NAME

       adt-virt-chroot - autopkgtest virtualisation server using a chroot

SYNOPSYS

       adt-virt-chroot [options] =[chroot-name]
       adt-virt-chroot [options] [-rgain-root-cmd] /path/to/chroot

DESCRIPTION

       adt-virt-chroot provides an autopkgtest virtualisation server using a chroot install (or similar).

       Normally adt-virt-chroot will be invoked by adt-run.

       The  chroot to use must be specified.  If it starts with a = character then it is taken to be a chroot name known to dchroot(8).  Otherwise
       it must start with a / and will be taken to an absolute path.

OPTIONS

       --gain-root|-r gain-root-cmd
	      Specifies that adt-virt-chroot can become root (on the host) by prefixing its commands with gain-root-cmd.  The command may  consist
	      of  several words separated by whitespace, in which case words other than the first are supplied as additional arguments to the com-
	      mand; other shell (or other) metacharacters in gain-root-cmd are not interpreted or modified by adt-virt-chroot.	The actual command
	      to be run as root, and its arguments, are supplied as additional (separate) arguments to gain-root-cmd.

	      Root  privilege is needed, to successfully run chroot(8), if the chroot to use is specified as an absolute path.	The default is not
	      to take any special action when root will be needed, in which case for an absolute path chroot, adt-virt-chroot must be  started	as
	      root.

       -d | --debug
	      Enables debugging output.  Probably not hugely interesting.

INPUT, OUTPUT AND EXIT STATUS
       The behaviour of adt-virt-chroot is as described by the AutomatedTesting virtualisation regime specification.

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 functional-
       ity 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-set-
       up.

       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.
