Labs SEI >

The virtual machine (VM) is available at the RNL labs 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13 and 14.
The labs 11, 13 and 14 are open from 07:00 to 20:00.
The labs 6, 7, 8 and 10 may be open 24/7, if the students request them.

To start the SEI virtual machine in the labs, execute the following commands: 

# create empty differential disk (if none exists)
vm-create-disk /tmp/sei-diff

# start VM with specified differential disk
vm SEI2014 /tmp/sei-diff

The labs virtual machine (VM) is available. Previous work can be maintained using a differential disk i.e. a file where all changes are stored, leaving the original VM disk unchanged.

To commit all changes to the differential disk file, shutdown the VM. Then, copy the file to an external location (e.g. USB disk mounted at /media/hdd_usb).
Beware: all files in /tmp are wiped once the host Linux session is closed.

The disk image is assumed to be at the following path:
/opt/rnl-virt/SEI-2014/oel5u5-64bit-soabpm-11gr1-ps5-2-0-M-disk.vdi
The image is available for download. updated on 2014-03-01 to fix the mouse and keyboard errors - the differential disks from the previous image will not work properly.

To use the VM outside RNL, using Virtualbox, it is necessary to modify the X window server configuration file. To do the change, login as root on Oracle Linux, and execute: cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.vbox /etc/X11/xorg.conf
