VM Setup Notes

The steps on 'starting vm' will only need to be performed the first time when you are installing the operating system or whenever you want to reboot your vm.

Starting VM

The dev VMs are running on munin-vm#.eecs.oregonstate.edu where # is the number of your vm. You will need to use remote desktop to connect to wolf01.eecs.oregonstate.edu. If you are out of campus, you might need to first setup vpn and then connect to wolf. Connect to wolf using your EECS account. Once you are in wolf, go to: VMware Start Menu you'll see a new option for 'vSphere'.

engr-vc.engr.oregonstate.edu

Username:

EECS\username (helen, use your engr acct instead)

Password:

your EECS password

Once you are in vSphere select 'Hosts and Clusters'. Within the VM, you'll be able to select an ISO file to use as your install CD. You can start, stop, etc the VM and install what you need.

The VMs are on a protected chunk of IP address space. Only EECS computers have access to this space. See ConnectingToMuninVM for instructions on how to connect to the vm.

The vms are setup with 32 bit right now. We will be using Debian. Maybe during Winter or Spring Term we can get the VMs switched over to Gentoo so they reflect more the live site. We will be installing Debian because the latest version of Debian stable probably uses a different version of Trac. Download Debian Etch net installer:

http://www.debian.org/releases/etch/

# First you need to start or power on your vm. Do a right click or double click the vm. # Then you need to click on the cd looking drive icon in the toolbar. You need to connect the iso of debian etch that you downloaded to your vm. # Do a right click on the vm, and open the console # Now it's time to reboot the vm, by doing a right click and selecting the option # A couple of options should appear. Enter or press the necessary key to boot from the drive.

Installing the OS

This should be a straight forward Debian netinstall.

Setting up the components

At the time of this writing 10/25/2009 installing BeaverSource? is very complicated. The list below are the steps that I used to get beaversource up and running on Debian stable.
