This software contains a set of scripts that enable the manipulation of virtual images designed for Xen virtualization software.
The xen-tools project is a fantastic collection of scripts that allow you to manipulate virtual images for the Xen virtualization software. This software is incredibly easy to use and allows you to create new instances of Debian with just one simple command. With the tools installed, the images can be easily updated, listed, or deleted as well.
Creating a new image is incredibly straightforward with the xen-tools project. The script includes a full manual that is written using the perl documentation system, perldoc. This manual is incredibly detailed and provides you with all the information you need to operate the script and utilize the supported options. Each of the available options can also be set up in a configuration file for ease of use.
As an example, you can create an image using DHCP to obtain its networking information by running the following command: xen-create-image --hostname='vm01' --dir=/home/xen --size=2Gb --swap=128Mb --memory=128Mb --dhcp
In case you'd prefer to give the instance a static IP address, you can provide the information with the following flags: --ip (the IP address to give the instance), --gateway (the IP address of the gateway machine), --broadcast (the broadcast address to use), --network (the network the image is upon), and --netmask (the netmask to use).
Overall, this software is incredibly powerful and easy to use. If you're looking for a dependable tool to help you manipulate virtual images for the Xen virtualization software, the xen-tools project is definitely worth checking out.
