KVM

NOTE This section is in progress.

• Start with a system that has libvirt-bin, QEMU, and virt-manager setup on it.
• Install the ubuntu snappy image (link to page) uncompressed into /var/lib/libvirt/images. You can use this disk image in a simple template VM to boot directly into snappy. I create the peer's primary disk, attach it to this VM as a second disk, and dd the first disk to the second using dd if=/dev/vda of=/dev/vdb bs=32M; sync. I then detach the disk and reuse it in the final VM as the peer's primary disk.
• Create the peer VM as a new virtual machine with 2 disks. The first disk will be the clone of the snappy image from the step above. The second disk should be the btrfs disk with significantly more capacity. Then I start up the VM and check that the disks are there.
• WARNING Used macvlan to bridge to main network device and there's no route from the local computer to the VM. I'm sure this can be easily fixed. See here: http://superuser.com/questions/349253/guest-and-host-cannot-see-each-other-using-linux-kvm-and-macvtap
• On Snappy there seems to be no wget but I can snappy install curl.
• Curl down the latest subutai snap (/apps/curl.tetor/current/bin/curl -O https://cdn.subut.ai:8338/kurjun/rest/file/get?name=subutai_4.0.14_amd64-dev.snap) and install it.
• Build the btrfs filesystem using the second disk (/dev/vdb) and disable automatic updates in snappy as referenced and install the management server.
