Downloading VNX root filesystems

You can download VNX preconfigured root filesystems from VNX repository at http://vnx.dit.upm.es/vnx/filesystems.

All root filesystems but Fedora and CentOS ones have a "root" and a "vnx" account with password "xxxx". Fedora and CentOS systems have password "xxxxxx".

Root filesystems names follow this format:

vnx_rootfs_<virtplatform>_<osname>-<osversion>-<rootfsversion>.qcow2

Use the following commands to download them and install (the creation of the symbolic link at the end is optional; create it if you want a rootfs to be the default filesystem to be used by the example scenarios):

Additionally, if you plan to use the old UML root filesystems used in VNUML:

# VNUML root_fs_tutorial and kernel
cd /usr/share/vnx/filesystems
wget -N http://vnx.dit.upm.es/download/vnx/filesystems/root_fs_tutorial-0.6.0.bz2
bunzip2 root_fs_tutorial-0.6.0.bz2
ln -s root_fs_tutorial-0.6.0 root_fs_tutorial
cd /usr/share/vnx/kernels
wget -N http://jungla.dit.upm.es/~vnx/download/kernels/linux-2.6.18.1-bb2-xt-4m
chmod +x linux-2.6.18.1-bb2-xt-4m
ln -s linux-2.6.18.1-bb2-xt-4m linux
