| # ONOS VM Build Script |
| |
| ### Setup |
| First, install the build.py dependencies: |
| |
| $ ~/mininet/util/vm/build.py --depend |
| |
| Also, if you will be running this script in a VM, make sure that it supports nested virtualization (for KVM). |
| In VMWare Fusion, this can be enabled in: Settings > Processors & Memory > Advanced Options > Enable hypervisor application in this virtual machine |
| |
| ### Building a base image (Mininet VM) |
| The first step is to build a base image. We will use a Mininet VM as a base image because it already has Mininet and a bunch of oother dependencies installed. We can do this using the following command: |
| |
| $ ~/mininet/util/vm/build.py raring64server |
| |
| Note: This will download the ISO, install Ubuntu, and install Mininet; it may take about 15 minutes on a Macbook Pro. |
| |
| The image will be placed in a timestamped folder in the current directory. (e.g. mn-raring64server-140606-19-21-35) |
| |
| ### Building the ONOS VM |
| The ONOS VM is built from an existing VM image (probably the base image that we just created). |
| From the ONOS-VM directory: |
| |
| $ ./onos-build-vm.py -i mn-raring64server-*/mininet-vm-x86_64.vmdk -o onos-vm-v1 |
| Note: You should replace the image file with the correct directory. |
| |
| This script will boot the image and run the installONOS function (which just downloads a script and runs it). |
| |
| This will create onos-vm-v1.ovf and onos-vm-v1.vmdk |
| |
| To change what is installed on the VM, you should edit vm-setup.sh |
