== Installation over Ubuntu 10.04/9.10 ==
 
 
 
This section describes the procedure for installing VNX over Ubuntu 10.04 or 9.10. Open a root shell window and follow these steps:
 
<ul>
 
 
 
<li>Install all packages required (basic development, virtualization, perl libraries and auxiliar packages):</li>
 
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
 
 
 
<!--Note: for Ubuntu 9.04 change "qemu-kvm" package by "qemu kvm" -->
 
<li>If you use 64 bits version of Ubuntu, install 32 bits compatibility libraries:</li>
 
  apt-get install ia32-libs
 
 
 
<li>Install libvirt 0.9.3:</li>
 
  /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 should work with libvirt versions from 0.7.5 to 0.8.5 (it has been mainly tested with 0.7.5 and 0.8.5). Note that, although libvirt 0.7.5 is available as a package in Ubuntu 10.04, it has some problems related with the Apparmor profiles configured for libvirt. If you disable Apparmor (with "/etc/init.d/apparmor stop"), VNX will work with libvirt 0.7.5 installed as package, however we recommend to download and compile version 0.8.5 as described above, in order to maintain Apparmor in your system.
 
 
<li>Install Sys::Virt perl module:</li>
 
<ul>
 
<li>For Ubuntu 10.04, just install the libsys-virt-perl package</li>
 
apt-get install libsys-virt-perl
 
<!--
 
'''IMPORTANT NOTE''': Windows XP virtual machines started with VNX over Ubuntu 9.10 frequently hang when executing commands or with high traffic loads. The problem could be related with virtual network drivers. We are investigating the problem to find a solution. By now, Ubuntu 10.04 is the recomended platform to test VNX.
 
-->
 
<li>For Ubuntu 9.10, as Sys::Virt library is not available as a package, install it manually:</li>
 
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

'''NOTE for Ubuntu 10.04.1''': It seems that an additional package has to be installed:
 
apt-get install kvm-pxe
 
 
 
 
 
=== 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):
 
<pre>
 
#!/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

SCRIPTNAME=/etc/init.d/$NAME
 
 
 
test -f $DAEMON || exit 0
 
 
 
. /lib/lsb/init-functions

        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

        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
 
 
 
</pre>
 
 
 
* 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.
 
 
 
=== Additional install steps for Olive support ===
 
 
 
Several additional steps are needed to support Olive (Juniper) routers in VNX scenarios:
 
  
 
<ul>
 
<ul>

<li>Modern Linux distribution (Ubuntu 14.04 or newer recommended)</li>
<!-- Ya no hace falta desde que se usa <qemu:commandline>
+
<li>Processor with '''virtualization support''' (only needed if you use KVM virtual machines; not needed if you only use User-Mode-Linux or dynamips). You can check whether your processor has support for virtualization extensions using:</li>
 
 
<li>Install a patched version of libvirt 0.8.5 with support to define the bios used by a virtual machine:</li>
 
 
 
 
<ul>
 
<ul>
<li>Copy the following content to a file named libvirt-0.8.5-biosfile.patch (based on http://www.mail-archive.com/libvir-list@redhat.com/msg15952.html):</li>
+
<li>'''kvm-ok''' command if available in your system:</li>
<pre>

</pre>
 
 
 
<li>Install libvirt 0.8.5 with that patch applied:</li>
 
service libvirt-bin stop
 
wget http://libvirt.org/sources/libvirt-0.8.5.tar.gz
 
tar xfvz libvirt-0.8.5.tar.gz
 
cd libvirt-0.8.5

./configure --without-xen --prefix=/usr && make && make install
 
service libvirt-bin start
 
  
 +
'''IMPORTANT''': Be aware that virtualization extensions are controled from the BIOS. Even if you see the vmx/svm flag you will have to access your BIOS setup and check that virtualization support is enabled. If you get the following error message:
 +
FATAL: Error inserting kvm_intel (...): Operation not supported
 +
it probably means that virtualization support is disabled in your BIOS setup.

=== Additional install steps for Dynamips support ===
 
 
 
* Install Dynamips and Dynagen:
 
yum -y install libpcap
 
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/dyna-gen/dynamips%20Linux%20RPM/0.2.8-RC2/dynamips-0.2.8RC2-1.i386.rpm
 
rpm --nodeps -i dynamips-0.2.8RC2-1.i386.rpm
 
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/dyna-gen/dynagen%20source%20_%20Linux/dynagen%200.11.0/dynagen-0.11.0-1.fc9.noarch.rpm
 
rpm -i dynagen-0.11.0-1.fc9.noarch.rpm
 
 
 
* Add dynamips to system start-up and start it manually for this time:
 
chkconfig --add dynamips
 
/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.
 
 
 
=== Additional install steps for Olive support ===
 
 
 
One additional step is needed to support Olive (Juniper) routers in VNX scenarios:
 
 
 
<ul>
 
 
 
<li>Download old qemu bios from 0.10.6 version and copy it to /usr/share/qemu directory:</li>
 
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/kvm/qemu-kvm/0.10.6/qemu-kvm-0.10.6.tar.gz
 
tar xfvz qemu-kvm-0.10.6.tar.gz
 
cp qemu-kvm-0.10.6/pc-bios/bios.bin /usr/share/qemu/bios-0.10.6.bin
 
 
 
</ul>
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
<!-- COSAS ANTIGUAS -->
 
 
 
<!--li>Modificar vnumlparser.pl, sustituyendo en la función mode_t la línea en ):</li>
 
  !$execution->execute ($bd->get_binaries_path_ref->{"modprobe"} . " tun") or $execution->smartdie ("module tun can not be initialized: $!");
 
 
 
por:
 
 
 
  if (! -e "/dev/net/tun") {
 
      !$execution->execute ($bd->get_binaries_path_ref->{"modprobe"} . " tun") or $execution->smartdie ("module tun can not be initialized: $!");
 
  }
 
 
 
Explicación: el módulo tun se ha integrado en el kernel a partir de la 10.04, por lo que no es necesario cargarlo como hasta ahora mediante "modprobe tun". El cambio anterior simplemente comprueba si existe el dispositivo /dev/net/tun y carga el modulo en caso de que no exista.

VNX Installation Guides

Requirements

  • Modern Linux distribution (Ubuntu 14.04 or newer recommended)
  • Processor with virtualization support (only needed if you use KVM virtual machines; not needed if you only use User-Mode-Linux or dynamips). You can check whether your processor has support for virtualization extensions using:
    • kvm-ok command if available in your system:
    • # kvm-ok
      INFO: Your CPU supports KVM extensions
      INFO: /dev/kvm exists
      KVM acceleration can be used
      
    • Manually, executing the following command:
    • egrep '(vmx|svm)' --color=always /proc/cpuinfo
      

      If you see the word vmx (for Intel processors) or svm (for AMD processors) in red, your processor has virtualization support.

      IMPORTANT: Be aware that virtualization extensions are controled from the BIOS. Even if you see the vmx/svm flag you will have to access your BIOS setup and check that virtualization support is enabled. If you get the following error message:

      FATAL: Error inserting kvm_intel (...): Operation not supported
      

      it probably means that virtualization support is disabled in your BIOS setup.

  • 2 Gb of Memory
  • 10 Gb of disk (depends mainly on the number of root-file-systems used)
