Vnx-install

Installing on Ubuntu 10.04/9.10
This section describes the procedure for installing VNX over Ubuntu 10.04 or 9.10. Open a root shell window and follow these steps: 

Install all packages required (basic development, virtualization, perl libraries and auxiliar packages): apt-get update apt-get install build-essential qemu-kvm libvirt-bin vlan xterm bridge-utils \ screen virt-manager virt-viewer libxml-checker-perl \ libxml-parser-perl libnetaddr-ip-perl libnet-pcap-perl libnet-ipv6addr-perl \ liberror-perl libexception-class-perl uml-utilities libxml-libxml-perl \ libxml2-dev libgnutls-dev libdevmapper-dev libterm-readline-perl-perl libnet-telnet-perl

If you use 64 bits version of Ubuntu, install 32 bits compatibility libraries: apt-get install ia32-libs

Install libvirt 0.7.5: /etc/init.d/libvirt-bin stop wget http://libvirt.org/sources/libvirt-0.7.5.tar.gz tar xfvz libvirt-0.7.5.tar.gz  cd libvirt-0.7.5 ./configure --without-xen --prefix=/usr && make && make install /etc/init.d/libvirt-bin start

NOTE: By now, libvirt 0.7.5 is the only version of libvirt known to work with VNX.

NOTE2: libvirt 0.7.5 is available as a package in Ubuntu 10.04. However it has some problems related with the Apparmor profiles configured for libvirt. If you disable Apparmor (with "/etc/init.d/apparmor stop"), VNX will work with libvirt 0.7.5 installed as package, however we recommend to download and compile it as described above, in order to maintain Apparmor in your system. Install Sys::Virt perl module:  For Ubuntu 10.04, just install the libsys-virt-perl package apt-get install libsys-virt-perl

For Ubuntu 9.10, as Sys::Virt library is not available as a package, install it manually: wget http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/D/DA/DANBERR/Sys-Virt-0.2.3.tar.gz tar xfvz Sys-Virt-0.2.3.tar.gz cd Sys-Virt-0.2.3 perl Makefile.PL make install 

Install VNX:</li> wget -N http://www.dit.upm.es/vnx/download/vnx-0.14b.tgz tar xfvz vnx-0.14b.tgz cd vnx-0.14b ./install_vnx

Download root file systems from http://idefix.dit.upm.es/download/vnx/filesystems and copy them to /usr/share/vnx/filesystems directory:</li> cd /usr/share/vnx/filesystems wget -N http://idefix.dit.upm.es/download/vnx/filesystems/root_fs_ubuntu-10.04-v01.qcow2.bz2 bunzip2 root_fs_ubuntu-10.04-v01.qcow2.bz2 ln -s root_fs_ubuntu-10.04-v01.qcow2 root_fs_ubuntu wget -N http://idefix.dit.upm.es/download/vnx/filesystems/root_fs_ubuntu-10.04-gui-v01.qcow2.bz2 bunzip2 root_fs_ubuntu-10.04-gui-v01.qcow2.bz2 ln -s root_fs_ubuntu-10.04-gui-v01.qcow2 root_fs_ubuntu-gui wget -N http://idefix.dit.upm.es/download/vnx/filesystems/root_fs_freebsd-v01.qcow2.bz2 bunzip2 root_fs_freebsd-v01.qcow2.bz2 ln -s root_fs_freebsd-v01.qcow2 root_fs_freebsd wget -N http://idefix.dit.upm.es/download/vnx/filesystems/root_fs_freebsd-gui-v01.qcow2.bz2 bunzip2 root_fs_freebsd-gui-v01.qcow2.bz2 ln -s root_fs_freebsd-gui-v01.qcow2 root_fs_freebsd-gui
 * 1) ubuntu server
 * 1) ubuntu with gui
 * 1) freebsd server
 * 1) freebsd gui

 * 2) Sorry! Unfortunately for legal reasons we cannot distribute windows XP
 * 3) or Windows 7 root filesystems. See VNX documentation for detailed recipes
 * 4) to create these root fylesystems from scratch

Additionally, if you plan to use VNUML root filesystem:</li> cd /usr/share/vnx/filesystem wget -N http://idefix.dit.upm.es/download/vnx/filesystems/root_fs_tutorial-0.6.0.bz2 bunzip2 root_fs_tutorial-0.6.0.bz2 ln -s root_fs_tutorial-0.6.0 root_fs_tutorial cd /usr/share/vnx/kernels wget -N http://jungla.dit.upm.es/~vnx/download/kernels/linux-2.6.18.1-bb2-xt-4m ln -s linux-2.6.18.1-bb2-xt-4m linux
 * 1) VNUML root_fs_tutorial and kernel

NOTE for Ubuntu 10.04.1: It seems that an additional package has to be installed: apt-get install kvm-pxe
