Hi all, I am very new to SLES 12 SP3 and also Openstack. I have been reading up on what openstack is and am still confused by it. I have a system installed with SLES 12 SP3 and downloaded Openstack Cloud 8 through the net. As I was trying to install Cloud 8 on my SLES 12 system, I couldnt find any options to do so. Can someone provide me with a guide on how can I install openstack cloud 8 image on SLES 12 SP3? ---

If you want the easiest/fast and arguably best way, it is to get SUSE OpenStack Cloud directly from SUSE. Maybe that is what you meant, but “downloaded it from the net” makes me think you have downloaded everything directly from the main project, and while that should work, it is so much harder that it is really not worth it. They do a great job of making a great project, as most vendors of projects to, but they do not make it nearly as easy to install as SUSE does for their platform (arguably for any platform), which is one reason why SUSE always wins the OpenStack install competitions over other distributions (see Google for details if interested). If you want to get it from SUSE, which is why this forum exists, it has its own channel; once subscribed, you choose the pattern and go from there (complete with documentation). [https://www.suse.com/documentation/suse-openstack-cloud-8/index.html](https://www.suse.com/documentation/suse-openstack-cloud-8/index.html) – Good luck.

Hi, Thanks for the reply. I got the installer from [https://www.suse.com/products/suse-openstack-cloud/download/zflWvBZbQyg~/](https://www.suse.com/products/suse-openstack-cloud/download/zflWvBZbQyg~/) Its an evaluation copy. Was wondering if its possible to install with that? Will look up the guide provided. Thanks! ---

Yes because you will need DVD1 of either the Crowbar or Cloud Lifecycle Manager (non-Crowbar) download but no because you will need to boot from DVD1 of SLES12 SP3 (x86\_64). [color=blue] > Will look up the guide provided.

If you have registered your server you don’t actually need to download any additional media as you should be able to add SUSE OpenStack Cloud 8 via YaST. I strongly suggest that you read the documentation for SUSE OpenStack Cloud 8. ## HTH.
