Re: [Xen-users] Making system templates
 
I suggest the virt-clone method since I use it for cloning windows and
linux. It is a perfect tool. I created a template windows and linux
setup. First, shut the main copy, after virt-clone, change the temp
name and IP and use it. 
 
  - vserver01 template copy to vserver0X example,
 
   
  - virt-clone
 
  - (file path)? /var/lib/xen/images/xserver0X.img
 
  - the name of the original virtual machine? xserver01
 
  - the name for the cloned virtual machine? xserver0X
 
  - Cloning from /var/lib/xen/images/xserver01.img to
/var/lib/xen/images/xserver0X.img
 
  - Change IP address
 
  - Change name if Windows as xserver0X

      about LVM : one the big advantages of LVM
is the resize... "lvresize" on
         
Dom0, then (for ext3/ext4) resize2fs in DomU.
         
     
       
add a partition resize step.  even so, this only works if the
       
filesystem you want to resize is the last partition in the virtual
       
device
       
   
I never partition LVM "virtual device", I used different LV. So there
is no problem to resize any of this partitions.
     
About the additionnal step, I don't really see where it is a problem.
     
   
So to confirm, rather than making /dev/xenvg/domudisk and doing:
   
   
disk = ['phy:/dev/xenvg/domudisk,xvda,w']
   
   
and partitioning /dev/xenvg/domudisk in the guest, you'd make (for
example):
   
   
/dev/xenvg/domudisk-root
   
/dev/xenvg/domudisk-home
   
/dev/xenvg/domudisk-swap
   
   
and configure it like:
   
   
disk = [
   
   'phy:/dev/xenvg/domudisk-root,xvda1,w',
   
   'phy:/dev/xenvg/domudisk-home,xvda2,w',
   
   'phy:/dev/xenvg/domudisk-swap,xvda3,w'
   
]
   
   
Is that right? The idea had crossed my mind, but all the tools seemed
to want to do it the other way.

Jeff
