Opennebula自定义VM 实现方法-Contextualizing Virtual Machines 2.2
from:http://archives.opennebula.org/documentation:archives:rel2.2:cong
There are two contextualization mechanisms available in OpenNebula: the automatic IP assignment, and a more generic way to give any file and configuration parameters. You can use any of them individually, or both.
Using Virtual Network Leases within a Virtual Machine
With OpenNebula you can derive the IP address assigned to the VM from the MAC address using the MAC_PREFFIX:IP rule. In order to achieve this we provide context scripts for Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS and openSUSE based systems. This scripts can be easily adapted for other distributions, check dev.opennebula.org.
To configure the Virtual Machine follow these steps:

- Copy the script
$ONE_SRC_CODE_PATH/share/scripts/vmcontext.sh
into the/etc/init.d
directory in the VM root file system.
- Execute the script at boot time before starting any network service, usually runlevel 2 should work.
$ ln /etc/init.d/vmcontext.sh /etc/rc2.d/S01vmcontext.sh
Having done so, whenever the VN boots it will execute this script, which in turn would scan the available network interfaces, extract their MAC addresses, make the MAC to IP conversion and construct a /etc/network/interfaces
that will ensure the correct IP assignment to the corresponding interface.
Generic Contextualization
The method we provide to give configuration parameters to a newly started virtual machine is using an ISO image (OVF recommendation). This method is network agnostic so it can be used also to configure network interfaces. In the VM description file you can specify the contents of the iso file (files and directories), tell the device the ISO image will be accessible and specify the configuration parameters that will be written to a file for later use inside the virtual machine.
In this example we see a Virtual Machine with two associated disks. The Disk Image holds the filesystem where the Operating System will run from. The ISO image has the contextualization for that VM:
context.sh
: file that contains configuration variables, filled by OpenNebula with the parameters specified in the VM description fileinit.sh
: script called by VM at start that will configure specific services for this VM instancecertificates
: directory that contains certificates for some serviceservice.conf
: service configuration

context.sh
is included by default. You have to specify the values that will be written inside context.sh
and the files that will be included in the image.Defining Context
In VM description file you can tell OpenNebula to create a contextualization image and to fill it with values using CONTEXT
parameter. For example:
CONTEXT = [
hostname = "MAINHOST",
ip_private = "$NIC[IP]",
dns = "$NETWORK[DNS, NAME=\"Public\"]",
ip_gen = "10.0.0.$VMID",
files = "/service/init.sh /service/certificates /service/service.conf"
]
Variables inside CONTEXT section will be added to context.sh
file inside the contextualization image. These variables can be specified in three different ways:
- Hardcoded variables:
hostname = "MAINHOST"
- Using template variables
$<template_variable>
: any single value variable of the VM template, like for example:\\ip_gen = "10.0.0.$VMID"
$<template_variable>[<attribute>]
: Any single value contained in a multiple value variable in the VM template, like for example:ip_private = $NIC[IP]
$<template_variable>[<attribute>, <attribute2>=<value2>]
: Any single value contained in a multiple value variable in the VM template, setting one atribute to discern between multiple variables called the same way, like for example:ip_public = "$NIC[IP, NETWORK=\"Public\"]"
- Using Virtual Network template variables
$NETWORK[<vnet_attribute>, NAME=<vnet_name>]
: Any single value variable in the Virtual Network (vnet_name) template, like for example:dns = "$NETWORK[DNS, NAME=\"Public\"]"
The file generated will be something like this:
# Context variables generated by OpenNebula
hostname="MAINHOST"
ip_private="192.168.0.5"
dns="192.168.4.9"
ip_gen="10.0.0.85"
files="/service/init.sh /service/certificates /service/service.conf"
target="sdb"
Some of the variables have special meanings, but none of them are mandatory:
Attribute | Description |
---|---|
files | Files and directories that will be included in the contextualization image |
target | device where the contextualization image will be available to the VM instance. Please note that the proper device mapping may depend on the guest OS, e.g. ubuntu VMs should use hd* as the target device |

Using Context
The VM should be prepared to use the contextualization image. First of all it needs to mount the contextualization image somewhere at boot time. Also a script that executes after boot will be useful to make use of the information provided.
The file context.sh
is compatible with bash
syntax so you can easilly source it inside a shellscript to get the variables that it contains.
EXAMPLE
Here we propose a way to use this contextualization data. Each unix has their own filesystem layout and way of handling init scripts, this examples assumes a debian-based virtual machine.
We are going to use contextualization data to set the hostname, the IP address and a user with known ssh keys.
First thing, lets outline the CONTEXT
section of the VM template:
CONTEXT = [
hostname = "$NAME",
ip_public = "$NIC[IP, NETWORK=\"Public\"]",
username = virtualuser
files = "/vms_configuration/id_rsa.pub /vms_configuration/init.sh"
]
The OpenNebula front-end will thus require a /vms_configuration
folder with:
id_rsa.pub
: Public ssh key to be added to the trusted ssh keys of the new userinit.sh
: script that will perform the configuration. Explained below.
Now we will need to configure the VM to make use of this data. We are going to place in /etc/rc.local
as:
#!/bin/sh -e
mount -t iso9660 /dev/sdc /mnt
if [ -f /mnt/context.sh ]; then
. /mnt/init.sh
fi
umount /mnt
exit 0
We use an indirection (rc.local calls init.sh) so changing the script means editing a file locally rather that changing it inside the VMs.
The init.sh script will be the one actually doing the work:
#!/bin/bash
if [ -f /mnt/context.sh ]; then
. /mnt/context.sh
fi
hostname $HOSTNAME
ifconfig eth0 $IP_PUBLIC
useradd -m $USERNAME
mkdir -p ~$USERNAME/.ssh
cat /mnt/id_rsa.pub >> ~$USERNAME/.ssh/authorized_keys
chown -R $USERNAME /home/$USERNAME
