Buildbot Setup for Virtual Machines - Ubuntu 13.10 "saucy"

Base install

qemu-img create -f qcow2 /kvm/vms/vm-saucy-amd64-serial.qcow2 20G
qemu-img create -f qcow2 /kvm/vms/vm-saucy-i386-serial.qcow2 20G

Start each VM booting from the server install iso one at a time and perform the following install steps:

kvm -m 2048 -hda /kvm/vms/vm-saucy-amd64-serial.qcow2 -cdrom /kvm/iso/ubuntu/ubuntu-13.10-server-amd64.iso -boot d -smp 2 -cpu qemu64 -net nic,model=virtio -net user,hostfwd=tcp:127.0.0.1:2287-:22
kvm -m 2048 -hda /kvm/vms/vm-saucy-i386-serial.qcow2 -cdrom /kvm/iso/ubuntu/ubuntu-13.10-server-i386.iso -boot d -smp 2 -cpu qemu64 -net nic,model=virtio -net user,hostfwd=tcp:127.0.0.1:2288-:22

Once running you can connect to the VNC server from your local host with:

vncviewer -via ${remote_host} localhost

Replace ${remote-host} with the host the vm is running on.

Note: When you activate the install, vncviewer may disconnect with a complaint about the rect being too large. This is fine. Ubuntu has just resized the vnc screen. Simply reconnect.

Install, picking default options mostly, with the following notes:

• Set the hostname to ubuntu-saucy-amd64 or ubuntu-saucy-i386
• do not encrypt the home directory
• When partitioning disks, choose "Guided - use entire disk" (we do not want LVM)
• No automatic updates
• Choose software to install: OpenSSH server

Now that the VM is installed, it's time to configure it. If you have the memory you can do the following simultaneously:

kvm -m 2048 -hda /kvm/vms/vm-saucy-amd64-serial.qcow2 -cdrom /kvm/iso/ubuntu/ubuntu-13.10-server-amd64.iso -boot c -smp 2 -cpu qemu64 -net nic,model=virtio -net user,hostfwd=tcp:127.0.0.1:2287-:22 -nographic
kvm -m 2048 -hda /kvm/vms/vm-saucy-i386-serial.qcow2 -cdrom /kvm/iso/ubuntu/ubuntu-13.10-server-i386.iso -boot c -smp 2 -cpu qemu64 -net nic,model=virtio -net user,hostfwd=tcp:127.0.0.1:2288-:22 -nographic

Editing /boot/grub/menu.lst:

sudo vi /etc/default/grub

# Add/edit these entries:

sudo update-grub
# exit back to the host server

Add Key to known_hosts

Do the following on each kvm host server (terrier, terrier2, i7, etc...) to add the VMs to known_hosts.
