| # Administation viewpoint |
| |
| These steps are usually in charge of cloud provider, in this case it's up to you |
| |
| The experiment assumes almost nothing: only a running Ubuntu 11.04 where java6 and maven3 are installed. |
| |
| ## Prepare your Master VM |
| By launching "VirtualboxAdministrationTest" an helper class to execute a number of preliminary steps needed to have a properly configured ubuntu box |
| and to create a golden template for your experiment. |
| |
| The "VirtualboxAdministrationTest" helper will run these preliminary steps: |
| |
| 1. Create a working dir on 'user.home' called by default "jclouds-virtualbox-test" |
| (this value can be overwritten directly on the commandline using -Dtest.virtualbox.workingDir) |
| 2. Install Virtualbox from the internet (mac os x lion and ubuntu host are supported at the moment) |
| 3. Download by default an ubuntu 11.04 server i386 ISO into "jclouds-virtualbox-test" from http://releases.ubuntu.com/11.04/ubuntu-11.04-server-i386.iso. |
| 4. Download VirtualBox Guest Additions ISO (tested with VBoxGuestAdditions_4.0.2-update-69551.iso) into "jclouds-virtualbox-test" |
| 5. Disable login credential: $ VBoxManage setproperty websrvauthlibrary null |
| 6. Start an embedded jetty server that serves a preseed file specifically written for ubuntu 11.04 |
| 7. Start webservice with increasead timeout: $ /usr/bin/vboxwebsrv --timeout 10000 and then will: |
| - create a "jclouds-virtaulbox-kickstart-admin" vm in the the vbox default machine folder ("/user.home/VirtualBox VMs") |
| - install automatically the OS (ubuntu 11.04) in this vm using preseed |
| - Set NAT on network interface eth0 |
| - Set port forwarding localhost:2222->guest:22 |
| - Mount Guest Additions ISO |
| - Install Guest additions |
| - Shutdown VM |
| - create a snapshot of this machine, to enabling linked clone feature. |
| - Remove port forwarding rule |
| - Change NIC from NAt to bridge |
| |
| At this stage, you can use your template as a master for your "private" cloud through VirtualBoxLiveTest |
| |
| ## Bootstrap your private cloud through VirtualBoxLiveTest helper |
| To use this helper, you have to specify the name of the VM (-Dtest.virtualbox.vmname=<VM-NAME>) |
| and choose the numberOfVirtualMachine you need using -Dtest.virtualbox.numberOfVirtualMachine=<#ofVMs>, |
| These VMs will be cloned starting from the golden template VM created before |
| |
| It will create a "numberOfVirtualMachine" in a vbox default machine folder with 'VMName_i' name, by cloning the golden template in linked mode with a bridged NIC. |
