I'm running a similar dev Env as Wido did for KVM A dedicated CentOS 6.3 server for KVM
* Make changes, build * scp the cloud-plugin-hypervisor-kvm.jar and other modified jar (like cloud-api.jar) to the KVM server and restart cloud-agent * if you want to debug cloud-agent remotely (like in eclipse), add following line to the JSVC start method in cloud-agent.sh, -Xdebug -Xnoagent -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=8787 Hope this helps Regards Mice -----Original Message----- From: Wido den Hollander [mailto:w...@widodh.nl] Sent: Wednesday, November 14, 2012 9:07 PM To: cloudstack-dev@incubator.apache.org Subject: Re: About the development approach of KVM Agent on master Hi, I'm in a vary luxurious, I have a rack full of hardware at my disposal to test CloudStack and Ceph. My way of developing is: * Make changes * Build a new Agent / KVM JAR * scp it to the hypervisor * Restart the Agent * See if it works! That is mainly the way I do my KVM development and testing.
