Re: devcloud-kvm

[Marcus Sorensen <sh...@gmail.com>]

FYI, devcloud-kvm now works on Mac. It requires VMware fusion though,
since it allows paravirtualization inside the VM (nested). I added it
to the documentation, and am having someone test the instructions just
to make sure others can import the VM without issue.

It may require some tweaking if you're using fusion for other things.
I need to iron out the best network layout, for now I just set it up
as a dual NAT because that's how the devcloud-kvm image for linux is
configured. If you're using something that likes having vmnet1 a
host-only, and dhcp on for both vmnet1 and vmnet8, it may cause you
problems. The packaged INSTALL-HOWTO.txt will walk you through that
though.

Ideally we can come up with something that requires only minimal
tweaks that other VMs you may use can live with, but that devcloud-kvm
can work with in both Mac/fusion and Linux/KVM.

Fantastic, thanks!

I'm using Fusion, so I'll also give this a test when I get home.

w00t! Awesome Marcus! I'm gonna try this, but can you share/upload
your image (so folks may skip the step of building it themselves)
maybe on p.a.o/~nick?
