All, I'd like to be able to launch at least 25 UMLs, preferrably at boot time, and have the option to connect when needed a serial console for out of band management. So the problem is twofold:
1) How to launch a bunch of UMLs. At boot as a last SysV action ? 2a) How to launch UMLs with the possibility of offering a serial line that can service console prompt 2b) How to eventually and sometimes connect to these serial lines. For a serial utility I'm looking at conserver: http://www.adamsinfoserv.com/twiki/bin/view.cgi/HLUG/UsingConserverWithUserModeLinux Anyone using that ? What are you using ? To launch them I'd like to eventually wrap their launch in Perl, along with other stuff, but for now I'm considering simply something like: /path/linux ubda=mycow1,fs-1 umid=uml1 eth1=daemon,/tmp/switch1 & /path/linux ubda=mycow2,fs-2 umid=uml2 eth1=daemon,/tmp/switch1 & /path/linux ubda=mycow3,fs-3 umid=uml3 eth1=daemon,/tmp/switch1 & /path/linux ubda=mycow4,fs-4 umid=uml4 eth1=daemon,/tmp/switch1 & But then I've noticed and read that a UML might not fully boot if there's no console. Also, in which way the file system's inittab influences the use of serila console access from the host ? Does the file system inittab's tty declarations have any influence in that ? Thanks for any suggestions/hints/comments. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ User-mode-linux-user mailing list User-mode-linux-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/user-mode-linux-user
