MS Windows image builder for OpenStack Murano¶

System requirements¶

• Debian based Linux distribution, like Ubuntu, Mint and so on.

• Packages required: qemu-kvm virt-manager virt-goodies virtinst bridge-utils libvirt-bin uuid-runtime samba samba-common cifs-utils

• User should be able to run sudo without password prompt!

  sudo echo "${USER}    ALL = NOPASSWD: ALL" > /etc/sudoers.d/${USER}
  sudo chmod 440 /etc/sudoers.d/${USER}
  

• Free disk space > 50G on partition where script will spawn virtual machines because of 40G required by virtual machine HDD image.

• Internet connectivity.

• Samba shared resource.

Configuring builder¶

Configuration parameters to tweak:

[default]

• workdir - place where script would prepare all software required by build scenarios. By default is not set, i.e. script directory would used as root of working space.
• vmsworkdir - must contain valid path, this parameter tells script where it should spawn virtual machines.
• runparallel - true of false, false set by default. This parameter describes how to start virtual machines, one by one or in launch them in background.

[samba]

• mode - local or remote. In local mode script would try to install and configure Samba server locally. If set to remote, you should also provide information about connection.
