Making the host system UML-capable + ---------------------------------- + + UML instances can be run on both Linux 2.4 and Linux 2.6 kernels. + If you are using a vanilla kernel from kernel.org then you must first + apply the host SKAS patch available from + + http://www.user-mode-linux.org/~blaisorblade/patches/ + + and recompile and reboot your host kernel. Some Linux distributions as e.g. + SuSE already include the SKAS patch in their kernels. + + You will also need the UML utilities (uml_mconsole and uml_switch) + available from + + http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/user-mode-linux/uml_utilities_20040406.tar.bz2 + + Many Linux distributions offer the UML utilities as a package. + + +2. Installing the required files + ----------------------------- + +First create a directory where you want the strongSwan UML testing environment +to be located.The default directory is "~/strongswan-testing". If you choose a +different location, please adapt the UMLTESTDIR variable in "testing.conf" +accordingly. + + mkdir ~/strongswan-testing + +Now copy the "testing" subdirectory coming with the strongSwan distribution to +the UML testing environment: + + cp -r testing ~/strongswan-testing + +Next you need to copy several files into the ~/strongswan-testing directory that +are required for the strongSwan testing environment: + + * A vanilla Linux kernel on which the UML kernel will be based on. + We recommend the use of + + http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.16.9.tar.bz2 + + * Starting with Linux kernel 2.6.9 no patch must be applied any more in order + to make the vanilla kernel UML-capable. For older kernels you'll find + a matching UML patch at + + http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/user-mode-linux/ + + * The matching .config file required to compile the UML kernel: + + http://download.strongswan.org/uml/.config-2.6.16 + + * A gentoo-based UML file system (compressed size 130 MBytes) found at + + http://download.strongswan.org/uml/gentoo-fs-20060330.tar.bz2 + + * The latest strongSwan distribution + + http://download.strongswan.org/strongswan-2.7.0.tar.gz + + +3. Creating the environment + ------------------------ + +Now change into the testing subdirectory + + cd ~/strongswan-testing/testing + +and make the UML testing environment: + + ./make-testing <hosts> + +The "make-testing" script calls a series of subscripts which can be +enabled or disabled individually by setting the corresponding flags +in "testing.conf": + + if [ $ENABLE_BUILD_UMLKERNEL = "yes" ] + then + scripts/build-umlkernel + fi + +builds an UML kernel out of the vanilla Linux kernel and the corresponding +UML kernel patch. + + if [ $ENABLE_BUILD_HOSTCONFIG = "yes" ] + then + scripts/build-hostconfig + fi + +generates the default configurations for the UML hosts alice, venus, moon, +carol, winnetou, dave, sun, and bob by replacing the wildcards PH_IP_ALICE, +etc. by the actual IP addresses defined in "testing.conf". + + if [ $ENABLE_BUILD_UMLROOTFS = "yes" ] + then + scripts/build-umlrootfs + fi + +takes the gentoo-based UML file system and compiles the latest strongSwan +distribution into it. + + if [ $ENABLE_BUILD_SSHKEYS = "yes" ] + then + scripts/build-sshkeys + fi + +adds the common RSA public key of the UML instances to your ~/.ssh/known_hosts +directory so that you can log onto the UML instances using ssh without typing +in a password. The "scripts/build-sshkeys" script should only be run once. + + if [ $ENABLE_BUILD_UMLHOSTFS = "yes" ] + then + scripts/build-umlhostfs <hosts> + fi + +creates the customized UML file systems for the instances given as command line +arguments by adding the default host configurations to the UML root file system. +If the "make-starting" scripts is called without any arguments then by default +the UML file systems are created for the hosts alice, venus, moon, carol, +winnetou, dave, sun, and bob. Each UML root file system has as size defined by +the ROOTFSSIZE in testing.conf which by default is 544 MBytes. Thus all 8 UML +hosts plus the master copy will require a total of 5 GBytes of disk space. + + if [ $ENABLE_START_TESTING = "yes" ] + then + ./start-testing <hosts> + fi + +starts the automated testing. More details on the tests you'll find in the +README document. + +----------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +This file is RCSID $Id: INSTALL,v 1.39 2006/04/24 16:58:03 as Exp $ + |
