This guide explains how to create a virtual machine (VM) using Radiant's OpenStack Dashboard (Horizon). There is also a description of how to access your new VM and how to mount persistent storage volumes.

...

First thing to do is make sure you mount in Taiga bulk storage condo if you want to use more diskspace. Each instance only has a little storage (40GB) that is primarily used for the OS. You can mount additional Taiga Bulk storage via NFS using:

sudo mount -t nfs radianttaiga-nfs.ncsa.illinois.edu:/taiga/ncsa/radiant/bbXX /projects/bbdb /mntmnt/point
Where bbXX is your unique Radiant project code and /mnt/point is the target mount path.

This will make your bulk storage space available on your machine. It will take a few minutes from when your machine boots, until the space can be mounted.

Trouble in the system

  • I’m out of diskspace. Make sure to mount storage condo for all your data. You only have a small amount of root storage.
