Bug Description

On this page: http://docs.openstack.org/folsom/openstack-compute/admin/content/configuring-openstack-compute-basics.html#configuring-multiple-compute-nodes

The current instructions are wrong, reported on IRC. Please double-check.

If you want to use the 10.04 Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud images that are readily available at http://uec-images.ubuntu.com/releases/10.04/release/, you may run into delays with booting. Any server that does not have nova-api running on it needs this iptables entry so that UEC images can get metadata info. On compute nodes, configure the iptables with this next step:

# iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d 169.254.169.254/32 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination $NOVA_API_IP:8773

should be:

Also, should the instructions refer to 12.04 cloud images rather than 10.04?

    Fix wrong port in metadata example

    fixes bug 1095423

    As reported in the bug, the NAT line for metadata should be using
    port 8775 instead of 8773 for correct access. Also updated
    the instructions to use a later version of ubuntu
