4.1.3. Guest Provisioning

Note

genome-bootstrap now wraps Koan for provisioning virtual machines. This is only included for advanced use cases.

 
koan -s genome-repo.usersys.redhat.com --virt --virt-type=xenpv --virt-path=HostVolGroup00 --system=[your hostname]

Here the most important part is obviously the --virt flag. If you pass in a Volume Group name for --virt-path koan will automatically create (or reuse) a logical volume in the format of [name]-disk0. With cobbler much of the configuration lies on the server side (the memory, size of the logical volume, etc). If you have different requirements you can either create a new profile for cobbler or you can use the tooling that makes up Genome achieve the desired results.

Tip

One trick to creating a quest with a larger logical volume than a cobbler profile specifies is to simply create it by hand and specify the size you desire. Koan will simply reuse that logical volume.
