--------------------------------
Summary: 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...
