LNST is targeted primarily at physical machines and testing on real hardware. However, sometimes you don't have the time and/or resources to prepare the desired networking setup. Or perhaps, you would like to rapidly test a lot of various network configurations and setups without any manual intervention. These are the times when virtualization comes to play. LNST can work with virtual machines just as well as with your physical ones, and if you meet certain conditions, LNST can handle ** automatically many more tasks than it ever could with physical machines.** This page will explain how to configure LNST to take the full advantage of this feature.

  • LNST works great with virtual machines
  • You can set them up manually and work with them as if they were physical, or you can take advantage of the libvirt integration and let LNST configure the machines for you
  • All the machines must be on the controller
  • Must be root

Configuration

1. Set Up the Controller interface

  • Configure the controller interface

2. Add the Machine to Your Pool

  • No test interfaces
