# 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 VBOX-OSE (available through ubuntu repo)
|
||
|
|
3. Download a VDI from [here](http://downloads.sourceforge.net/virtualboximage/centos-5.2-x86.7z) into your working dir
|
||
|
|
3. Install p7zip on your ubuntu machine, if missing
|
||
|
|
3. Extract the 7z archive into your working dir
|
||
|
|
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 webservice with increasead timeout: $ /usr/bin/vboxwebsrv --timeout 10000 and then will:
|
||
|
|
- Clone originalDisk to clonedDisk in workingDir
|
||
|
|
- Set NAT on network interface eth0
|
||
|
|
- Set port forwarding localhost:2222->guest:22
|
||
|
|
- Create a VM in the the vbox default machine folder ("/user.home/VirtualBox VMs")
|
||
|
|
- Mount guest additions ISO
|
||
|
|
- Install guest additions
|
||
|
|
- Shutdown VM
|
||
|
|
- Remove port forwarding rule
|
||
|
|
- Remove NAT network interface
|
||
|
|
- Detach vdisk from VM template
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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 master VM created before
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It will create a "numberOfVirtualMachine" in a vbox default machine folder with 'VMName_i' name
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
NB: for perfomance reason, these VM will share the same disk (the template created at step 1) attached in "multiattach mode" (http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch05.html#hdimagewrites)
