Project: Creating Virtual Machines

This project is to create virtual machines on the VM Server. Started 6 Mar 2013

Objectives

Simply put. Creating operational virtual machines, a first step to my VMarmy.

Prerequisites

In order to successfully accomplish/perform this project, the listed resources/experiences need to be consulted/achieved:

  • resource1
  • resource2
  • resource3
  • experience1
  • experience2
  • etc.

Background

Useful lines of stuff! Below is the old method of booting on the VMs. Put this in each config file per your VM and comment out the bootloader line, assuming that bootloader does not work initially.

kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-xen-amd64"
ramdisk = "/boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-xen-amd64"
 
#bootloader = '/usr/lib/xen-default/bin/pygrub'

Scope

Give a general overview of your anticipated implementation of the project. Address any areas where you are making upfront assumptions or curtailing potential detail. State the focus you will be taking in implementation.

Attributes

State and justify the attributes you'd like to receive upon successful approval and completion of this project.

  • attribute1: why you feel your pursuit of this project will gain you this attribute
  • attribute2: why you feel your pursuit of this project will gain you this attribute
  • etc…

Procedure

The actual steps taken to accomplish the project. Include images, code snippets, command-line excerpts; whatever is useful for intuitively communicating important information for accomplishing the project.

Code

Upon completion of the project, if there is an applicable collection of created code, place a copy of your finished code within <code> </code> blocks here.

/*
 * hello.c - A sample "Hello, World!" program
 * 
 * written by NAME for COURSE on DATE
 *
 * compile with:
 *   gcc -o hello hello.c
 *
 * execute with:
 *   ./hello
 */
 
#include <stdio.h>
 
int main()
{
    printf("Hello, World!\n");    // Output message to STDOUT
    return(0);
}

Execution

Again, if there is associated code with the project, and you haven't already indicated how to run it, provide a sample run of your code:

lab46:~/src/cprog$ ./hello
Hello, World!
lab46:~/src/cprog$ 

Reflection

Comments/thoughts generated through performing the project, observations made, analysis rendered, conclusions wrought. What did you learn from doing this project?

References

In performing this project, the following resources were referenced:

  • URL1
  • URL2
  • URL3 (provides useful information on topic)
  • URL4

Generally, state where you got informative and useful information to help you accomplish this project when you originally worked on it (from Google, other wiki documents on the Lab46 wiki, etc.)
