======Project: Creating Virtual Machine======

=====Prerequisites=====
* VM Server Install

=====Objectives=====
Create a virtual machine thru the created VM server created before. I am mostly creating this in order to implement my facebook terminal install.

=====Background=====
It will be a full virtual linux install on a VM server. It will only be the install of 1 VM
=====Scope=====
I'd like to use this to implement other prjects I want to do in order to keep them away from lab46 and therefore blowing up the world.

=====Attributes=====


  * I'd like to receive a fully functioning machine that I can run test projects on so I'm not blowing up worlds.

=====Procedure=====

From the VM server..
<cli>
vmserver:~# xen-create-image --hostname=vm## --mac=00:16:3e:2e:c0:## --role=udev
</cli>
The ## is where the number of your VM creation will go. IE My first VM was 01. From the directory listing (put here) I am allocated slots 1 thu 6 so I will begin with 1. The pound signs are where I would put 01 thru 06 depending on which ones I already have installed.

This takes the actual image and creates the VM.

<cli>
vmserver:~# xm create -c /xen/conf/vm##.cfg
</cli>

This creates the VM giving it an IP address. (This is a one time process)
=====Execution=====
