Updating or modifying a VNX root filesystem


  • rootfs_XXX.xml, which are libvirt specifications to start virtual machines with Internet connection (through a NAT) using the different VNX root file-systems. They are included to easily allow modifying root filesystems (for example, to install new software packages).
  • 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
