+ | ==== Start the VM ==== | ||
+ | ---- | ||
+ | Now we'd like to start the virtual machine. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Unfortunately, we're using the XAPI toolstack which doesn't provide an equivalent to the **xl create <vm> -c**.\\ | ||
+ | Well have to modify the toolstack and reboot (had no time to search how to only reboot the toolstack itself). | ||
+ | |||
+ | <code> | ||
+ | > nano /etc/default/xen | ||
+ | |||
+ | TOOLSTACK=xl | ||
+ | |||
+ | > reboot | ||
+ | </code> | ||
+ | |||
+ | Start the virtual with | ||
+ | <code> | ||
+ | > cd /opt/xen/X-Local-VMS/ | ||
+ | > xl create ipfire -c | ||
+ | </code> | ||
+ | |||
+ | It will boot, do some housekeeping and reboot. During the reboot you will lose your console, and must reconnect. | ||
+ | |||
+ | the -c tells xl to connect you to the console immediately. You can watch as the housekeeping is done (mainly, enlarging the / partition), then you will see the reboot message. When you are back at the DOM0 prompt, reconnect with | ||
+ | <code> | ||
+ | > xl console ipfire | ||
+ | </code> | ||
+ | |||
+ | Then configure the router. Remember, if you are connected over a terminal window on your workstation (likely via ssh), the size of the window should be as close as possible to 80 char x 24 lines. This is an ongoing issue with the scon install, and one that can not be easily fixed. | ||
