SystemVM downloading

I thought I'd be able to download systemvmtemplate-2013-09-03-master-hyperv.vhd from http://jenkins.cloudstack.org/view/master/job/build-systemvm-master/

However, I don't see a link to do so.

Is systemvmtemplate-2013-09-03-master-hyperv.vhd or other recent copy online anywhere?

Hi Rajesh,

Last test of the Hyper-V system vm image was probably August 20th, 2013, when I downloaded the Hyper-V system VM template that I currently use.  That image worked fine.

With that in mind, could you file a defect?

I can take a look if you provide a mechanism for me to download the build output.

Cheers,


DL

I had used the template from the Jenkins job, It was giving me error that file is corrupted.
Am not sure how Jenkins job is building those templates, will go through the job/script to figure out.

Thank for the info.

Not sure if you're asking me or telling me. I don't know how it is built now, would love to learn if there are any changes and to understand them.

Previously I had write some scripts which worked with veewee and produced the systemvmtemplates using VirtualBox as host, the idea was one should be able to create them on their computers using free or opensource software without needing any specific platform. This is a previously build hyperv template using those scripts, veewee and VBox:

Rohit,
HyperV systemvm template is built with Linux Integration services from MS linux.iso?

I did not follow any changes to the systemvm building code using veewee, but you can hack the code and see if we're not building hyperv as part of the build job now.

Months ago, when I wrote that I had saved few built systemvmtemplates for all hypervisors here, you may find one for hyperv (note: hyperv's VHD format is different from xen's, had busted many hours to get it right); http://people.apache.org/~bhaisaab/cloudstack/systemvmtemplates/

Hope this helps.

Thanks Donal, I had gone through your blog its very informative. 
Once the KVP daemon is running inside linux guest then we should be able to transfer/exchange data between hosts and linux guest right.!

RE: SystemVM downloading

Posted by Rajesh Battala <ra...@citrix.com>.
Donal, 
Great to know that you would be doing changes to systemvm template. 
I am curious to know how the host data will be passed to the systemvm's running in hyperv.
In my initial investigation I figured out with Integration Services installed in the Linux, we can get the guest details like (version etc) using KVP component. 
I was not able to figure out how we can send the data/values from host to systemvm's. 
I had read for windows based guest vm's we can send data from host to guest and we can see those in the guest registry. 
Once you figured out how to handle for linux please share it, it's very interesting to know.

Thanks
Rajesh Battala

Great!  I may need to update the template to allow it to accept host data from a Hyper-V 2012.  

Unlike XenServer, a Hyper-V host passes data through a user mode daemon that write key/value pairs to a file.  I need to investigate a bit further, but I believe that the daemon starts and startup scripts need updating to deal with the key/value pair file format.

RE: SystemVM downloading

Posted by Donal Lafferty <do...@citrix.com>.
Great!  I may need to update the template to allow it to accept host data from a Hyper-V 2012.  

Unlike XenServer, a Hyper-V host passes data through a user mode daemon that write key/value pairs to a file.  I need to investigate a bit further, but I believe that the daemon starts and startup scripts need updating to deal with the key/value pair file format.

RE: SystemVM downloading

Hi Donal, 
I had tried the hyperv systemvm generated from the Jenkins job. 
I was getting image corruption error. I don't think the systemvm generated for hyperv is proper one.
I had tried xenserver systemvm as it is VHD, it worked fine without issues.

Thanks
Rajesh Battala

Hey Donal, Soheil,

I had to remove those artifacts from jenkins as they occupied a lot of space on the instance which is a m1.small with a small disk. I've been looking for some mirroring space or s3 bucket where I can push the system VMs. You could meanwhile build your own as described here if you want to experiment with the latest.

I'll see if I can put up the hyperv vhd somewhere meanwhile.

Hey Donal, Soheil,

I had to remove those artifacts from jenkins as they occupied a lot of
space on the instance which is a m1.small with a small disk. I've been
looking for some mirroring space or s3 bucket where I can push the
system VMs. You could meanwhile build your own as described here if
you want to experiment with the latest.

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/x/UlHVAQ

I'll see if I can put up the hyperv vhd somewhere meanwhile.

Hi Soheil,

You can get the template from below location;  it's not latest but tested extensively

http://download.cloud.com/templates/4.2/systemvmtemplate-2013-07-12-master-xen.vhd.bz2

I thought I'd be able to download systemvmtemplate-2013-09-03-master-hyperv.vhd from http://jenkins.cloudstack.org/view/master/job/build-systemvm-master/

However, I don't see a link to do so.

Is systemvmtemplate-2013-09-03-master-hyperv.vhd or other recent copy online anywhere?
