A network bootloader for Xen PV guests.
xenpvnetboot supports getting boot images from the following locations:
- http://host/path - https://host/path - ftp://host/path - file:///path - tftp://host/path - nfs:host:/path - /path - /path/file.iso - /path/filesystem.img - /dev/sda1 - nfs+iso:host:/path/file.iso - nfs+iso:host:/path/filesystem.img
To use it, set xenpvnetboot as bootloader in the VM config file:
bootloader = 'xenpvnetboot'
To get boot images from various locations, set the right bootloader arguments:
bootloarder_args = ['--location=http://192.168.0.1/fedora/x86_64']
bootloarder_args = ['--location=ftp://192.168.0.1/fedora/x86_64']
bootloarder_args = ['--location=file:///fedora/x86_64']
bootloarder_args = ['--location=tftp://192.168.0.1/fedora/x86_64']
bootloarder_args = ['--location=/fedora/x86_64']
bootloarder_args = ['--location=/fedora/Fedora-16-x86_64-DVD.iso']
bootloarder_args = ['--location=nfs:192.168.0.1:/fedora/x86_64']
bootloarder_args = ['--location=nfs+iso:192.168.0.1:/fedora/Fedora-16-x86_64-DVD.iso']
You can use kernel and ramdisk in the VM config file to specify the relative path of the boot kernel and ramdisk: xenpvnetboot will join them with --location to find them:
kernel = 'images/pxeboot/vmlinuz'
ramdisk = 'images/pxeboot/initrd.img'
bootloarder_args = ['--location=http://192.168.0.1/fedora/x86_64']
kernel = 'fedora/x86_64/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz'
ramdisk = 'fedora/x86_64/images/pxeboot/initrd.img'
bootloarder_args = ['--location=http://192.168.0.1/']
You can also omit the --location option and specify the full URL for kernel and ramdisk directly:
kernel = 'http://192.168.0.1/fedora/x86_64/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz'
ramdisk = 'http://192.168.0.1/fedora/x86_64/images/pxeboot/initrd.img'
These 4 ways are equivalent:
bootloader_args = ['--location', 'http://192.168.0.1/']
kernel = 'OL6/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz'
ramdisk = 'OL6/images/pxeboot/initrd.img'
----
bootloader_args = ['--location', 'http://192.168.0.1/OL6']
kernel = 'images/pxeboot/vmlinuz'
ramdisk = 'images/pxeboot/initrd.img'
----
kernel = 'http://192.168.0.1/OL6/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz'
ramdisk = 'http://192.168.0.1/OL6/images/pxeboot/initrd.img'
----
bootloader_args = ['--location', 'http://192.168.0.1/OL6',
'--kernel', 'images/pxeboot/vmlinuz',
'--ramdisk', 'images/pxeboot/initrd.img']
If only --location is specified and kernel and ramdisk are not specified, xenpvnetboot will search the following default paths under location for boot images:
('images/xen/vmlinuz', 'images/xen/initrd.img'), # Fedora <= 10 and OL = 5
('boot/i386/vmlinuz-xen', 'boot/i386/initrd-xen'), # openSUSE >= 10.2 and SLES >= 10
('boot/x86_64/vmlinuz-xen', 'boot/x86_64/initrd-xen'), # openSUSE >= 10.2 and SLES >= 10
('current/images/netboot/xen/vmlinuz', 'current/images/netboot/xen/initrd.gz'), # Debian
('images/pxeboot/vmlinuz', 'images/pxeboot/initrd.img'), # Fedora >=10 and OL >= 6
('isolinux/vmlinuz', 'isolinux/initrd.img'), # Fedora >= 10 and OL >= 6
xenpvnetboot requires python module urlgrabber.
