Fedora 18 : how to burn an ISO image with CLI ( wodim )

small tips.
You can burn an ISO image into CD / DVD media with CLI by using wodim command.

[root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/fedora-release
Fedora release 18 (Spherical Cow)

[root@localhost ~]# uname -ri
3.7.2-204.fc18.x86_64 x86_64

install wodim via yum
[root@localhost ~]# yum install -y wodim

[root@localhost ~]# wodim --version
Cdrecord-yelling-line-to-tell-frontends-to-use-it-like-version 2.01.01a03-dvd
Wodim 1.1.11

Based on works from Joerg Schilling, Copyright (C) 1995-2006, J. Schilling

check your CD/DVD drive path. nn , can’t find the location.
[root@localhost ~]# wodim --devices
wodim: No such file or directory.
Cannot open SCSI driver!
For possible targets try 'wodim --devices' or 'wodim -scanbus'.
For possible transport specifiers try 'wodim dev=help'.
For IDE/ATAPI devices configuration, see the file README.ATAPI.setup from
the wodim documentation.

check the device name from dmesg.
Seen from the output , my CD/DVD-ROM drive path seems to be /dev/sr0

Linux Mint 14 : install Ubuntu 12.10 Server within KVM via CLI ( no GUI )

Here’s an explanation of how to install Ubuntu VMs with CLI by using virt-install.

KVM host
mint14-1 hattori # lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: LinuxMint
Description: Linux Mint 14 Nadia
Release: 14
Codename: nadia
mint14-1 hattori # uname -ri

mint14-1 hattori # kvm --version
QEMU emulator version 1.2.0 (qemu-kvm-1.2.0+noroms-0ubuntu2, Debian), Copyright (c) 2003-2008 Fabrice Bellard
mint14-1 hattori # virt-install --version
0.600.2


[ logs including trial and error ]

at first , create a virtual disk for the VM.
# qemu-img create -f qcow2 /var/disk1/libvirt_images/ubuntu1210-01.qcow2 10G
Formatting '/var/disk1/libvirt_images/ubuntu1210-01.qcow2', fmt=qcow2 size=10737418240 encryption=off cluster_size=65536 lazy_refcounts=off


then install the VM over virt-install.
nnn , error
mint14-1 ~ # virt-install --connect qemu:///system --name ubuntu1210-vm01 --ram 512 --disk=/var/disk1/libvirt_images/ubuntu1210-01.qcow2,format=qcow2 -c /home/hattori/ubuntu-12.10-server-amd64.iso --os-type linux --virt-type kvm --arch x86_64 --nographics --vcpus=1 --os-variant ubuntuquantal -w bridge=virbr0 --hvm --extra-args='console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8' --keymap=ja
ERROR    --extra-args only work if specified with --location.


it seems that we use “--extra-args” options when specifying “--location”.

install apache2 to have “virt-isntall” load the iso file over HTTP.
# apt-get install apache2

mint14-1 hattori # mv ubuntu-12.10-server-amd64.iso /var/www/
mint14-1 hattori # ls /var/www/*.iso
/var/www/ubuntu-12.10-server-amd64.iso


still error
mint14-1 ~ # virt-install --connect qemu:///system --name ubuntu1210-vm01 --ram 512 --disk=/var/disk1/libvirt_images/ubuntu1210-01.qcow2,format=qcow2 --location http://127.0.0.1/ubuntu-12.10-server-amd64.iso --os-type linux --virt-type kvm --arch x86_64 --nographics --vcpus=1 --os-variant ubuntuquantal -w bridge=virbr0 --hvm --extra-args='console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8' --keymap=ja
ERROR    Error validating install location: Could not find an installable distribution at 'http://127.0.0.1/ubuntu-12.10-server-amd64.iso'
The location must be the root directory of an install tree.


it seems that I need to specify the ISO mount point instead of the ISO file.

mount the iso file.
mint14-1 hattori # mkdir /var/www/iso_mnt

mint14-1 hattori # mount -t iso9660 /var/www/ubuntu-12.10-server-amd64.iso /var/www/iso_mnt
mount: warning: /var/www/iso_mnt seems to be mounted read-only.

mint14-1 hattori # ls /var/www/iso_mnt/
EFI                 boot   doc      isolinux    pics  preseed

try again. okay , the installation has started.
mint14-1 ~ # virt-install --connect qemu:///system --name ubuntu1210-vm01 --ram 512 --disk=/var/disk1/libvirt_images/ubuntu1210-01.qcow2,format=qcow2 --location http://127.0.0.1/iso_mnt/ --os-type linux --virt-type kvm --arch x86_64 --nographics --vcpus=1 --os-variant ubuntuquantal -w bridge=virbr0 --hvm --extra-args='console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8' --keymap=ja

How to apply patches to ESXi 5.0 via CLI

Here's an example of how to apply patches to ESXi 5.0 via CLI

current build number of my ESXi5 : 49512
latest build number as of 2012/10/17 : 821926

- enable SSH Server on the ESXi

vsphere client -> configuration -> security profile -> start SSH Server




- login to the ESXi via SSH and check the current build number and patch info

- shutdown VMs if VMs are running via vsphere client


- put the ESXi5 into maintenance mode

vsphere client -> summary -> enter maintenance mode




- upload the patch files to the ESXi5’s datastore

vsphere client -> summary -> browse datastore -> create a directory for patch files







upload patch files under patch directory







- apply patch files from oldest to newest

login to the ESXi via SSH

check the directory in which patch files exist
