[Bug 684816] [NEW] Node Controller (NC) fail to register

[brian mullan]

Public bug reported:

I had been having problems with UEC on ubuntu 10.10 getting the Node
Controllers (NC) to register correctly.

Finally, after searching both the Ubuntu and Eucalyptus forums (and
launchpad bugs) I found the following message on the Eucalyptus forum:

	when you did 'euca_conf --register-nodes 192.168.1.100', did you type in your password for either root or eucalyptus account on NC?

        If this continue to fail, then you can perform credential
exchange steps manually.

	1. Add a line to /opt/eucalyptus/etc/eucalyptus/eucalyptus.conf
	NODES="IP_ADDRESS_OF_NCs" (eg., NODES="10.0.0.2 10.0.0.3")

	2. Copy followings files from CLC's /opt/eucalytpus/var/lib/eucalyptus/keys to the same directory of NC.
	cc-client-policy.xml cloud-cert.pem cluster-cert.pem nc-client-policy.xml node-cert.pem node-pk.pem

        3. Make sure the owner of above files on NC is eucalyptus.

        4. Restart CLC/CC/NC.

Here is what I found after reading the above in particular the following
statement:

	2. Copy followings files from CLC's /opt/eucalytpus/var/lib/eucalyptus/keys to the same directory of NC.
	cc-client-policy.xml cloud-cert.pem cluster-cert.pem nc-client-policy.xml node-cert.pem node-pk.pem

That statement made me go look to see where those PEM key files actually
were on the CLC and it appears that after a default install of UEC on
10.10 those PEM key files are NOT located in the directory -
/opt/eucalytpus/var/lib/eucalyptus/keys

I found that they were instead they were placed into==>
/var/lib/eucalyptus/keys/cluster1

	$ sudo ls -lg ./var/lib/eucalyptus/keys/cluster1
	total 24
	-rw-r--r-- 1 eucalyptus 1147 2010-09-28 18:43 cloud-cert.pem
	-rw-r--r-- 1 eucalyptus 1147 2010-09-28 18:43 cluster-cert.pem
	-rw-r--r-- 1 eucalyptus 1675 2010-09-28 18:43 cluster-pk.pem
	-rw-r--r-- 1 eucalyptus 1147 2010-09-28 18:43 node-cert.pem
	-rw-r--r-- 1 eucalyptus 1675 2010-09-28 18:43 node-pk.pem
	-rw-r--r-- 1 eucalyptus 512 2010-09-28 18:43 vtunpass

This is probably where the NC registration problems that myself and
others have been reporting are occurring.
