Configure the Node Controller(s)

The Eucalyptus Node Controller controls virtual machine activities, including the running, verification, and termination of virtual machine instances. Note that in the Cloud-in-a-Box configuration, this is handled automatically, and you may move on to configure the Frontend.

To configure the Node Controller(s):

Boot the system. At the login prompt, log in as the root user. The Node Controller configuration script will run automatically.
Answer "yes" at the prompt to configure NTP.
Accept the default value for networking mode, MANAGED-NOVLAN.
Accept the default value for public ethernet interface, which will be the NIC you originally configured during the system setup.
The script should now be complete. If you need to change any value for any reason, you may do so by running the command eucalyptus-nc-config.sh as root.

You are now ready to configure the Frontend.
