Updating or modifying a VNX root filesystem
Modify root filesystem scenarios (root_fs_XXX.xml)
To modify a root filesystem, for example, installing new software packages, just start the associated libvirt scenario with:
virsh create root_fs_XXX.xml
And open the console using:
virt-viewer VMNAME
being VMNAME the name assigned 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).
To easy the process, you can use the vnx_modify_rootfs simple script that starts the virtual machine and opens the console:
/usr/share/vnx/bin/vnx_modify_rootfs root_fs_XXX.xml
