Valerio Pachera, if you have free time, please give me some suggestions about following questions. Thanks in advance ;-) We can get "Boot VMs from sheepdog volumes in Libvirt" way from https://github.com/collie/sheepdog/wiki/Libvirt like following. a, prepare a file containing an XML domain description $ cat > sheepdog.xml <domain type='qemu'> <name>testvm</name> <memory>1048576</memory> <os> <type arch='x86_64'>hvm</type> </os> <devices> <disk type='network'> <source protocol="sheepdog" name="testvdi"/> <target dev='hda' bus='ide'/> </disk> <graphics type='vnc' port='-1' autoport='yes'/> </devices> </domain> b, boot from testvdi with virsh $ virsh create sheepdog.xml c, connect to a VNC console of the running VM $ vncviewer localhost I have some following questions about up three steps. 1, Before a or b(up boot step) step, should we have to install our OS into 'testvdi'? That is to say, we have to install OS from os.iso file into 'testvdi', which should use 'qemu-system-x86_64' command to install OS, right? I am not clear about how to install a OS into testvdi (give exact steps if you can). 2, Before this test, shoud we have to build Sheepdog, QEMU, Libvirt environment? 3, This is the storage online management in Libvirt, right? 4, This test just test the codes Morita take a patch named "add network disk support" for Libvirt, which is located here: http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=commit;h=036ad5052b43fe9f0d197e89fd16715950408e1d and also test Sheepdog driver for QEMU, right? 5, If i installed a 32bits OS to testvdi, should i modify <os> <type arch='x86_64'>hvm</type> </os> to be <os> <type arch='x86'>hvm</type> </os> , right? 6, The step c (up boot step), which is $ vncviewer localhost Actually, i am not clear about this 'localhost'. Why should we link localhost but other ip addresses? -- Thanks Harry Wei |
