Phoenix is our secondary VM host. It rose from the ashes of europa and xen2 It is currently in development.

Generally, we followed the instructions on the debian wiki.

apt-get install htop vim sudo qemu-kvm libvirt-bin virtinst

In order for the VMs to be on our LAN, a bridge must be set up as follows:

In /etc/network/interfaces:

Manual set up:

1) Create new bridge iterface "brctl addbr <bridge_name>"

2) Add existing interface to bridge "brctl addif <bridge_name> <iterface_name>"

3) Bring bridge up "ifconfig <bridge_name> up"

Bridging interfaces will cause the interfaces used to not have an ip address even if they are up. The bridge interface will contain an ip address.
