How to create a KVM VyOS root filesystem for VNX

Basic installation

[VyOS] is an open source network operating system that is based on Debian GNU/Linux and that joins multiple applications such as Quagga, ISC DHCPD, OpenVPN, StrongS/WAN and others under a single management interface. It can be installed on physical hardware or on virtual machines and it is a community fork of [Vyatta].

Follow this procedure as a root user to create a VyOS based KVM root filesystem for VNX. The procedure has been tested with VyOS 1.1.7 over a Ubuntu 16.04 system.

• Create the filesystem disk image:

qemu-img create -f qcow2 vnx_rootfs_kvm_vyos64-1.1.7-v025.qcow2 8G

• Get VyOS installation CD:

wget http://packages.vyos.net/iso/release/1.1.7/vyos-1.1.7-amd64.iso
cp vyos-1.1.7-amd64.iso /almacen/iso

• Create the virtual machine with:

vnx --create-rootfs vnx_rootfs_kvm_vyos64-1.1.7-v025.qcow2 --install-media /almacen/iso/vyos-1.1.7-amd64.iso --mem 512M --arch x86_64

• Login with vyos/vyos and execute:

install image
