Test of XCP 1.5: xe vm-install / xe vm-add-disk CLI options for VDI (sm-config:type=raw)
|
|
Hello,
Thanks a lot for XCP 1.5. I did some tests and run in some issues.
Description:
I use the following script to create local SRs. It works fine.
# ---
#!/bin/bash
# Usage: $basename <xcp_host_name> <sr_label> <sr_device>
XCP_HOST_ID=`xe host-list name-label="${1}" | sed -n 's/^uuid .*: //p'`
SR_LABEL="$2"
SR_DEVICE=$3
# Example values
#XCP_HOST_ID=dev70
#SR_LABEL="dev70 local LVM SR 2"
#SR_DEVICE=/dev/sdb
### # Create local SR (storage repository) on the given XCP host
xe sr-create host-uuid=$XCP_HOST_ID content-type=user
name-label="${SR_LABEL}" shared=false device-config:device=${SR_DEVICE}
type=lvm
SR_ID=`xe sr-list name-label="${SR_LABEL}" | sed -n 's/^uuid .*: //p'`
# ---
I use the following script to create local VDIs. It works fine too,
however I *didn't* find any possibility to attach such VDI with it's
specific options (**sm-config:type=raw**) to VM or create such VDI with
"xe vm-disk-add ...." (as I am getting there always
**sm-config:vhd_type=vhd**).
# ---
#!/bin/bash
# Usage: $basename <xcp_host_name> <sr_label> <vdi_label> <vdi_size>
XCP_HOST_ID=`xe host-list name-label="${1}" | sed -n 's/^uuid .*: //p'`
SR_LABEL="$2"
VDI_LABEL="$3"
VDI_SIZE=$4
SR_ID=`xe sr-list name-label="${SR_LABEL}" | sed -n 's/^uuid .*: //p'`
# Create new VDI (virtual disk image) with sm-config:type=raw
xe vdi-create name-label="${VDI_LABEL}" sr-uuid=$SR_ID type=user
*sm-config:type=raw* virtual-size=${VDI_SIZE}GiB
# ---
It creates the following VDI:

Just another scipt (a part of it directly below and full version in
attachment) creates the VM.

# Create new VM

I have checked the Xen-6.0.0-reference handbook but didn't find needed
details.
My questions:
1. Is there a possible "**sm-config:type=raw**" option on the "xe
*vm-disk-add* ..." command line?
2. Is it possible to specify "**vdi-uuid**" (instead of *sr-uuid*) on
the "xe *vm-disk-add* vm=..." command line?
Thank you in advance for any hints.
regards, Mark
