NAME
adt-virt-xenlvm - autopkgtest virtualisation server using Xen and LVM
SYNOPSYS
adt-virt-xenlvm [options] -- [adt-xenlvm options]
DESCRIPTION
adt-virt-xenlvm provides an autopkgtest virtualisation server using a
Xen virtual machine and LVM snapshots. It adapts the raw functionality
provided by the adt-xenlvm-* tools for use by autopkgtest.
Normally adt-virt-xenlvm will be invoked by adt-run.
adt-virt-xenlvm uses adt-xenlvm-with-testbed and adt-xenlvm-on-testbed.
The testbed must have previously been set up with adt-xenlvm-setup.
Neither adt-virt-xenlvm nor adt-xenlvm-with-testbed do any locking; it
is the the caller’s responsibility not to attempt concurrent use of any
particular testbed.
OPTIONS
--distro=distro
Specifies a different distro (ie, the use of a different
testbed).
--nominum=nominum
Specifies a different nominum (ie, the use of a different
testbed).
--userv
Specifies that the adt-xenlvm tools should not be run directly,
but rather via userv. The calling user must be permitted to use
userv root adt-xenlvm-testbed. In the default configuration,
this means being a member of the AdtXenUs group.
-- --adt-xenlvm-option=adt-xenlvm-value
Following the first occurrence of -- on the adt-virt-xenlvm
commandline, any of the values in the adt-xenlvm configuration
may be set in the usual way. The arguments are simply passed to
adt-virt-xenlvm.
See /usr/share/doc/autopkgtest-xenlvm/README.gz for full details
of adt-xenlvm.
-- -Dvarname=value
If --userv was specified, options following the first -- on the
adt-virt-xenlvm commandline are passed as option arguments to
userv. These should normally be user-defined variable settings
using -D which are expected by the autopkgtest-xenlvm/userv-
target script. Currently only distro and nominum are expected,
and these can be set using adt-virt-xenlvm’s own options.
-d | --debug
Enables debugging output. Probably not hugely interesting.
INPUT, OUTPUT AND EXIT STATUS
The behaviour of adt-virt-xenlvm is as described by the
AutomatedTesting virtualisation regime specification.
