XEN-RESIZE-GUEST(8)					 Perl Programmers Reference Guide				       XEN-RESIZE-GUEST(8)

NAME
xen-resize-guest - Resize a loopback or LVM based xen guest. SYNOPSIS
xen-resize-guest [options] Help Options: --help Show help information. --manual Read the manual for this script. --version Show the version information and exit. --verbose Show diagnostic output. General Options: --add Specify the amount of space to add, e.g. --add=1gb --dir Specify the path to the loopback image root. --force Force the resize to happen without a last-chance delay. --hostname Specify the hostname of the guest to resize. OPTIONS
--add Specify the amount of storage to add to the primary disk. --dir Specify the directory where the loopback files are based. --force Don't pause for 10 seconds prior to commencing. --help Show help information. --hostname Specify the hostname to delete. --lvm Specify the volume group to use. --manual Read the manual for this script. --version Show the version number and exit. DESCRIPTION
This tool will ease the resizing of Xen guests, whether they are based upon loopback files or LVM partitions. Whilst the process of resizing a guest is pretty simple it can be fiddly to do the steps correctly in the right order: 1. Shutdown the guest. 2. Unmount the volume, if it is mounted. 3. Add to the space. 4. Check the filesystem. 5. Resize the filesystem. 6. Restart the guest. More than once I've heard of users making mistakes and breaking their filesystems; hence this tool. AUTHORS

xen-create-nfs [options] Help Options: --help Show help information. --manual Read the manual for this script. --version Show the version information and exit. --verbose Show diagnostic output. Networking Options: --broadcast The broadcast address to use when configured with a static IP. --dhcp Configure the guest to use DHCP for IP allocation. --gateway The gateway address to use when configured with a static IP. --hostname The hostname to configure for the guest. --ip The IP address to use when configured with a static IP. --netmask The netmask to use when configured with a static IP. --nameserver The nameserver to use when configured with a static IP. General options: --admins Specify which users should be setup as xen-shell admins. --force Force the overwriting of an existing configuration file. --initrd Specify the initial ramdisk for the guest. --kernel Specify the kernel to use for the guest. --memory Specify the memory to allocate for this guest. --mac Specify the MAC address to use for the guest. --template Specify an alternative template file to use. NFS options: --nfs_server Specify the NFS server to mount the root partition from. --nfs_root Specify the path, upon the NFS server, to mount. OPTIONS
--help Show help information. --hostname Specify the hostname to delete. --manual Read the manual for this script. --version Show the version number and exit. DESCRIPTION
xen-create-nfs is a simple script which allows you to easily create a single configuration file for a Xen guest which will mount its remote filesystem over an NFS root. It doesn't create any images to use for local storage, and it doesn't support more than the minimal number of options to completement the existing xen-create-image script, however it is hopefully useful.
