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.
