VNX latest features implemented
- 16/5/2016 - Support for virtio drivers in KVM implemented. A new option has been added to /etc/vnx.conf to activate the use of virtio drivers in KVM to improve performance. To use this new feature:
- Update VNX with vnx_update command
- Update the autoconfiguration daemon of your root filesystems with:
vnx --modify-rootfs your-rootfs.qcow2 --update-aced
[libvirt] ... virtio = yes
Note that in the case of FreeBSD images, you additionally need to edit the /etc/fstab to change the name of the devices /dev/ada0pX by /dev/vtbd0pX. For that reason, new rootfs images with a name extension "novirtio" have been added to be used with no virtio drivers.
vnx_download_rootfs -p lxc
vnx -f scenario.xml -x cmd1 -M vm1,vm2,host
will execute al, the <exec> tags defined in vm1, vm2 and the host.
<exec seq="createfiles" type="verbatim"> touch \ /tmp/file1 \ /tmp/file2 </exec>
