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 (see tutorial_*.xml files in /usr/share/vnx/examples directory).

The scenario presented here 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 to allow starting a web navigator.

Starting the scenario

Start the scenario with:

cd /usr/share/vnx/examples/
sudo vnx -f tutorial_ubuntu-gui.xml -v --create

You will see the six virtual machine consoles opening: a graphical one for h1, and textual consoles for the rest.

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
