NAME
adt-virt-xenlvm - autopkgtest virtualisation server using Xen and LVM
SYNOPSYS
adt-virt-xenlvm
[options]
--
[adt-xenlvm options]
DESCRIPTION
adt-virt-xenlvm
provides an autopkgtest virtualisation server using a Xen virtual
machine and LVM snapshots. It adapts the raw functionality provided
by the
R adt-xenlvm- *
tools for use by autopkgtest.
Normally
adt-virt-xenlvm
will be invoked by
R adt-run .
R adt-virt-xenlvm
uses
R adt-xenlvm-with-testbed
and
R adt-xenlvm-on-testbed .
The testbed must have previously been set up with
R adt-xenlvm-setup .
Neither
R adt-virt-xenlvm
nor
R adt-xenlvm-with-testbed
do any locking; it is the the caller's responsibility not to attempt
concurrent use of any particular testbed.
OPTIONS
I --distro= distro
Specifies a different distro (ie, the use of a different testbed).
I --nominum= nominum
Specifies a different nominum (ie, the use of a different testbed).
R --userv
Specifies that the adt-xenlvm tools should not be run directly, but
rather via userv. The calling user must be permitted to use
R userv root adt-xenlvm-testbed .
In the default configuration, this means being a member of the
AdtXenUs
group.
I -- -- adt-xenlvm-option = adt-xenlvm-value
Following the first occurrence of
--
on the
adt-virt-xenlvm
commandline, any of the values in the adt-xenlvm configuration may be
set in the usual way. The arguments are simply passed to
adt-virt-xenlvm.
See /usr/share/doc/autopkgtest-xenlvm/README.gz for full details
of adt-xenlvm.
I -- -D varname = value
If --userv was specified, options following the first
--
on the
adt-virt-xenlvm
commandline are passed as option arguments to userv. These
should normally be user-defined variable settings using -D which
are expected by the autopkgtest-xenlvm/userv-target script.
Currently only distro and nominum are expected, and these
can be set using adt-virt-xenlvm's own options.
R -d | --debug
Enables debugging output. Probably not hugely interesting.
INPUT, OUTPUT AND EXIT STATUS
The behaviour of
adt-virt-xenlvm
is as described by the AutomatedTesting virtualisation regime
specification.
