# 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 10.04.3 server i386 ISO into "jclouds-virtualbox-test" from http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04/ubuntu-10.04.3-server-i386.iso
|
|
4. Download VirtualBox Guest Additions ISO into "jclouds-virtualbox-test" from http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.1.8/VBoxGuestAdditions_4.1.8.iso
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
** NOTE! **
|
|
Make sure you change your VirtualBox preferences to not auto-capture keyboard, and also set host key to none. Otherwise you may accidentally screw-up automated installs.
