==== libguestfs and tools ==== | |||
You will need Fedora 18 (host) and at least one guest (but the more the merrier). | |||
Install libguestfs: | |||
# yum install '*guestf*' | |||
and run through the tests here: http://libguestfs.org/guestfs-testing.1.html | |||
In Fedora 18, we are using [http://libvirt.org libvirt] to launch the appliance, and [http://selinuxproject.org/page/SVirt sVirt] + SELinux to make everything [http://libguestfs.org/guestfs.3.html#security much more secure]. Therefore it's better (though not required) if you can run these tests with SELinux set to enforcing. | |||
==== GuestOS compatibility ==== | |||
* [[Test_Day:2012-04-12_Virtualization_Test_Day-GuestOS | GuestOS compatibility]] <br>— test installation of as many different guest operating system as as possible. (You will need a KVM bare metal host & lots of disk space) | |||
