jay vyas updated BIGTOP-1151:
-----------------------------
Summary: Default VM disk sizes, might be a little too small? Or maybe just
need recipes for making them bigger? (was: Default VM disk sizes, need docs
for making them larger)

> Key: BIGTOP-1151
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-1151
> Project: Bigtop
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: jay vyas
>
> The BigTop VMs come with very small disks, (partitions = "/" ; size: 2 -->
> 2GB).
> Either Default VM sizes could be larger, or (better) maybe we could curate a
> VM deployment methodology that is more flexible.
> At least in KVM, you can :
> 1) Follow :
> http://serverfault.com/questions/452794/increasing-a-linux-partition-once-vm-size-increased-in-vsphere
> 2) And then Run your virt-install:
> virt-install --import -n vmname -r 2048 --os-type=linux --disk
> ./bigtop-vm-kvm-master/bigtop_hadoop-sda.raw,device=disk,bus=virtio,size=8,sparse=true,format=raw
> --vnc --noautoconsole
> To create a "large" bigtop VM.
> But that seems a little bit like too much work. Options to create a more
> useable VM are:
> 1) Just hardcode the boxgrinder generators to make bigger default disk size
> for the VM
> 2) Have docs for vagrant/kvm/vmware that show how to setup the BigTop VM and
> then resize it using QEMU tools or VBoxModify, etc...
