NAME

       dtc_setup_disk - setup LVM disks for using it as a VM

SYNOPSIS

       dtc_setup_vps_disk.sh VPS_NUMBER HDD_SIZE SWAP_SIZE [ lvm|loopback ]

DESCRIPTION

       dtc_setup_vps_disk.sh  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 is used to create partitions to be used by a VPS later on.  It will create a normal partition
       that will be used as a root disk, and a swap partition.

       dtc_setup_disk  is  to  be used by the dtc-xen SOAP server, but can also be used as a standalone userland
       tool.

       If the partition(s) exists, then this script will delete it/them first.

OPTIONS

       VPS_NUMBER has to be a number between 01 and 19. Let's  say  the  number  is  16,  and  that  dtc-xen  is
       configured  to  use  the  volume  group  called  lvm1,  then  this script will create /dev/lvm1/xen16 and
       /dev/lvm1/xen16swap.

       HDD_SIZE Size in MB of the VPS partition to create.

       SWAP_SIZE Size in MB of the VPS swap partition to create. If the dtc-xen SOAP server is  used  to  create
       the VPS, then it will create a swap partition of the exact same size as the memory.

       IMAGE_TYPE This parameter can have 2 values: either lvm or loopback. If ommited, then lvm is used. If lvm
       is used, then this script will create a partition using lvmcreate, otherwise  it  will  create  an  image
       file. Both will later be used for the VPS.

EXAMPLE

       dtc_setup_vps_disk 04 15360 256 lvm

       This  will create 2 LVM partition to be used by the VPS named xen04, the first one being a root partition
       of 15 GB, and the second one being a swap partition of 256 MB.
