Create and configure the VM

This guide will help you set up the preconfigured VM referenced at devcloud-kvm. It's much easier to use the preconfigured image but this guide may help you if you wish to use a different development enviroment.

1. {toggle-cloak:id=VM Definition XML}

   Create the VM XML (click to show):

   {toggle-cloak:id=VM Definition XML}

   {cloak:id=VM Definition XML} cat > devcloud-kvm.xml << EOL <domain type='kvm'> <name>devcloud-kvm</name> <memory>8388608</memory> <currentMemory>8388608</currentMemory> <vcpu>4</vcpu> <os> <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-1.0'>hvm</type> <boot dev='hd'/> <bootmenu enable='yes'/> </os> <features> <acpi/> <apic/> <pae/> </features> <cpu match='exact'> <model>Westmere</model> <vendor>Intel</vendor> <feature policy='require' name='vmx'/> </cpu> <clock offset='utc'/> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>restart</on_crash> <devices> <emulator>/usr/bin/kvm</emulator> <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='qcow2'/> <source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/devcloud-kvm.qcow2'/> <target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' function='0x0'/> </disk> <disk type='block' device='cdrom'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <target dev='hdc' bus='ide'/> <readonly/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='1' unit='0'/> </disk> <controller type='usb' index='0'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x01' function='0x2'/> </controller> <controller type='ide' index='0'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x01' function='0x1'/> </controller> <interface type='network'> <mac address='52:54:00:4e:ff:4f'/> <source network='default'/> <model type='virtio'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </interface> <interface type='network'> <mac address='52:54:00:52:b1:5e'/> <source network='private1'/> <model type='virtio'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x0'/> </interface> <serial type='pty'> <target port='0'/> </serial> <console type='pty'> <target type='serial' port='0'/> </console> <input type='tablet' bus='usb'/> <input type='mouse' bus='ps2'/> <graphics type='vnc' port='-1' autoport='yes'/> <video> <model type='cirrus' vram='9216' heads='1'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/> </video> <memballoon model='virtio'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x06' function='0x0'/> </memballoon> </devices> </domain> EOL {cloak}

2. Define VM with xml as created above virsh define devcloud-kvm.xml
3. Create hard disk that XML points to: qemu-img create -f qcow2 /var/lib/libvirt/images/devcloud-kvm.qcow2 60G

4. {toggle-cloak:id=NetXML}

   Create the network xml(click to show):

   {toggle-cloak:id=NetXML}

   {cloak:id=NetXML} cat > devcloud-kvm-net.xml << EOL <network> <name>private1</name> <uuid>f49f9a26-6c7a-ece4-9d4d-d2e295e6fb80</uuid> <bridge name='virbr1' stp='off' delay='0' /> <mac address='52:54:00:8D:BA:A5'/> </network> EOL {cloak}

5. Create/edit networks required: virsh net-destroy default virsh net-edit default (change ip address range for dhcp so that we have some to manually assign) virsh net-start default virsh net-define devcloud-kvm-net.xml virsh net-autostart private1 virsh net-start private1
6. Start the vm, attach to vnc virsh start kvm-cloudstack virsh vncdisplay kvm-cloudstack
   • launch your favorite vnc viewer and connect to the localhost port returned by the previous command
7. Attach CentOS installation iso virsh attach-disk kvm-cloudstack ~/Downloads/CentOS-6.3-x86_64-minimal.iso hdc --type cdrom

   Once you attach the disk the VM should reboot on its own. But you may need to reboot it manually.

8. Install minimal CentOS Use 1 partition of 30G for /, and leave another 30G partition blank for a volume group

Configure the guest network

1. Set eth0 to use br0 (/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0) BOOTPROTO=none ONBOOT=yes BRIDGE=cloudbr0 DEVICE=eth0
2. Set eth1 to use br1 (/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1) BOOTPROTO=none ONBOOT=yes BRIDGE=cloudbr1 DEVICE=eth1
3. Set br0 to use IP (/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br0) DEVICE="cloudbr0" BOOTPROTO="static" GATEWAY="172.17.10.1" IPADDR="172.17.10.10" NETMASK="255.255.255.0" ONBOOT="yes" TYPE="Bridge"
4. Set br1 to use IP (/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br1) DEVICE="cloudbr1" BOOTPROTO="static" ONBOOT="yes" IPADDR="192.168.100.10" NETMASK="255.255.255.0" TYPE="Bridge"
5. Configure networking # Edit /etc/hosts and create an entry for "192.168.100.10 devcloud-kvm" -- we want to treat the internal/management interface as the main IP for this host set a nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf disable selinux in /etc/sysconfig/selinux
6. reboot then ssh into the server (optional) yum update yum install git java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel java-1.6.0 rpm-build mysql-connector-java mysql mysql-server ant* jsvc ipmitool jakarta-commons-lang jna dnsmasq wget tomcat6 ws-commons-utils gcc glibc-devel MySQL-python mkisofs java-1.7.0-openjdk-devel java-1.7.0-openjdk kvm libvirt libvirtd ebtables vconfig python-paramiko sudo python-setuptools chkconfig mysqld on chkconfig dnsmasq on chkconfig nfs on chkconfig rpcbind on mkdir -m 777 -p /nfs/primary mkdir -m 777 /nfs/secondary echo '/nfs/primary *(rw,insecure,async,no_root_squash)' > /etc/exports echo '/nfs/secondary *(rw,insecure,async,no_root_squash)' >> /etc/exports
7. Edit /etc/sysconfig/nfs and add the following: LOCKD_TCPPORT=32803 LOCKD_UDPPORT=32769 MOUNTD_PORT=892 RQUOTAD_PORT=875 STATD_PORT=662 STATD_OUTGOING_PORT=2020
8. Add services to iptables, just after the port 22 rule (/etc/sysconfig/iptables): -A INPUT -i eth1 -m state --state NEW -p udp --dport 53 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -i eth1 -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 53 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -i eth1 -m state --state NEW -p udp --dport 111 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -i eth1 -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 111 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -i eth1 -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 2049 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -i eth1 -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 32803 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -i eth1 -m state --state NEW -p udp --dport 32769 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -i eth1 -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 892 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -i eth1 -m state --state NEW -p udp --dport 892 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -i eth1 -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 875 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -i eth1 -m state --state NEW -p udp --dport 875 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -i eth1 -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 662 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -i eth1 -m state --state NEW -p udp --dport 662 -j ACCEPT

Install Maven

Reboot to apply yum updates/start services
