Buildbot Setup for Virtual Machines - Ubuntu 11.10 "oneiric"
Explains how to provision and configure virtual machine instances specifically for Buildbot testing.
Base Install
qemu-img create -f qcow2 /kvm/vms/vm-oneiric-amd64-serial.qcow2 8G
qemu-img create -f qcow2 /kvm/vms/vm-oneiric-i386-serial.qcow2 8G
# Start each VM booting from the server install iso one at a time and perform
# the following install steps:
kvm -m 1024 -hda /kvm/vms/vm-oneiric-amd64-serial.qcow2 -cdrom /kvm/iso/ubuntu-11.10-server-amd64.iso -redir tcp:2255::22 -boot d -smp 2 -cpu qemu64 -net nic,model=virtio -net user
kvm -m 1024 -hda /kvm/vms/vm-oneiric-i386-serial.qcow2 -cdrom /kvm/iso/ubuntu-11.10-server-i386.iso -redir tcp:2256::22 -boot d -smp 2 -cpu qemu32,-nx -net nic,model=virtio -net user
# Once running you can connect to the VNC server from your local host with:
#
# vncviewer -via ${remote-host} localhost
#
# (replace ${remote-host} with the host the vm is running on)
# Install, picking default options mostly, with the following notes:
# * Set the hostname to ubuntu-oneiric
# * When partitioning disks, choose "Guided - use entire disk" (we do not want LVM)
# * No automatic updates
# * Choose software to install: OpenSSH server
# Now that the VM is installed, it's time to configure it.
# If you have the memory you can do the following simultaneously:
kvm -m 1024 -hda /kvm/vms/vm-oneiric-amd64-serial.qcow2 -cdrom /kvm/iso/ubuntu-11.10-server-amd64.iso -redir tcp:2255::22 -boot c -smp 2 -cpu qemu64 -net nic,model=virtio -net user -nographic
