OpenStack:VM Build

From DocWiki

Install Ubuntu 12.04LTS on a node, include OpenSSH and Virtual Machine tools

Install python-vm-builder

Become root (sudo -H bash)

Create a bridge interface on your local machine (for some reason using virbr0 doesn't seem to make things happy, probably because that's expected to be used for KVM NAT):

Restart networking:

create a vmbuilder default file:

Create a partition model:

Now build a virtual machine

Once built, you can either run the vm from the cli:

apt-get install --no-install-recommends ubuntu-desktop -y

apt-get install gnome-session-fallback -y

apt-get install vnc4server -y

vncserver

vncserver -kill :1

cat > ~/.vnc/xstartup<<EOF

#!/bin/sh

1. Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:
   

unset SESSION_MANAGER

#exec sh /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

gnome-session --session=gnome-classic &

[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup

[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources

xsetroot -solid grey

vncconfig -iconic &

#x-terminal-emulator -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &

#x-window-manager &

EOF

vncserver -geometry 1280x1024

apt-get install virt-manager -y
