Hi Rob have been working with openstack for about a month now. I have been particularly focused on Swift. While looking for information on issues I found crowbar and have now built a test system. Built at the moment on top of vmware on esx on dell hardware and on virtualbox on my mac for prototyping.

I have a question as I have seen many inconsistencies in openstack swift deployment guides. I have used the barclamps to install a 3 storage node and a ring node compute / proxy for swift.
I notice that you are not using swift-auth in the barclamp and I have also experienced the issues with swauth moving out of the swift build. What should I be using to add users to the build. ?

Also some feedback translating mac addresses to servers in a virtual test environment is a bit of a nightmare. Might be something to think about in a future release.

Phil,

Thanks for your comment. I’m glad to hear that Crowbar is useful to you! The node name bugs us too, we’re working on it.

Could you repost your swift question to the listserv? Andi Abes has the answer but I’m trying to make sure that we use the list for user assistance so the knowledge is widely shared.

Rob

thats for the reply Rob what is the link to the listserv?

Also keep the videos coming maybe a demo ins all of nova and swift from end to end as it equals 100′s of pages of reading and researching
