Logs/notes

This was a Virtual Machine creation in Xen Server with Windows 2008 Server OS

Creation

From the maretec user at the MrtXnSrv, 192.168.20.125 with putty was created a virtual machine to handle FTP site:

Mounted a ISO

First mounted the Windows OS folder from kepler (192.168.20.131) so that can be used for virtual machine OS install (Windows 2008 Server):

ex: sudo /bin/mount -t cifs -o [credentials] [Folder Origin location] [Folder Destination location]

>sudo /bin/mount -t cifs -o username=Administrator,password=XXXXX,workspace=MARETEC //192.168.20.131/Software/Windows_2008_Server_32bits /home/maretec/mnt/ISO

Created a new Logical Volume (LV)

It was created a LV with 200GB (50 for OS).

ex: sudo /sbin/lvcreate -n [Name of LV] -L [size of LV] [Volume group where LV will be]

>sudo /sbin/lvcreate -n vmmrtsrv08_FTP -L 200GB dados01

Created a new config file

It was created a config file based on vmmrtsrv06-1.0.cfg and adapted to ISO file and LV created.

• vmmrtsrv08_1.cfg

It was used command vi to edit the file

Created the Virtual Machine (VM) and started it

in /home/maretec/xen_configs the config file was used to create the VM

Checked port for VNC connection

>sudo /usr/sbin/xm list -l VMMRTSRV08_FTP
see in location localhost: 5904

Configuration

The VM was first installed the OS and then configured.

Accessed the domain via a console with VNC

Access the domain with a VNC client, such as <goto>TightVNC</goto>. The domain console access port with VNC is 192.168.20.125:5904.

OS Installation - in the console

See instructions in How to Install Windows on a new machine These steps include windows updates, antivirus installation, format of non system partition, enable remote desktop.

Attention - do not add the machine to the MARETEC domain!!! As this machine was to be in the DMZ, adding to the maretec domain may cause problems to the domain administrator

This was made in the installation and caused some problems.

IP changed - in the console

IP changed to fixed IP: IP:192.168.20.30

SubNet Mask  : 255.255.255.0

Default Gateway  : 192.168.20.1

Preferred DNS Server: 192.168.20.1

Changing the bridging between the LAN and the DMZ

Switching from LAN(eth0) to DMZ(eth1) - in the Xen Server

> sudo /usr/sbin/xm shutdown VMMRTSRV08_FTP                                                            (shutdown machine - appears in xm list)
> sudo /usr/sbin/xm list -l VMMRTSRV08_FTP > xen_configs/VMMRTSRV08_1.cfg                              (see actual config)
> sudo /usr/sbin/xm delete VMMRTSRV08_FTP                                                              (delete machine - does not appear in xm list)
> cp xen_configs/VMMRTSRV08_1.cfg xen_configs/VMMRTSRV08_2.cfg                                         (create new config - 2)
> vim xen_configs/VMMRTSRV08_2.cfg                                                                     (start edit config - 2)
08_2.cfg> (bridge eth1) [click insert twice to replace 0 with 1]
08_2.cfg> :w (to write file)
08_2.cfg> ZZ (to save and exit)
> cd /xen_configs                                                                                      (go to config dir)
> sudo /usr/sbin/xm new -F VMMRTSRV08_2.cfg                                                            (create new machine)
> sudo /usr/sbin/xm start VMMRTSRV08_FTP                                                               (start new machine)

IP change - in the console

Then, use TighVNC to enter the domain through console access as ???user???:

• Network And Sharing Center--> Local Area Connection (view status) --> Properties --> TCP/IPv4
• Static ip-->192.168.21.30
• Subnet mask-->255.255.255.0
• Gateway--> 192.168.21.1
• Save.

Allow Remote Desktop in FireWall Settings

Open Ports

Finally, you need to ask Marco Reis from Conexa to configure the router firewall so it links the ports between the LAN firewall and the DMZ firewall (reverse tunneling, height port). You might as well ask also to open up ports 21, 20, 80, 443 and 8080.
