Hi Ruben,<br><br>Thank you so much for your response<br><br>I have followed the steps and there are some issues. When I try to do a "onevm create solaris10.one", both the images (sol.img and osol-0906-x86.iso) are being copied to the shared storage as /srv/cloud/images/<vmid>/disk.0 and /srv/cloud/images/<vmid>/disk.1. Then the it tries to boot from the hard drive, I mean disk.0 (sol.img, hda). From the VNC console I could see<br>
<br> 1. disk.0 is detected as ata0 - 2G in size (this is the image, sol.img, created using dd)<br> 2. disk.1 is detected as ata1 - 677M (this is the iso image)<br> 3. a cdrom device<br><br>VNC is showing the boot error, tried to select F12 and selected cdrom, but no luck.<br>
<br><br># cat solaris10.one<br>NAME = solaris10<br>CPU = 0.2<br>MEMORY = 1280<br><br>DISK = [<br> source = "/srv/cloud/images/imgs/sol.img",<br> target = "hda",<br> save = "yes",<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
The procedure should be as follows, create a template that contains :<br>
<br>
1- Define your main disk as usual, and tell OpenNebula to keep the changes<br>
DISK = [<br>
source = "/srv/cloud/images/master/fedora_disk.img",<br>
target = "hda",<br>
save = "yes"<br>
clone = "no" ]<br>
(this assumes that you have a plain file for fedora_disk.img (e.g.<br>
with a dd). You can also use separate partitions for swap and the OS<br>
installation...<br>
<br>
2- Define an additional DISK for the ISO image with the installation CD<br>
DISK = [<br>
source = "/srv/cloud/images/isos/fedora_12.iso",<br>
type = "cdrom",<br>
target = "hdb",<br>
clone = "no" ]<br>
<br>
3.- Add a VNC console so you can interact with the installer. And tell<br>
to listen in a cluster node hostname, by adding to the template:<br>
GRAPHICS = [ type = "vnc", listen = "a_cluster_node_hostname", port = "5902"]<br>
<br>
4.- Tell OpenNebula to place the VM in that clusternode, by adding to<br>
the template:<br>
REQUIREMENTS="HOSTNAME=a_cluster_node_hostname"<br>
<br>
Once you have the template ready....<br>
<br>
1.- Create the VM with onevm create<br>
2.- use you favorite VNC client to install the OS (you should be able<br>
to see the console at c<cluster_node_name>:5902) NOTE: You can always<br>
use 127.0.0.1 for the VNC server but then you have to start the VNC<br>
client from the cluster node, but we usually do not have an X server<br>
there...<br>
3.- When you are done shutdown the VM. onevm shutdown<br>
4.- The new installed image would be in<br>
$ONE_LOCATION/var/<VM_ID>/disk.0 Copy it to a safe location so you can<br>
use it later as a master image.<br>
<br>
Hope it helps<br>
<br>
