Configure virtualbox

1. Open virtualbox and navigate to its preferences/settings window.

2. Click onto the network tab and then onto the host only network tab.

3. Configure your adapters as follows:

   vboxnet0

   • IPv4 IP address of 192.168.22.1
   • Subnet of 255.255.255.0
   • DHCP server disabled

Start the vagrant boxes

vagrant up

*** Common issues: ***

• ‘Cannot forward the specified ports on this VM’: There could be MySQL or some other service running on the host OS causing vagrant to fail setting up local port forwarding.

Start Cloudstack

1. Clone the Cloudstack Repository:

   	git clone https://github.com/apache/cloudstack.git
   

   *** Note: ***

   Personally I prefer to use the 4.3 codebase rather than master. If you wish to do the same:

   	git reset --hard 0810029
   

2. Download vhd-util:

   	cd /path/to/cloudstack/repo
   	wget http://download.cloudstack.org/tools/vhd-util -P scripts/vm/hypervisor/xenserver/
   	chmod +x scripts/vm/hypervisor/xenserver/vhd-util
   

3. Compile Cloudstack:

   	cd /path/to/cloudstack/repo
   	mvn -P developer,systemvm clean install -DskipTests=true
   

4. Deploy Cloudstack Database:

   	cd /path/to/cloudstack/repo
   	mvn -P developer -pl developer,tools/devcloud4 -Ddeploydb
   

5. Start Cloudstack:

   	cd /path/to/cloudstack/repo
   	mvn -pl :cloud-client-ui jetty:run
   

6. Install Marvin:

   	cd /path/to/cloudstack/repo
   	pip install tools/marvin/dist/Marvin-4.6.0-SNAPSHOT.tar.gz --allow-external mysql-connector-python
   

7. Deploying:

   python -m marvin.deployDataCenter -i marvin.cfg
