NAME

       adt-virt-xenlvm - autopkgtest virtualisation server using Xen and LVM

SYNOPSYS

       adt-virt-xenlvm [options] -- [adt-xenlvm options]

DESCRIPTION

       adt-virt-xenlvm  provides  an autopkgtest virtualisation server using a
       Xen virtual machine and LVM snapshots.  It adapts the raw functionality
       provided by the adt-xenlvm-* tools for use by autopkgtest.

       Normally adt-virt-xenlvm will be invoked by adt-run.

       adt-virt-xenlvm uses adt-xenlvm-with-testbed and adt-xenlvm-on-testbed.
       The testbed must have previously been set up with adt-xenlvm-setup.

       Neither adt-virt-xenlvm nor adt-xenlvm-with-testbed do any locking;  it
       is the the caller’s responsibility not to attempt concurrent use of any
       particular testbed.

OPTIONS

       --distro=distro
              Specifies a  different  distro  (ie,  the  use  of  a  different
              testbed).

       --nominum=nominum
              Specifies  a  different  nominum  (ie,  the  use  of a different
              testbed).

       --userv
              Specifies that the adt-xenlvm tools should not be run  directly,
              but rather via userv.  The calling user must be permitted to use
              userv root adt-xenlvm-testbed.  In  the  default  configuration,
              this means being a member of the AdtXenUs group.

       -- --adt-xenlvm-option=adt-xenlvm-value
              Following  the  first  occurrence  of  -- on the adt-virt-xenlvm
              commandline, any of the values in the  adt-xenlvm  configuration
              may be set in the usual way.  The arguments are simply passed to
              adt-virt-xenlvm.

              See /usr/share/doc/autopkgtest-xenlvm/README.gz for full details
              of adt-xenlvm.

       -- -Dvarname=value
              If  --userv was specified, options following the first -- on the
              adt-virt-xenlvm commandline are passed as  option  arguments  to
              userv.   These should normally be user-defined variable settings
              using -D which are  expected  by  the  autopkgtest-xenlvm/userv-
              target  script.  Currently only distro and nominum are expected,
              and these can be set using adt-virt-xenlvm’s own options.

       -d | --debug
              Enables debugging output.  Probably not hugely interesting.

INPUT, OUTPUT AND EXIT STATUS

       The   behaviour   of   adt-virt-xenlvm   is   as   described   by   the
       AutomatedTesting virtualisation regime specification.
