3. at least 16GB disk size

Installation

1. Ensure sources.list integrity then install dependency:

   ::

   sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install python-pip libpython-dev libssl-dev libaio-dev

2. Upgrade pip and install setuptools:

   ::

   sudo pip install --upgrade pip sudo pip install setuptools

3. Two ways to install infrasim:

   • install infrasim from source code:

     ::

     git clone https://github.com/InfraSIM/infrasim-compute.git

     cd infrasim-compute

     sudo pip install -r requirements.txt

     sudo python setup.py install

   • install infrasim from python library:

     ::

     sudo pip install infrasim-compute

Start Infrasim Service

1. Initialization (you need do it once)

   ::

   sudo infrasim init

   Optional arguments:

   • -s, --skip-installation Ignore qemu/openipmi package installation

   • -f, --force Destroy existing Nodes

   • -c [CONFIG_FILE], --config-file [CONFIG_FILE] Use customized yaml file for the default node

   • -t [TYPE], --type [TYPE] Render specified node type for the default node

2. Infrasim Service Version:

   ::

   sudo infrasim version

3. Infrasim Node Configuration Management:

   • Add configuration mapping to a node

   ::

   sudo infrasim config add

   • Delete configuration mapping of a node

   ::

   sudo infrasim config delete

   • Update configuration mapping of a node

   ::

   sudo infrasim config update

   • Edit configuration mapping with environment editor

   ::

   sudo infrasim config edit

   • List all configuration mappings

   ::

   sudo infrasim config list

4. Infrasim Service Node Commands

   • Start a node

   ::

   sudo infrasim node start [node name]

   • Check node status

   ::

   sudo infrasim node status [node name]

   • Stop a node

   ::

   sudo infrasim node stop [node name]

   • Restart a node

   ::

   sudo infrasim node restart [node name]

   • Stop a node and detroy its runtime workspace

   ::

   sudo infrasim node destroy [node name]

   The default node configuration is already added to configuration mapping during infrasim init. In node commands, argument [node name] is optional. If it's not specified, it's treated as node "default".

Notice: You can use VNC to access the emulated legacy hardware, the default VNC port is 5901
