Install a paravirtual image
Note
As of Eucalyptus version 4.0, it is now required to pass a Eucalyptus Kernel Image (EKI) and a Eucalyptus Ramdisk Image (ERI) when uploading and registering a paravirtual Eucalyptus Machine Image (EMI) using the , , and command line tools.Once you’ve customized or acquired a paravirtual image to use with Eucalyptus, you can enable the image as an executable entity with the following steps:
- Unless a suitable kernel is already registered, bundle the kernel, upload it to Object Storage, and register it as a new EKI.
- Unless a suitable ramdisk is already registered, bundle the ramdisk, upload it to Object Storage, and register it as a new ERI
- Bundle the root disk image, which must be a Linux partition, requesting the kernel and ramdisk that you desire, upload the bundle to Object Storage, and register it as a new EMI.
Note
Note that while all users can bundle, upload and register images, only users under the account have the required permissions to upload and register kernels and ramdisks.Once you have an image that meets your needs, perform the tasks listed in this section to add the image to your cloud.
