Description:
xen-tools project is a collection of scripts which allow you
to manipulate virtual images for the Xen virtualization
software.
With the tools installed, you may create new instances of
Debian, complete with networking, OpenSSH, and user accounts, with
one simple command. Images may also be easily updated, listed, or
deleted.
Here are some key features of "xen
tools":
· Create new Xen instances of Debian Sarge, in minutes.
(xen-create-image)
· Duplicate an existing image, whilst updating the
networking information. (xen-duplicate-image)
· List all existing images with their networking details
(xen-list-images)
· Delete previously created instances.
(xen-delete-image)
· Update the images you've created with apt-get,
without booting them. (xen-update-image)
Creating A New Image:
The script will contains a full manual written using the perl
documentation system, perldoc, which you can read by executing:
xen-create-image --manual
This manual describes the operation of the script, and the
supported options. (Each of the available options may be setup in a
configuration file for ease of use.)
As a very simple example the following command willcreate an
image using DHCP to obtain its networking information. The primary
disk will 2Gb with 128Mb memory and swap:
xen-create-image --hostname='vm01' --dir=/home/xen
--size=2Gb --swap=128Mb --memory=128Mb --dhcp
If you wish to give the instance a static IP address then
provide the information with the following flags:
--ip
The IP address to give the instance.
--gateway
The IP address of the gateway machine.
--broadcast
The broadcast address to use.
--network
The network the image is upon.
--netmask
The netmask to use.
What's New in This Release:
· This release fixes a couple of minor bugs with the
handling of failure cases, and support for new distributions.
· Included within this release is a new tool for
resizing existing guests easily.
