Windows Image Build Instructions

Please take a look into https://github.com/openstack/murano-deployment/tree/master/contrib/windows/image-builder

Thank you. I am going thru the readme now. How do I get past the following please?

cloud@build-svr01:~$ sudo echo "${USER} ALL = NOPASSWD: ALL" > /etc/sudoers.d/${USER}
-bash: /etc/sudoers.d/cloud: Permission denied
cloud@build-svr01:~$

Thank you

I think i may have figured this out.......
thanks

Getting close to getting to create an image. I thank you for your help. :)
Thanks
Eric

we will take a look.
how did you fix the previous problem?

and btw murano official docs is located here now http://docs.openstack.org/developer/murano/

Good morning. Thank you, we are very excited to build a Murano Windows image.

With regards to the previous issue. I switched from running the script from sh rune.sh --{argument} to ./runme.sh --{argument}

Thank you
Eric

Oh and just so you know, I am following the steps outlined in the link Igor sent me above.

https://github.com/openstack/murano-deployment/tree/master/contrib/windows/image-builder

Please let me know if you need any further information.
Thank you

Hi,
1) please install zip linux package
2) also please run ./runme.sh --forceinstall-dependencies
3) ./runme.sh --run

Hi Igor
What is the zip Linux package?
I am trying to build murano windows image.
Thank you
Eric

Hi Eric.
Zip used in Makefile for powershell CoreFunctions, so it is should be installed on Linux where you trying to build windows image.

apt-cache policy zip
zip:
  Installed: 3.0-8
  Candidate: 3.0-8
  Version table:
 *** 3.0-8 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

apt-get install zip -y

Thank you Igor.....I was able to past the previous error, but now I have the following, smb.conf is there:

Try to do next:
1) file runme.sh line 512 function run_normal()
change prepare_local_sambaserver -> prepare_local_sambaserver true

2) file config.ini set workdir to avoid using user home dir as part of exported path for samba server.
[default]
workdir=/opt/winimage-builder

Hi Igor
Thank you so much for all of your assistance. I was able to get past the issues above. I am receiving the following, not sure if its normal or what should I be expecting now. Its been showing the activity below for about an hour now. What do I do now? Wait? I hit ctrl-c.

Hi Eric.
1) This is normal behavior and could take some time from 20 minutes to 1hr because builder used unattended installation windows feature:
...
Domain w2k12r2-standard-432292d4-abfa-11e5-9d83-d4ae52cae still running
...

2) After installation will be finished(windows vm will be automatically shutdown), script will convert RAW 40Gig image into QCOW2 ~10Gig, and reports to you where you can get final windows image in QCOW2 format on you file system.

N.B.:
1) I believe that you used a bare-metal Linux host with QEMU/KVM running on top for windows image building. Windows is very "hungry" for resources and do not works good in nested(included virtualziation for example KVM in KVM).
2) To access and take a look into building windows VM virtual screen you could use vncviewer with ssh port forwarding or SSVNC
Here you need to find endpoint of VM's virtual display. List your VMs runnign and find you windows VM name :
* virsh list
Get vnc virtual display address:
* virsh vncdisplay VM_NAME
Example output : 127.0.0.1:32
Using vncviewer or ssvnc you could join VM's virtual display and take a look what is going on inside, but do not interrupt any process inside(all image preparation procedure are fully automated)

Also, image build speed depends on HW resources you are using build procedure(SSD/HDD, CPU, general host workload).

thank you Igor

the server has 32 GB of RAM, dual CPU, 1 TB SATA drive......

it has been at:

Domain w2k12r2-standard-432292d4-abfa-11e5-9d83-d4ae52cae still running

for 4 hours now....going to let it run

Hi Igor
still running.....approx 7 hours........

Hi Eric.
Could you please join to VM virtual screen and take a look what is going on there , ie - what is on the screen.

Hi Igor
Do you want me to stop the process?

Domain w2k12r2-standard-432292d4-abfa-11e5-9d83-d4ae52cae still running

Also...not real familiar with connecting to VM. What is exact process please?

Thank you very much
Eric

Hi Igor
I ran the following. The top two are from my previous attempts, the bottom one is the one still running.

cloud@build-svr01:~$ virsh list
 Id Name State
----------------------------------------------------
 4 w2k12r2-standard-432292d4-abfa-11e5-9d83-d4ae52cae running
 7 w2k12r2-standard-7500202a-ac02-11e5-9011-d4ae52cae running
 10 w2k12r2-standard-d41270be-ad7d-11e5-9b5c-d4ae52cae running

cloud@build-svr01:~$

I ran a virsh shutdown on the top two, 4 and 7. 10 is still running

Ok I got connected to VNC

It is at a Command prompt and says:

Enter the username for '192.168.122.1':

Thanks
Eric

Hi, please check samba credentials used by you to access your smb share used in image builder

Hi Igor
This is what the Samba portion of the config.ini looks like:

# Samba setup/credentials
[samba]
mode=local
host=192.168.122.1
user=guest
domain=
password=
sharename=image-builder-share

Do you need me to check somewhere else?
Thanks
Eric

Hello
Is the information above adequate or do you require further details?
Thank you in advance
Eric

Hi Eric
Usually this is enough for setup local smb share with guest account access enabled.
I could try to help with debug of your environment.
Maybe we could arrange online meeting via google hangouts?
Looking forward for your answer.
Thanks
Igor
