Rough steps:

  1. Download the Qumulo free trial as an OVA from the trial page: https://qumulo.com/get-started/free-trial/
  2. Download the domain XML files from this gist.
  3. Extract each of the OVAs using tar.
  4. Convert each of the VMDK disk images (qkiosk-diskX.vmdk where X is 1 through 5) to QCOW2 images using qemu-img convert. For example: 
    for disk_id in 1 2 3 4 5; do
  qemu-img convert -p -f vmdk -O qcow2 "qkiosk-disk${disk_id}.vmdk" "qkiosk-disk${disk_id}.qcow2"
done
  5. Create 4 sets of disk images. For example: 
    for machine_id in 01 02 03 04; do
  for disk_id in 1 2 3 4 5; do
    cp -v "qkiosk-disk${disk_id}.qcow2" "${image_basepath}/qumulo-${machine_id}-0${disk_id}.qcow2"
    chown qemu:root "${image_basepath}/qumulo-${machine_id}-0${disk_id}.qcow2"
  done
done
  6. Put the QCOW images in a reasonable place on your KVM/QEMU server.
  7. Create a bridged or NAT network on your host machine that has IPv6 enabled and working.
  8. Update the paths (both in the <devices><disk> section AND the <qemu:commandline> section) to point to where you put the QCOW disk images
  9. Update the source configuration in the <interface type='network'> section of each domain XML file to point to the bridged network.
  10. Import each of the domain XML files using virsh define --file.
  11. Launch all the VMs.
  12. Open a web browser and try accessing one of the VMs over its bridged network IP address. It should respond on port 443.
  13. Agree to the EULA and follow the steps to create a cluster. If you are only seeing one node in the list of nodes, IPv6 and/or networking is not working properly.

Notes on Storage

Qumulo is very particular about the type of disks. They must be detected as NVMe disks in order for Qumulo to consider using them. This is why the domain XML provides the storage disk images via command-line arguments so that the type of disk can be overridden to appear as NVMe.

Root Shell Access

If you need to shell into any of the VMs (SSH over IPv6) or get access in a TTY, the username is admin and the password is Admin123.

Generating New Unique MAC Addresses

If you need new MAC addresses to use for any of the VMs, you can use the Python script below to generate one and then you can change the address in the domain XML under the <mac> tag of the <interface type='network'> tag:

import sys
import random

def randomMAC(type="xen"):
    """Generate a random MAC address.

    52-54-00 used by qemu/kvm

    The OUI list is available at http://standards.ieee.org/regauth/oui/oui.txt.

    The remaining 3 fields are random, with the first bit of the first
    random field set 0.

    >>> randomMAC().startswith("00:16:3E")
    True
    >>> randomMAC("foobar").startswith("00:16:3E")
    True
    >>> randomMAC("xen").startswith("00:16:3E")
    True
    >>> randomMAC("qemu").startswith("52:54:00")
    True

    @return: MAC address string
    """
    ouis = { 'xen': [ 0x00, 0x16, 0x3E ], 'qemu': [ 0x52, 0x54, 0x00 ] }

    try:
        oui = ouis[type]
    except KeyError:
        oui = ouis['xen']

    mac = oui + [
            random.randint(0x00, 0xff),
            random.randint(0x00, 0xff),
            random.randint(0x00, 0xff)]
    return ':'.join(map(lambda x: "%02x" % x, mac))

if __name__ == "__main__":
    print(randomMAC("xen" if len(sys.argv) < 2 else sys.argv[1]))
