Vdsm: Virtual Desktop Server Manager

Build Status

The Vdsm service exposes an API for managing virtualization hosts running the KVM hypervisor technology. Vdsm manages and monitors the host's storage, memory and networks as well as virtual machine creation, other host administration tasks, statistics gathering, and log collection.

Installation

VDSM uses autoconf and automake as its build system.

To configure the build environment:

./autogen.sh --system

To see available options:

./configure --help

To create an RPM:

make rpm

Install the desired Rpms from ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch.

In order to start vdsm at first try, please perform:

vdsm-tool configure [--force]

--force flag will override old conf files with vdsm defaults and restart services that were configured (if were already running)

Packaging

The 'vdsm.spec' file demonstrates how to distribute Vdsm as an RPM package.
