Libvirt Utilities

netlab libvirt performs these libvirt-related functions:

• package – create a Vagrant box from a VM virtual disk in qcow2 or vmdk format.

• config – display box building recipe.

% netlab libvirt

Usage:

    netlab libvirt <action> <parameters>

The 'netlab libvirt' command can execute the following actions:

package   Help you create a Vagrant box from a qcow/vmdk virtual disk
config    Print the build recipe for the specified Vagrant box

Use 'netlab libvirt <action> --help' to get action-specific help

Building a Vagrant Box

The netlab libvirt package command:

• Creates a temporary build directory under the /tmp directory

• Copies the specified virtual disk into the build directory.

• Starts a VM from the copied virtual disk and connects your terminal to its console

• When you disconnect from the VM (follow the build recipe), stops and destroys the VM and builds a Vagrant box

• Asks you for the software version you’re using and installs the Vagrant box

usage: netlab libvirt package [-h] [-v] [-q]
              {arubacx,asav,csr,dellos10,eos,iosv,iosxr,nxos,routeros7,vptx,vsrx}
