which I noted are as follows.

1. Set your Hostname

cat >> /etc/hostname
Cloud-Head
Press Ctrl + D


2. Add your Hostname in the /etc/hosts file
vim /etc/hosts

LANIP   HostName
127.0.0.1       localhost


If you did not do this it will create problem while starting the eucalyptus-cloud script.

3. Disable ISCSI

vim/opt/eucalyptus/etc/eucalyptus/eucalyptus.conf

DISABLE_ISCSI="Y"


save the file


4. Better Use Open-JDK.
Eucalyptus Cloud community says they support both SUN JDK and Open  JDK,
it s better to go with Open-JDK.

How to Set JAVA_HOME for open-JDK ?

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk

export JAVA="$JAVA_HOME/jre/bin/java

5. Eucalyptus uses AXIS 2C  and AXIS.

Be sure that you have the AXIS 2C and AXIS executable in the path,

For Axis:

/opt/eucalyptus/packages/axis2-1.4/bin

with the following files,


axis2.bat  axis2server.bat  axis2server.sh  axis2.sh  java2wsdl.bat  java2wsdl.sh  setenv.sh  wsdl2java.bat  wsdl2java.sh

For AXIS - 2C:

/opt/eucalyptus/packages/axis2c-1.6.0/bin

with the following files,


axis2_http_server  tools
