Synnefo

    * Ganeti Instance Image

      For Synnefo to be able to launch VMs from specified Images, you need

      the gnt-instance-image OS Provider.

      Download and install gnt-instance-image in all Ganeti nodes from its own repository,

      at https://code.grnet.gr/git/gnt-instance-image

      After installing gnt-instance-image do the following:

      1.root@ganeti-master:/path-to-repo# cp ./defaults /etc/default/ganeti-instance-image

      2.Uncomment the following in /etc/default/ganeti-instance-image:

        SWAP=no

        ARCH="x86_64"

      3.Add to /etc/default/ganeti-instance-image (so that make-dump makes no /boot partition):

        KERNEL_PATH="True"

      4.Change the path in make-dump line 22 according to your installation

        (/usr/share/ganeti/os/image/common.sh --> /srv/ganeti/os/image/common.sh)

      5.Comment line 401 in common.sh (#KERNEL_PATH="$INSTANCE_HV_kernel_path")

      Your Custom Images should be stored in a dump format under /var/cache/ganeti-instance-image

      and their filenames should have the following format:

      {backend_id}-x86_64-root.dump

      e.g. debian-6.0.1a-x86_64-root.dump (backend_id = "debian-6.0.1a")
