@ -12,31 +12,28 @@ 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
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 webservice with increasead timeout: $ /usr/bin/vboxwebsrv --timeout 10000 and then will:
- Clone originalDisk to clonedDisk in workingDir
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
- Create a VM in the the vbox default machine folder ("/user.home/VirtualBox VMs")
- Mount guest additions ISO
- Install guest additions
- Mount Guest Additions ISO
- Install Guest additions
- Shutdown VM
- create a snapshot of this machine, to enabling linked clone feature.
- Remove port forwarding rule
- Remove NAT network interface
- Detach vdisk from VM template
- 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 master VM created before
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
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)
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.
