For more information, please consult the Crowbar Deployment Guide.

If you wish to change the default IP address for crowbar see here first.

After you have completed the Build Crowbar.ISO step, you are ready to install Crowbar!

  1. Optional: Burn the ISO to a DVD (you can get them from http://crowbar.zehicle.com)
  2. Boot using the ISO or physical DVD and it will setup Ubuntu 12.04 or CentOS and stage Crowbar for install
  3. Log in as crowbar/crowbar (for v1 and pre 9/1/11 ISOs, the auth is openstack/openstack)
  4. sudo -i
  5. Optional: Change the timezone to your local timezone (some find it confusing):
$ echo "US/Eastern" | sudo tee /etc/timezone
US/Eastern
$ dpkg-reconfigure --frontend noninteractive tzdata
Current default time zone: 'America/New_York'
Local time is now:      Thu Jul 19 17:17:30 EDT 2012.
Universal Time is now:  Thu Jul 19 21:17:30 UTC 2012.
  1. Make sure the date/time is synchronized date MMDDHHMM
  2. If you want to change the default IP ranges (192.168.124.x) or VLANs (100, 300, 500, etc), read change the default IP address
    1. For a VMware installation of OpenStack, we recommend using FOUR host-only networks and turn off VLANs in the network.json file
    2. For installation on physical equipment, please review the network.json file and ensure that you are matching the network VLAN maps
  3. Go to the install directory
    1. On Ubuntu cd /tftpboot/ubuntu_dvd/extra
    2. On RHEL or Centos cd /tftpboot/redhat_dvd/extra
  4. ./install admin.crowbar.org (or whatever FQDN you want your admin node to have).

The rest of Crowbar will then install. Unless you change the networking defaults, you can access the Crowbar server:
