Configure IaaS architecture in Eucalyptus for installing multiple

operating systems in same host machine

Aim:
To Create virtual private cloud (VPC) is essentially a pool of shared resources hosted
within a public cloud.

Prerequisite:
1.VMware or Virtualbox
2. Ubuntu os with configuration

Procedure:
Step 1: First, install the operating system. We can either install it in a separate partition on our
hard disk or on virtualisation software like VMware or Virtualbox.

Step 2: Install Eucalyptus and Boot your system with Eucalyptus bootable DVD by opening
your system, Where you can see various options.

Step 3: Select option 3 cloud-in-box and press Enter

Step 4: In this step, the setup will ask you to run a media test, just skip this step and configure
different options like language and keyboard settings.
Step 5: Next, Configure the Network settings manually. Select Static mode, if you select
DHCP and if the address changes after installation, the OS won’t work smoothly.

Step 6: Click Next and Now, select the mode of installation on the hard drive.

Step 7: Select option 5 Create Custom Layout and click on Next. Select the partition
that you created in Ubuntu for Eucalyptus.
Step 8: Go to Gpart tools and create a partition for min 2 GB and click Apply.

Step 9: select the partition and click create

Step 10: Now double click on the free partition and it will pop-up to create an additional
partition. Create a Swap partition of 2GB.
Step 11: After creating Swap partition, again double click on the free space and create
a boot partition of 400 MB.

Step 12: Once you create Swap and boot partitions, then allow rest of the space to
root. For doing this, select the free space and click on the Create option, select
Standard Volume option and click ok then Next.
Step 13: If all the partitions are created successfully, then click Next and you will see a
screen that will ask you which operating system boot loader will show operating system
list.

Step 14: When the installation is complete, reboot it. You will be asked to press any key
to see other boot options. Press any key and you will get a screen as shown in the
screenshot where you will get two options – Eucalyptus and other.

Result:
We have successfully created a Eucalyptus and installed multiple operating
systems in the same host machine.
