Could some familiar with systemVM creation comment on this advice...
Hi Nux!,
I would break this into three tasks.
1. Login to an existing SSVM, and figure out what changes to the
mount command you need to make. Once you have the parameters to your
liking, change the mount script the SSVM is using. Reboot, if
everything operates as expected, go on to the next step.
2. Look for the script you changed in the source tree. Update this,
and go on to the next step.
3. Roll a new SSVM template using the SystemVM build process. This
I don't understand, and let me explain why:
I can't tell if there is a single or multiple mvn projects to do
systemvm creation. There seem to be two ways to create the base OS:
a VeeWee-based systemflow and a script-based workflow
(buildsystemvm.sh). They seem to sit in different folders.
Also, I don't understand how the base image is customized. There
seems to be a mechanism that attach rolls changes into an ISO that is
attached to the systemVM and installed using a copy. However, its
unclear whether this is *the* script install mechanism or merely an
upgrade mechanism.
Thanks a lot, Donal. In the end I might just follow David's advice and
install & use swift for secondary.
This looks more and more complicated and hard to maintain.
I'll be glad to read any more details about the SSVM though, I like to
understand how the whole thing works (for when it breaks I'll be able to
fix).
