XEN VM placement engine - OpenNEbula

1. Requirement

• Our OS is Debian lenny
  • Xen Installation

    $ sudo aptitude install xen-linux-system-2.6.26-1-xen-amd64 xen-tools
    

  • Package Installatiom

    $ sudo aptitude install ruby sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev libsqlite3-ruby libxmlrpc-c3 libxmlrpc-c3-dev scons g++ flex bison
    

    • Package information
      • ruby: An interpreter of object-oriented scripting language Ruby
      • sqlite3: A command line interface for SQLite 3
      • libxmlrpc-c3: A lightweight RPC library based on XML and HTTP for C and C++
      • scons: A replacement for Make
      • flex: A fast lexical analyzer generator
      • bison: A parser generator that is compatible with YACC

1. Install OpenNEbula

• We use 1.2 beta version ​OpenNEbula download

  $ tar zxvf one-1.1.80.tar.gz
  $ cd one-1.1.80
  $ scons
  $ ./install.sh /home/one
  

• Verifting the installation

  $ ls /home/one
  bin  etc  include  lib  libexec  share  var
  

2. Using OpenNEbula

• Setup Envoronment

  $ sudo vim /etc/profile
  export ONE_LOCATION=/home/one
  export ONE_XMLRPC=http://localhost:2633/RPC2
  export PATH=$ONE_LOCATION/bin:$PATH
  

• Statup OpenNEbula

  $ sudo one start
  

• Add Cluster

  $ onehost create one im_xen vmm_xen tm_ssh
  $ onehost list
   HID NAME                      RVM   TCPU   FCPU   ACPU    TMEM    FMEM STAT
     0 one                         0    400    400    400 6216704  130048   on
  

3. Massively Deployment of Cluster

• Refer to ​https://trac.nchc.org.tw/grid/wiki/jazz/DRBL_Xen

4. Using OpenNEbula to submit VM

• Create Image (We using xen-tools)

  $ sudo vim /etc/xen-tools
  $ sudo xen-create-image --hostname test1 --ip 140.110.X.X --acounts
  

• Configuration

  $ vim /home/images/domains/test1/test1.cfg
  NAME   = test1
  CPU    = 4
  MEMORY = 128
  OS     = [
    kernel   = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-xen-amd64",
    initrd   = "/boot/initrd.img-2.26-1-xen-amd64",
    root     = "sda1" ]
  DISK   = [
    source   = "/home/images/domains/test1/disk.img",
    target   = "sda1",
    readonly = "no" ]
  DISK   = [
    type     = "swap",
    size     = 1024,
    target   = "sdb"]
  NIC = [ MAC    = "00:11:22:33:44:55",bridge = "eth0" ]
  

• Submit

  $ sudo onevm submit test1.cfg
  $ sudo onevm list
  

Problem

• Ubuntu 8.10 的kernel 2.6.27-9-server 目前只support DomU (no Dom0) 2008/12/10
