Vnx-tutorial-dynamips
VNX Tutorial Ubuntu
(Work in progress....)
Contents
[hide]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 4 Ubuntu virtual machines (h1, h2, h3 and h4) and 2 dynamips virtual routers (r1 and r2) connected through three virtual networks. The host participates in the scenario having a network interface in Net3. All hosts use an Ubuntu server root filesystem.
Starting the scenario
Start the scenario with:
cd /usr/share/vnx/examples/ sudo vnx -f tutorial_ubuntu-dynamips.xml -v --create
You will see the six virtual machine textual consoles opening.
If you close a host or router console, you can reopen it with:
sudo vnx -f tutorial_ubuntu-dynamips.xml -v --console con1 -M <vmname>
being <vmname> the name of the virtual machine.
You can also open the consoles manually with the commands shown at the end of vnx execution:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scenario "tutorial-r1_all" started
VM_NAME | TYPE | CONSOLE ACCESS COMMAND
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
h1 | libvirt-kvm-linux | con0: 'virt-viewer -c qemu:///system h1' or 'vncviewer :0'
| | con1: 'virsh -c qemu:///system console h1' or 'screen /dev/pts/4'
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
h2 | libvirt-kvm-linux | con0: 'virt-viewer -c qemu:///system h2' or 'vncviewer :1'
| | con1: 'virsh -c qemu:///system console h2' or 'screen /dev/pts/6'
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
r1 | dynamips-3600 | con1: 'telnet localhost 12000'
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
r2 | dynamips-3600 | con1: 'telnet localhost 12002'
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
h3 | libvirt-kvm-linux | con0: 'virt-viewer -c qemu:///system h3' or 'vncviewer :2'
| | con1: 'virsh -c qemu:///system console h3' or 'screen /dev/pts/10'
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
h4 | libvirt-kvm-linux | con0: 'virt-viewer -c qemu:///system h4' or 'vncviewer :3'
| | con1: 'virsh -c qemu:///system console h4' or 'screen /dev/pts/12'
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can show the previous table at any time with:
sudo vnx -f tutorial_ubuntu-dynamips.xml -v --console-info
See VNX Console Management for more details.
Executing commands
Stopping the scenario
To stop the scenario preserving the changes made inside virtual machines you have to use the "-d" or "--shutdown" option:
sudo vnx -f simple_ubuntu-gui.xml -v --shutdown
You can later restart the scenario with:
sudo vnx -f simple_ubuntu-gui.xml -v --create
To stop the scenario discarding all the changes made in the virtual machine use the "-P" or "--destroy" option:
sudo vnx -f simple_ubuntu-gui.xml -v --destroy
Other interesting options
You can restart the virtual machines individually with:
sudo vnx -f tutorial_ubuntu-dynamips.xml -v --shutdown -M h1 sudo vnx -f tutorial_ubuntu-dynamips.xml -v --create -M h1
You can suspend and restore a virtual machine with:
sudo vnx -f simple_ubuntu-gui.xml -v --suspend -M h1 sudo vnx -f simple_ubuntu-gui.xml -v --resume -M h1
You can see a graphical map of the virtual scenario using the --show-map option:
sudo vnx -f tutorial_ubuntu-dynamips.xml -v --show-map

Name: tutorial_ubuntu
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.
