Virtual machines creation

• Use the "VM management - Update guests list" option from the "VM Management (add/remove VM, start, stop, console connection, ...)" menu option to add and start your new virtual machine (guest)
  .
  
  • If you're running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, first install the service using the "Install or update service" option.
    .
  • Optionally, use option "Enable/Disable start at server boot" to prevent the guest from starting automatically when the Linux server is booted
    .
  • Optionally (but highly recommended), use option "Create/Edit guest stop script" to define the stop script that will be used to perform a clean shutdown of the virtual machine at service stop. See examples provided in the '/opt/charon/utils/charon_gstart.stop.example' file.
    It is recommended to test your shutdown scripts before going on production
    .
  • Optionally, create the '/opt/charon/utils/charon_gstart.chkrun' file, by copying the 'charon_gstart.chkrun.example' file for example, to add information about the guest state when displaying the guests list. See Optional guest display status script
    .
  • The log file monitoring service is created automatically.

  
  

• Connect to the guest console using the "Connect to guest console" menu option (from the "VM Management" menu) and install or restore the operating system. If 'telnet' is not installed, you can connect via putty for example ( in this case some firewall settings will have to be set, see Connection to guest console blocked by firewall )
