VNX Installation over Ubuntu
This section describes the procedure for manually installing VNX over Ubuntu 11.04, 10.10, 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 \ libnet-ip-perl libreadonly-perl libmath-round-perl libappconfig-perl \ libdbi-perl graphviz libnl-dev genisoimage gnome-terminal \ libfile-homedir-perl python-dev libsasl2-dev tree libio-pty-perl curl w3m picocom expect
apt-get install ia32-libs
apt-get install kvm-pxe
/etc/init.d/libvirt-bin stop wget http://libvirt.org/sources/libvirt-0.9.3.tar.gz tar xfvz libvirt-0.9.3.tar.gz cd libvirt-0.9.3 ./configure --without-xen --prefix=/usr && make && make install /etc/init.d/libvirt-bin start
NOTE: VNX is known to (basically) work with other libvirt versions like 0.8.5 and 0.8.8. However, as some problems have been detected with that versions and our present development and testing platform uses libvirt 0.9.3, we strongly recommend to use that version.
- For Ubuntu 11.04/10.10/10.04, just install the libsys-virt-perl package
apt-get install libsys-virt-perl
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
mkdir /tmp/vnx-update cd /tmp/vnx-update rm -rf /tmp/vnx-update/vnx-* wget http://vnx.dit.upm.es/vnx/vnx-latest.tgz tar xfvz vnx-latest.tgz cd vnx-* ./install_vnx
mv /usr/share/vnx/etc/vnx.conf.sample /etc/vnx.conf
Additional install steps for Dynamips support
- Install Dynamips and Dynagen:
apt-get install dynamips dynagen
- Create a file /etc/init.d/dynamips (taken from http://7200emu.hacki.at/viewtopic.php?t=2198):
#!/bin/sh # Start/stop the dynamips program as a daemon. # ### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provides: dynamips # Default-Start: 2 3 4 5 # Default-Stop: 0 1 6 # Short-Description: Cisco hardware emulator daemon ### END INIT INFO DAEMON=/usr/bin/dynamips NAME=dynamips PORT=7200 PIDFILE=/var/run/$NAME.pid LOGFILE=/var/log/$NAME.log DESC="Cisco Emulator" SCRIPTNAME=/etc/init.d/$NAME test -f $DAEMON || exit 0 . /lib/lsb/init-functions case "$1" in start) log_daemon_msg "Starting $DESC " "$NAME" start-stop-daemon --start --chdir /tmp --background --make-pidfile --pidfile $PIDFILE --name $NAME --startas $DAEMON -- -H $PORT -l $LOGFILE log_end_msg $? ;; stop) log_daemon_msg "Stopping $DESC " "$NAME" start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --pidfile $PIDFILE --name $NAME log_end_msg $? ;; restart) log_daemon_msg "Restarting $DESC " "$NAME" start-stop-daemon --stop --retry 5 --quiet --pidfile $PIDFILE --name $NAME start-stop-daemon --start --chdir /tmp --background --make-pidfile --pidfile $PIDFILE --name $NAME --startas $DAEMON -- -H $PORT -l $LOGFILE log_end_msg $? ;; status) status_of_proc -p $PIDFILE $DAEMON $NAME && exit 0 || exit $? #status $NAME #RETVAL=$? ;; *) log_action_msg "Usage: $SCRIPTNAME {start|stop|restart|status}" exit 2 ;; esac exit 0
- Set execution permissions for the script and add it to system start-up:
chmod +x /etc/init.d/dynamips update-rc.d dynamips defaults /etc/init.d/dynamips start
- Download and install cisco IOS image:
cd /usr/share/vnx/filesystems # Cisco image wget ... c3640-js-mz.124-19.image ln -s c3640-js-mz.124-19.image c3640
- Calculate the idle-pc value for your computer following the procedure in http://dynagen.org/tutorial.htm:
dynagen /usr/share/vnx/examples/R.net console R # type 'no' to exit the config wizard and wait # for the router to completely start idle-pc get R
Once you know the idle-pc value for your system, include it in /etc/vnx.conf file.
