[et-mgmt-tools] Xen domU + koan

[John Sanabria]

Hi James,

if you want you can review the COMMANDS used by me in order to create
distro, then profile (http://pdcsrv.ece.uprm.edu/blog/?p=78) and then how
to deploy a virtual machine with koan
(http://pdcsrv.ece.uprm.edu/blog/?p=80).

Time ago, Michael in private email give a theoretical details about the
roles that plays cobbler and koan, but, since i'm a bad student, i can not
understand all (sorry Michael, but many thanks for your explaination),
however the COMMANDS in those documents, work for me!

Hi Michael, i have a question. According to figure attached, there exist a
machine where is declared a profile->distro->system. If an user is located
to remote server is possible for him execute:

koan --replace-self --server=15.20.10.10 --system=databaseserver

and then, replace the old system for the new one (databaseserver)? What is
the security restrictions to avoid that a malicious user drop a running
system?

Another one, is not possible execute:

koan --virt --server=15.20.10.10 --system=databaseserver

where, in databaseserver system is defined the physical host where the
virtual machine will be deployed? why is that possible considered?

thanks a lot! regards.
