VNX Tutorial Ubuntu

Description

VNX includes several example scenarios based on the 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.

Mas cosas

sudo vnx -f simple_ubuntu-gui.xml -v --suspend -M ubuntu-gui
sudo vnx -f simple_ubuntu-gui.xml -v --resume -M ubuntu-gui

To start the web servers in h3 and h4:

sudo vnx -f tutorial_ubuntu.xml -v -x start-www

To start a firefox navigator and load main page of h3 web server:

sudo vnx -f tutorial_ubuntu.xml -v -x www-h3

tutorial_root1-XXXX.xml, which are virtual scenarios based on the VNUML tutorial scenario but starting virtual machines using other operating systems.

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
