OVD DEMO VIRTUAL APPLIANCE
也就是直接做好的虚拟机。
实验环境是：
Vmware Esxi 5.0 , OVD 的ova模版直接还原。
下面是官方的部署说明:
OVD DEMO VIRTUAL APPLIANCE
IN SHORT...
VirtuaBox, Vmware (4+), Xencenter: use the .OVA appliance
KVM: use the .tar.gz dedicated appliance
Networking: reconfigure to "bridge" if you are running into troubles, and read the documention below
Other issues: read the doc below, use the OVD conversion tools
Report your experience to: report-ovd-bugs at ulteo dot com - thx!

HOW TO IMPORT THE OVA FILE TO YOUR HYPERVISOR?
The followding Hypervisor are supported:
VirtualBOX
VMWARE
XenServer (!? testing is required)
KVM, standalone or using Virt-manager.
USING VIRTUALBOX
Go to File → Import Appliance ...
It's not recommeded to modify the VM properties during the execution of the Wizard, there is a bug in VirtualBOX that causes the import to fail. You can change the properties after the import.
USING VMWARE PLAYER/WORKSTATION
Go to File → Open a Virtual Machine
USING KVM
KVM doesn't have full support of OVF/OVA yet. A specific image, compatible with KVM, is provided.
To run the virtual appliance from the command line with KVM, either run our special kvm script (included in the archive):
# tar xfvj Ulteo-ovd-3.0.4-demo-appliance.tar.bz
# Ulteo-ovd-3.0.4-demo-appliance.run
Or, if you are a KVM wizard, use your own settings:
# tar xfjj ulteo-vappliace-3.0.tar.bz2
# kvm -hda ulteo-vappliance-3.0-disk1.qcow2 -net nic,model=e1000 -net tap
Note: these command lines require root privileges. Also, check that kvm is installed and enabled on your system!
END USER DOCUMENTATION, NETWORK, KEYBOARD LAYOUTS
This is a ready to run Virtual Appliance. Only network configuration if required if you don't have a DHCP server in the network where you connect the VM.
When login the virtual appliance you will notice that you are prompted to set your keymap (default: QWERTY/us)
Some keyboard layouts: fr, de, es, it, nl, ... (more information by running "man loadkeys")
More complex keyboard configuration can be achieved by running: sudo apt-get reconfigure console-setup
USEFUL ACCOUNTS
OVD Administrator account on Session Manager:
user: admin
password: admin
Shell account on the Virtual Appliance:
user: ulteo
password: ulteo
POST INSTALLATION CONFIGURATION
Post-installation doesn't require configuration if you have a DHCP server available to the virtual appliance. The IP address of the VM is printed in the console, before login.
If you don't have a DHCP server, run (as ulteo):
sudo net-config.sh
To configure the basic network parameters. Reboot after configuration.
CUSTOM CONFIGURATION
If you want to start to do custom configuration, I recommend to comment the following line in /etc/rc.local:
/usr/local/bin/update-redirection.php
That line updates the redirection name of the OVD pointing to the current IP of the virtual machine.
And you should disable the inmutable attribute on /etc/udev/rules/70-persistent-net.rules too:
chattr -i /etc/udev/rules/70-persistent-net.rules
This was configured to avoid interface renaming if you move the Virtual Appliance between hypervisors.
TROUBLESHOOTING
IMPORT FROM VMWARE OVFTOOL
If your VMWARE version doesn't support to open OVF directly, use ovftool to conver it to VMX format.
# ovftool Ulteo-ovd-3.0.4-demo-appliance.ova Ulteo-ovd-3.0.4-demo-appliance.vmx
(replace the filenames with newer versions if any)
Then add the VMX to your VM inventory.
VIRT-IMAGE ERROR: VALUEERROR: VIRTUAL NETWORK 'DEFAULT' HAS NOT BEEN STARTED
Try:
# sudo virsh net-start default
VIRT-MANAGER: VM DOESN'T BOOT
In Debian Squeeze and may be in other distributions, the virt-image command ignores the format of the disk file and sets it to “raw” instead of “qcow2”.
To fix this problem, run:
sudo virsh edit ulteo-vappliance-3.0
and look for the following line:
<driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
Replace raw with qcow2.
IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
OVF/OVA creation tests:
VMWARE WKS 8.0, VM exported to OVA.
VBOX imports OVA ok.
KVM, doesn't recognize the VMDK format (stream optimized).
VMWARE WKS 8.0 → OVF modifying the VMDK format to sparse which works with KVM.
VMWARE WKS imports with a warning, but the appliance works.
VBOX: Doesn't work, fails when it tries to convert the VMDK disks.
KVM: OVA imported with virt-image works.
VBOX export to OVF.
VMWARE imports with a warning, but the appliance works.
KVM doesn't recognize the VMDK format.
