How to switch from a KVM based openstack installation to LXC?
Dear all,
We have an Havana Openstack development server that was setup to use KVM as the libvirt driver. I now want to move to LXC but I'm having trouble with it so I was hoping someone could clarify a few things for me.
Here are my questions:
in order to setup LXC, I changed the "virt_type" to lxc, installed lxc and restarted openstack-nova-compute on all my compute nodes. Is this all we need to do?
can I instantiate snapshot images that were created from KVM instances in LXC? Do I need to convert them first in any way? I also tried to instantiate the cirros image without success.
I'm getting an error message that states that "variable 'domain' referenced before assignment" popup in Horizon when I try to instantiate a VM. I found a known bug for a similar problem (apparently I can't post links so I'll just say it is nova bug #1326998) but I'm not 100% sure it is the same issue and I highly doubt that I have to upgrade to Icehouse to fix this? ...do I?
Any thoughts?
Thank you,
Luis Silva
