VNX Installation over Ubuntu
This section describes the procedure for manually installing VNX over Ubuntu 12.04, 12.10 and 13.04.
Open a root shell window and follow these steps:
- Install all packages required (basic development, virtualization, perl libraries and auxiliar packages):
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install qemu-kvm libvirt-bin vlan xterm bridge-utils screen virt-manager \ virt-viewer uml-utilities graphviz genisoimage gnome-terminal tree \ curl w3m picocom expect lxc wmctrl \ libnetaddr-ip-perl libxml-libxml-perl libxml-tidy-perl libappconfig-perl \ libreadonly-perl libterm-readline-perl-perl libnet-pcap-perl libnet-ipv6addr-perl \ libsys-virt-perl libnet-telnet-perl liberror-perl libexception-class-perl \ libxml-dom-perl libdbi-perl libmath-round-perl libio-pty-perl libnet-ip-perl \ libxml-checker-perl libxml-parser-perl libfile-homedir-perl
security_driver = "none" user = "root" group = "root" cgroup_device_acl = [ "/dev/null", "/dev/full", "/dev/zero", "/dev/random", "/dev/urandom", "/dev/ptmx", "/dev/kvm", "/dev/kqemu", "/dev/rtc", "/dev/hpet", "/dev/net/tun", ]
and restart libvirtd for the changes to take effect:
restart libvirt-bin
virsh list virsh capabilities
Note: Have a look at this document in case you get an error similar to this one: virsh: /usr/lib/libvirt.so.0: version LIBVIRT_PRIVATE-XXX not found (required by virsh)
apt-get install zlib1g-dev libglib2.0-dev mkdir src cd src wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/kvm/qemu-kvm/1.0.1/qemu-kvm-1.0.1.tar.gz tar xfvz qemu-kvm-1.0.1.tar.gz cd qemu-kvm-1.0.1 ./configure --prefix=/usr make make install service libvirt-bin restart
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/R3640.net console R3640 # type 'no' to exit the config wizard and wait # for the router to completely start idlepc get R3640Once you know the idlepc value for your system, include it in /etc/vnx.conf file.
