VNX Installation over Fedora

Follow this steps to install VNX over Fedora 23:

• Install packages:

 
dnf install -y qemu-kvm libvirt virt-manager virt-viewer perl-XML-LibXML
dnf install -y perl-Sys-Virt perl-NetAddr-IP perl-XML-LibXML perl-XML-Tidy 
dnf install -y perl-AppConfig perl-Readonly perl-Net-Pcap perl-Net-IPv6Addr
dnf install -y perl-Net-Telnet perl-IO-Pty-Easy  perl-Exception-Class pv
dnf install -y wmctrl uml_utilities perl-DBI libxml2-devel perl-Net-IP 
dnf install -y roxterm xterm graphviz tree curl w3m  picocom expect pv
dnf install -y tunctl screen wget lxc lxc-extra lxc-templates

• Tune libvirt configuration to work with VNX. In particular, edit /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf file and set the following parameters:

security_driver = "none"
user = "root"
group = "root"
cgroup_device_acl = [
   "/dev/null", "/dev/full", "/dev/zero",
   "/dev/random", "/dev/urandom",
   "/dev/ptmx", "/dev/kvm", "/dev/kqemu",
   "/dev/rtc", "/dev/hpet", "/dev/vfio/vfio", "/dev/net/tun"
]

(you have to add "/dev/net/tun") and restart libvirtd for the changes to take effect:

sudo systemctl restart libvirt-bin

• Install VNX:

mkdir /tmp/vnx-update
cd /tmp/vnx-update
wget -N http://vnx.dit.upm.es/vnx/vnx-latest.tgz
tar xfvz vnx-latest.tgz
cd vnx-*
./install_vnx

• Create the VNX config file (/etc/vnx.conf). You just can move the sample config file:

mv /usr/share/vnx/etc/vnx.conf.sample /etc/vnx.conf
