Vnx-install-root fs
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".
Naming convention
Root filesystems names follow this format:
vnx_rootfs_<virtplatform>_<osname>-<osversion>-[gui-]<rootfsversion>.<ext>
being:
- <virtplatform>: the virtualization platform the root filesystem was created for (kvm, uml, etc).
- <osname>: the name of the operating system (or distribution in the case of Linux). Ej: ubuntu, freebsd, win7, etc.
- <osversion>: the version of the OS.
- gui: included if the root filesystem has a graphical user interface
- <rootfsversion>: the version of the rootfs itself.
- <ext>: the extension of the image. For example: qcow2.
Example:
- vnx_rootfs_kvm-ubuntu-11.04-v021.qcow2 is a VNX root filesystem created with KVM, with an Ubuntu 11.04 without gui installed. The version of the rootfs is v021 and the format is qcow2.
Downloading instructions
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):

- For legal reasons we cannot distribute any of these root filesystems. See VNX documentation for detailed recipes to create or use these type of root fylesystems.
Additionally, if you plan to use the old UML root filesystems used in VNUML:
