Hi Jin Qin,

the current SugarCRM does not include VM images and also no references to
images. Currently, we are assuming that the respective cloud runtime will
just provide an RHEL 6.3 x86_64 or equivalent image (Fedore or CentOS) for
creating the VMs.

On your second question: the statement in my last email is correct: the VMs
just have the base operating system installed and do not yet include any of
the packages for mysql. httpd, php etc. Those get installed by deploying
the DeploymentArtifacts of type OsPackageArtifact. This is purely
declarative, so that's why there is no install command in any of the
scripts. Solely by the fact that those DeploymentArtifacts are defined, the
orchestrator "knows" that the respective packages have to be installed
before any of the script operations run. Based on the package type, the
orchestrator "knows" which install commands to use for the packages.

Regards,
Thomas

Hi Thomas,

         VM  images  are supposed to be included in the CSAR package. These
VM  images  should  be  referenced  by  the  corresponding  NodeTemplate or
NodeTypeImplementation.  But  we  find  no clue in the current CSAR package
that  can  lead  to  an  image.  So we just wander how could you locate and
import the VM images before deploying the CRM application?

         In  the  last  email  which  you reply to me mentioned that the VM
image  just  provide the base operation system. But in Matt’s mail, he said
the  VM image should include the Apache or Mysql. So could you discuss with
Matt  to  ensure  which  solution  IBM  will  adopt? Indeed I prefer Matt’s
opinion,  it could make the test more simply. And currently the scripts are
not provide the install function.

Best Regards
Jin Qin
