OpenNode ISO Installer

OpenNode Cloud Platform is a open source server virtualization and management solution which currently consists of following components:

  • OpenNode bare-metal installer - providing easy to use (CentOS / RHEL based) bare-metal ISO installer and supporting both OpenVZ containers and emerging KVM full virtualization technology on the same physical host. For a local OpenNode management we have included OpenNode TUI Utility and well-known standard tools like virsh and vzctl.
  • CentOS-to-OpenNode conversion script - as an alternative to bare-metal ISO or networked PXE installations
  • OpenNode Management Server 2.0 (beta) - packaged and delivered simply as a VM appliance onto OpenNode host - easy installation is provided via local OpenNode TUI Utility and takes just couple of minutes.
  • OpenNode Management Console 2.0 (beta) - next-generation web-based ajax management console with really simple and uncluttered layout - providing VM instances management on OpenNode hosts together with pure HTML5 based VNC and SSH VM consoles. OpenNode Management Console is included in OpenNode Management Server appliance.

Why OpenNode?

  • OpenNode aims to be simple yet usable
  • OpenNode is based on "industry standard" components - RHEL/CentOS, libvirt, python, FUNC, etc.
  • OpenNode combines strengths from different virtualization technologies - supporting both container and full virtualization options

OpenNode bare-metal ISO installer features:

  • automated partitioning and LVM setup
  • automated softraid setup
  • automated host node bridge networking setup for openvz and kvm

  • RHEL6 kernel (provided by OpenVZ project) modified to support both openvz container and kvm full virtualization
  • libvirt management interface support for openvz and kvm hypervisors
  • func (https://fedorahosted.org/func/) client support for central management purposes
  • VM template downloads provided by OpenNode TUI utility and management console UI
