/usr/sbin/mount -F nfs -o forcedirectio 217.30.123.101:/images/nfs /nfs
#
/usr/bin/mkdir -p /nfs/dumps
For performance reasons, the
forcedirectio
option is used to disable any
buffering in the client. The NFS share
/nfs
will contain the guest backup data.
The installation of a Solaris 10 HVM+PVIO guest uses an ISO image file as the
install source and the shared NFS resource
/nfs
as the guest image location.
The ISO image for this install
s10x86.iso
is located in the directory
/iso
.
1. Configure graphical access to HVM consoles for installs. This configuration
is needed for any server that will create HVM guests.
#
/usr/sbin/svccfg -s xvm/xend setprop config/vncpasswd = astring: newroot
#
/usr/sbin/svcadm refresh xvm/xend; /usr/sbin/svcadm restart xvm/xend
#
/usr/sbin/svccfg -s xvm/xend setprop config/vnc-listen = astring: 0.0.0.0
#
/usr/sbin/svcadm refresh xvm/xend; /usr/sbin/svcadm restart xvm/xend
The
newroot
string is used as the password for VNC guest console access.
Now that the VNC session used for the installation has been configured, it is
time to create and install the virtual machine. Perform the following steps on
only one server.
2. Issue the following commands:
#
/usr/bin/virt-install -n solaris10HVM --hvm -r 1024 -f \
/nfs/s10hvm.img -os-type=solaris -os-variant=solaris10 -s 10
--vnc
-l /iso/s10x86.iso
Options for the
virt-install
command include the following choices:
-n <value>
Name of the guest. This is not the guest operating system
host name.
-l <value>
Installation source for a guest, ISO location, or CD-ROM
path.
-r <value>
Memory to allocate for the guest instance (in megabytes).
-f <value>
Image file to use as the disk image location.
-s <value>
The size in gigabytes of the guest disk, in raw image format.
--vnc
VNC will be used for graphical access to the guest.
--hvm
The guest is fully virtualized.
The installation will start and a
vncviewer
session will be opened.
