Package lists for Cloud images
by Karanbir Singh 01 Jun '13

01 Jun '13

hi Guys, As we get ready to start publishing Cloud Images ( or rather images consumable in various virt platforms, including public and private clouds ) - it would be great to have a baseline package manifest worked out. What / how many images should we build. At this time we were thinking of doing : - CentOS-5 32bit minimal - CentOS-6 32bit minimal - CentOS-5 64bit minimal - CentOS-6 64bit minimal - CentOS-5 64bit LAMP - CentOS-6 64bit LAMP What would be the minimal functional requirements people would expect from these images ? and what rpms should be installed ? Should root login be enabled or should we require people to go in via a 'centos' user. Should the image be self-updating, or should we have a post-login message that indicates outstanding updates ? -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh ICQ: 2522219 | Yahoo IM: z00dax | Gtalk: z00dax GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc

KVM online backup images
by Andry Michaelidou 27 Nov '12

27 Nov '12

Hello to you all! We are implementing here at the University KVM virtualization for our servers and services and i was wondering if anyone try to automatically backup images. I am actually using logical volumes for the VM guests. All virtual clients are installed in their LVM logical volume. We are already use IBM TSM for backup as we used to when we had physical machines, ie install client in OS and manage files and data backup. I want to have an image backup additional to files backup, but i want to take the image online, without pause or suspend the VM guests. Did anyone try to create image backups online? What about http://wiki.qemu.org/Features/Livebackup? Can you please advise? -- Andry Michaelidou Papa | IT Systems Administrator|Department of Computer Science| University of Cyprus Tel: +357.22.892734 | Fax: +357.22.8927231 | http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy

AWS images and the Sydney zone
by Karanbir Singh 22 Nov '12

hi guys, So it turns out that Sydney is too new a zone and not in the regular AWS image-production-pipeline. Although that should get fixed soon, in the mean time, should we go ahead and push images there ourselves ? - kb -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh ICQ: 2522219 | Yahoo IM: z00dax | Gtalk: z00dax GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc

Connection problems with virt-viewer
by carlopmart 11 Nov '12

Hi all, I am trying to connect a Debian desktop ( wheezy/testing release) to a CentOS KVM server (6.3 x86_64), but nothing is showed. Command used: virt-viewer -c qemu+ssh://root@centoskvm/system testvm Connection is established and a little blank window appears, but nothing more ... I can not interact with the kvm guest. Somebody knows where it can be the problem?? Thanks -- CL Martinez carlopmart {at} gmail {d0t} com
