“Prerequisites

“To deploy a minimal cloud infrastructure, you’ll need at least
two dedicated systems. One will hold the cloud controller (clc),
the cluster controller (cc), walrus (the S3-like storage service)
and the storage controller (sc). This one needs fast disks and a
reasonably fast processor. The other system(s) are node controllers
(nc) that will actually run the instances. These ones need CPUs
with VT extensions, lots of CPU cores, lots of RAM, and fast disks.
For both, 64-bit support is highly recommended. Installing the
cloud/cluster controller

“Download the 9.10 Server beta ISO. When you boot, select

“Cluster” or a “Node” install, select “Cluster”. It will ask two
other cloud-specific questions during the course of the
install:”
