Initial scratch notes on getting kvm working on fritz. This will need to be integrated into SetupNewMachines and AdminArea after everything is working. See http://wiki.hcoop.net/Migration2009/SoftwareSetup for the gist of what ClintonEbadi is trying to do here, but `s/OpenVZ/KVM via libvirt/g`. == Test Setup Notes == Nothing in particular order since it's all quite fuzzy * Account `clinton_admin` has been added to the `libvirt` group (permits ClintonEbadi to manage kvms as his user remotely using [[http://virt-manager.et.redhat.com/|virt-manager]] * Investigated bridging and firewalling: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=512206 * This also implies that using a separate bridge per VM is ideal * As advised in the bug, we have disabled netfilter on the bridge * Installed and configured: `less sudo vim emacs23-nox etckeeper changetrack openssh-server debsums logcheck bzip2 denyhosts rkhunter openafs-client ntp nscd krb5-user libpam-krb5 ssmtp libpam-afs-session openafs-krb5` === Packages Config === * `ssmtp` * forward all mail for UID < 1000 to logs * Masquerade as `hcoop.net` * PAM * Newfangled pam-config framework for a fresh squeeze install looks quite promising... (enabled kerberos + unix + afs session) == Major Open issues == * Need a Debian mirror for libnss-afs (debarchiver?) * Exim setup (have to add to forwardable domains on deleuze) * Automated partitioning (looks like I might have to manually craft the partman template instead of dumping it from d-i) ---- CategorySystemAdministration CategoryWorkInProgress
