VNX Tutorial Ubuntu

Description

VNX includes several example scenarios based on the VNUML tutorial scenario but including all types of virtual machines supported by VNX. The scenario presented her is made of 6 Ubuntu virtual machines (4 hosts -h1, h2, h3 and h4- and 2 routers -r1 and r2-) connected through three virtual networks. The host participates in the scenario having a network interface in Net3. All systems but h1 use an Ubuntu server root filesystem; h1 uses an Ubuntu Desktop one to allow starting a web navigator.

Description: A simple tutorial scenario made of 6 Ubuntu virtual machines (4 hosts: h1, h2, h3 and h4; 
             and 2 routers: r1 and r2) connected through three virtual networks. The host participates 
             in the scenario having a network interface in Net3.

Tutorial scenarios (tutorial_root1_XXXX.xml)

• To start the tutorial scenario with linux, FreeBSD, XP and Win7 virtual machines just type:

sudo vnx -f tutorial_root1_all.xml -v --create

• Once the scenario has completely started (remenber that libvirt machines have to be restarted for the autoconfiguration to complete), you should see all the virtual machine consoles:



• You can test the network connectivity, for example, accesing h1 machine and tracing to h4: traceroute -n 10.0.2.3
• To stop and restart a virtual machine without loosing the modifications you have made you can type:: sudo vnx -f tutorial_root1_all.xml -v --shutdown -M uml4 sudo vnx -f tutorial_root1_all.xml -v --create -M uml4
• The same but loosing the changes made and returning to a fresh virtual machine state: sudo vnx -f tutorial_root1_all.xml -v --destroy -M uml4 sudo vnx -f tutorial_root1_all.xml -v --create -M uml4
