Vnx-modify-rootfs
Updating or modifying a VNX root filesystem
In order to update or modify a VNX root filesystem (rootfs from now on), you have to:
- Using vnx with the following parameters (recommended):
vnx --modify_rootfs <rootfs_name>
being <rootfs_name> the rootfs filename.
virsh create rootfs_XXX.xml
and manually opening the console using:
virt-viewer <vmname>
being <vmname> the name assigned by libvirt to the virtual machine (you can get it with "virsh list" command or just looking for the <name> tag in root_fs_XXX.xml file).
Updating VNXACE daemon
If you have a rootfs with the autoconfiguration and command execution daemon (ACE) already installed, you can use the autoupdate functionality to update the daemon to a newer version. Just follow this procedure:
Linux and FreeBSD
- Start the virtual machine with the following command line options:
vnx --modify-rootfs <rootfs_name> --update-aced -y
being <rootfs_name> the rootfs filename. This command will try to update the VNXACE daemon to the latest version automatically (-y option).
- Mounting the update disk:
mount /dev/sdb /mnt # For Linux mount -t msdosfs /dev/ad1 /mnt # For FreeBSD
perl /mnt/vnxaced-lf/install_vnxaced
