Hi,

I’m trying to setup Suse private cloud 7 environment on virtual platform by following the deployment guide https://www.suse.com/documentation/suse-openstack-cloud-7/book_cloud_deploy/data/book_cloud_deploy.html provided by Suse.

After executing the [B]“crowbarctl database create” [/B]it’s error with the following message.
crowbarctl database create --debug

How is the networking configured on your Administration Server? How have
you set up your Software Repositories?

Make sure you have postgresql94-server installed and started postgresql.service before running “crowbarctl database create”.

Admin server is having one nic card and it’s configured with static ipaddress “192.168.124.10”( using default crowbar networks only) . coming to Software Repositories, I have configured SMT server locally and mirrored all the repositories from " www.updates.suse.com" by running the command " smt-mirror -L /var/log/smt/smt-mirrror.log".

Thank you,

There’s another thing we have experienced while setting up the cloud: DNS. Make sure your admin server is resolvable, add its fqdn to /etc/hosts. If possible, add it to your DNS server, too, in one of our installations the entry in /etc/hosts was not enough.

"hostname -f " is giving the expected output, anyhow I have started fresh installation and this time “crowbarctl database create” executed successfully without any error.
