h2. Installation VM sans bridge avec routage static (en /32 pour l'ipv4)

Note: tous les fichiers utilisés et créés ne sont peut être pas à jour, voir ici pour les dernières version: http://git.tetaneutral.net/libvirt.git/

Le répertoire /etc/libvirt/ttnn cité plustard est géré dans ce git.

h3. Configuration de la libvirt

On créé un réseau libvirt qui fait rien (déjà fait sur n7):

<pre>

cat > libvirt_dump_network.xml <<EOF

<network ipv6='yes'>

<name>dump-net</name>

<bridge name='dumpbr0' />

</network>

EOF

virsh net-define libvirt_dump_network.xml

virsh net-autostart dump-net

virsh net-start dump-net

</pre>

On créé un hook libvirt (déjà fait sur n7):

<pre>

mkdir -p /etc/libvirt/ttnn/hooks

ln -s /etc/libvirt/ttnn/hooks /etc/libvirt/hooks

vi /etc/libvirt/hooks/qemu

----8<--------------->8----

#!/bin/bash

name="$1"

operation="$2"

suboperation="$3"

[ "$operation" != "start" ] && exit 0

[ "$suboperation" != "begin" ] && exit 0

# get interface from the libvirt xml

interface=$(cat - | sed -ne "/vnet/s/.*dev='\([^']*\)'.*/\1/gp")

[ -f /etc/libvirt/ttnn/${name}.conf ] && source /etc/libvirt/ttnn/${name}.conf

[ "$ip" -o "$ip6" ] && brctl delif dumpbr0 $interface

[ "$ip" ] && ip route add $ip/32 dev $interface

[ "$ip6" ] && ip route add $ip6/56 dev $interface

[ "$ip6" ] && ip -6 addr add fe80::31/64 dev $interface

exit 0

----8<--------------->8----

</pre>

h3. Preparation de l'installer

Pour une squeeze on met à jour virtinst  (déjà fait sur n7):

<pre>

wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/v/virtinst/virtinst_0.600.3-3_all.deb

dpkg -i virtinst_0.600.3-3_all.deb

</pre>

On install le preseed.cfg attaché à la page dans /etc/libvirt/preseed.cfg  (déjà fait sur n7)

h4. Installation d'une VM

Creation du disk (déjà fait sur n7):

<pre>

lvcreate -n picttn -L 50G /dev/raid5

</pre>

Configuration du routage static:

<pre>

vi /etc/libvirt/ttnn/picttn.conf 

# le /32 ipv4

ip="91.224.148.252"

# le /56 ipv6

ip6="2a01:6600:8080:FC00::"

</pre>

Lancement de l'installation via le réseau natter de libvirt

<pre>

virt-install -n picttn -r 2048 --os-type=linux \

    --autostart \

    --disk /dev/raid5/picttn,bus=virtio,cache=none,io=native \

    --network network=default,model=virtio \

    --nographics \

    --noreboot \

    --wait -1 \

    --location http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/wheezy/main/installer-amd64/ \

    --serial pty \

    --initrd-inject /etc/libvirt/ttnn/preseed.cfg \

    --initrd-inject /etc/libvirt/ttnn/picttn.conf \

    --initrd-inject /etc/libvirt/ttnn/postinstall.sh \

    --extra-args "console=ttyS0,9600n8 DEBIAN_FRONTEND=text auto priority=critical hostname=picttn domain=le-pic.org"

</pre>

Une fois l'installation terminée, on change la conf réseau:

<pre>

EDITOR="sed -ie s/default/dump-net/g" virsh edit picttn

</pre>

On peux démarrer la VM

<pre>

virsh start picttn

virsh console picttn

</pre>

Ensuite on peux se connecte à la VM

<pre>

ssh root@2a01:6600:8080:FC00::1

</pre>

Le /etc/network/interfaces IPv4 après installation

<pre>

iface eth0 inet static

    address 91.224.148.xxx

    netmask 32

    up ip route add 91.224.148.0/32 dev eth0

    up ip route add default via 91.224.148.0

iface eth0 inet6 static

    address 2a01:6600:8080:xx00::1

    netmask 56

    gateway fe80::31

    pre-up /sbin/sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.eth0.accept_ra=0

    pre-up /sbin/sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.eth0.autoconf=0

</pre>

h2. Misc

<H4Mm3r> si tu lance la création de la VM sans avoir créé le disk --disk /vmroot/testnat.qcow2,format=qcow2,size=12,bus=virtio,cache=writeback

<H4Mm3r> le disk se créé mais dans le XML le format est à RAW

<H4Mm3r> si tu le créé à l'avance avec qemu-img create -f qcow2

<H4Mm3r> et que tu lance ta commande --disk /vmroot/testnat.qcow2,format=qcow2

<guerby> ok donc c'etait bien ça :)

<guerby> bbl (miam)

<H4Mm3r> dans le fichier XML le format est à RAW

<H4Mm3r> il faut en effet dumper un XML, modifier la valeur à QCOW2

<H4Mm3r> et créer la VM depuis ce XML

<H4Mm3r> virsh create file.xml

<H4Mm3r> pourqu'enfin il comprenne que c'est du QCOW...

<H4Mm3r> et là mon disk fait bien 265ko, mais est détecté comme 12G :D

h3. HOWTO

<pre>

[H] = Host

[G] = Guest

[XML] = XML content

"command"

</pre>

#### Diskfile Storage

#Create qcow2 disk

<pre>

[H] "qemu-img create -f qcow2 /path/to/disk.qcow2 $SIZE" (ex: 20G)

[H] "chmod +x /path/to/disk.qcow2"

</pre>

#Convert raw to qcow2

<pre>

[H] "qemu-img convert -O qcow2 disk.img disk.qcow2"

</pre>

#Disable cache to improve performance 

<pre>

[XML] <driver name='qemu' type='qcow2' cache='none'/>

</pre>

#### LVM Storage

<pre>

[H] Create "/etc/libvirt/storage/vmdata.xml" file :

      <pool type="logical">

        <name>my_pool</name>

        <source>

          <device path="/path/to/dev"/>

        </source>

        <target>

          <path>/target/path/path> (LV will be created there)

        </target>

      </pool>

[H] "virsh pool-define /etc/libvirt/storage/my_pool.xml"

[H] "virsh pool-start my_pool"

[H] "virsh pool-autostart my_pool"

[H] "virsh pool-info my_pool"

[H] "virsh vol-create-as my_pool my_logical_volume 12G"

[H] You must create a LV to be able to give it to a KVM "virsh vol-create-as my_pool my_vol 12G --format=lvm2"

</pre>

h3. Create KVM

#Bridged with TAP + LVM
