Van Controller x Ubuntu 13.10

[vandewilly]

Is there some trick to install the Van Controller in the Ubuntu 13.10 version?

Hi vandewilly,

As per the HP_VAN_SDN_Controller_Installation_Guide.pdf ,software requirements [page 4] support Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64-bit Server (Linux 3.2 kernel) and not 13.10 The guide mentions this in point 2 [page 5]as below-

2. Ensure that your system has internet access, and is running the following software:

• Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64-bit Server (Linux 3.2 kernel)

NOTE: The Ubuntu Linux OS can run on physical hardware or as a virtual machine (VM). When run as a virtual machine, the following hypervisors are supported:

◦ KVM Version 2.4.5–1 and greater

◦ ESXi Versions 5.0.0, 5.0.1, and greater

Since Ubuntu 13.10 is not supported so there might be other issues too.

One of the key differences is on 12.04 LTS we use Keystone form the Folsom release of Openstack from the cloud archive and on 13.10  we believe it is from the Havana release of OpenStack..

I happened to install VAN controller 2.2 on Ubuntu 13.10. Everything seems to go as mentioned in the document. No errors. Once you try to login it returns a blank page. Do let me know if you need any logs for investigation.

Help do get returned..

Hi Pradeep

I would suggest you have a look at the second post in this thread by Sdindia for details, but basically the HP VAN SDN Controller requires you to be using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, and there is further requirements documented in the Installation guide as there is certain software versioning requirements.

Kind Regards

Team,

Am sorry. I removed my 13.10 machine today to make space for another system. Do feel free to reach out for any specific test you want me to get into.. I have 12.04 system active now.
