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=) 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.
