NAME

       dtc_write_xenhvm_conf - rewrites the xen startup script with selected params

SYNOPSIS

       dtc_write_xenhvm_conf VPS_NUMBER MEMORY_SIZE ALL_IP_ADDRESSES VNC_CONSOLE_PASSWORD HOW_TO_BOOT

DESCRIPTION

       dtc_write_xenhvm_conf  This  shell  script is a part of the dtc-xen package that is to be used by the dtc
       panel to manage a Xen VPS server.

       This script generate a Xen startup file with the parameters given to the script.

PARAMETERS

       Note that ALL parameters are mendatory.

       VPS_NUMBER has to be a number between 01 and 29

       MEMORY_SIZE is the amount of memory in mega bytes that you want to have setup in the Xen startup file for
       this VPS

       ALL_IP_ADDRESSES is a list of IPs that you want to be set in the  VM's  startup  file  and  in  the  VM's
       configuration.  Note  that  the IPs have to be separated by spaces, and thus you might want to use single
       quotes like this: '1.2.3.4 1.2.3.5'. Note that only the first IP will be set in the  VM's  configuration,
       but  the  list  will be set in the Xen startup file so you can use the anti-spoofing facilities of Xen if
       you need it (with untrusted users / unknown customers for example).

       VNC_CONSOLE_PASSWORD This is the VNC console password that you want  to  have  set-up  in  the  Xen  domU
       configuration  file,  so  that you can connect using VNC to the the setup. Note that special value no_vnc
       can be used to declare that you do not want the VNC console to be used at all.

       HOW_TO_BOOT This controls what the VPS will use to boot. A special value of  hdd  can  be  used  to  tell
       dtc_write_xenhvm_conf  that  you want to boot on the hard drive of the domU. Any other parameters will be
       used as a .iso file located in /var/lib/dtc-xen/ttyssh_home/xenXX where xenXX equals to  the  VPS  number
       set in the VPS_NUMBER parameter (see above).

       Note  that  whatever is set in this parameter, dtc_write_xenhvm_conf will add as many cdrom devices as it
       finds .iso files in the /var/lib/dtc-xen/ttyssh_home/xenXX folder.

EXAMPLE

       The following command:

       dtc_write_xenhvm_conf 14 512 '1.2.3.4 1.2.3.5' mYvNcPaSs boot.iso

       will produce this config file in /etc/xen/xen14:

       kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
       builder = 'hvm'
       memory = 512
       name = "xen14${VPSNAME}"
       vcpus=1
       pae=0
       acpi=0
       apic=0
       vif = [ 'type=ioemu, mac=00:00:00:00:00:00, ip=1.2.3.4 1.2.3.5' ]
       disk=[                   'phy:/dev/mapper/lvm1-xen14,ioemu:hda,w',                    'file:/var/lib/dtc-
       xen/ttyssh_home/xen14/boot.iso,hdb:cdrom,r',                                          'file:/var/lib/dtc-
       xen/ttyssh_home/xen14/cd2.iso,hdc:cdrom,r' ]
       cdrom="/var/lib/dtc-xen/ttyssh_home/xen14/boot.iso"
       boot="d"
       vfb = [ "type=vnc,vncdisplay=21,vncpasswd=mYvNcPaSs" ]
       nographic=0
       vnc=1
       stdvga=1
       serial='pty'

       Note that the above mac address will be calculated and depend on your node name: it will NOT be like  the
       above example.
