CIMHA Deployment Instructions
=============================
CIMHA is an enhancement to ConVirt. convirt.0.8.2 version.
Cimha is distributed as a source tarball.


I. Deployment from tar ball
---------------------------
1. cd to the location where you've extracted the tarball.
   
    e.g.> cd ~/cimha.0.0.1/

2 . If you haven't already, deploy python-paramiko (an SSH client library Cimha uses for 
remote management) in your environment. Python-Paramiko is available for download at:

    http://www.lag.net/paramiko.

(follow the installation instructions at the site carefully).

Here are useful links for the rpms.
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/3714841/com/python-crypto-2.0.1-15.i586.rpm.html
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/5215518/com/python-paramiko-1.7.1-0.pm.1.i586.rpm.html


3 . Make sure Cimha has execute permissions:

    e.g. > chmod 0755 ./Cimha

4 . Run Cimha.

    e.g. > ./Cimha

5. By default Convirt would use the image store that is in the location where you untared 
the tarball, so this step is not required. But if you want to use a different location 
with more disk space, use the mk_image_store utility to create a copy of the Image Store 
(ConVirt's provisionable Virtual Machine Image repository)

    e.g. > sh ./mk_image_store <path for image store>

This will create the Image Store at the location specified.

If you run the script without any argunemt, it would create the image store under 
~/.convirt location. If you are a root user, it would create the image store at 
/var/cache/convirt.

Note : You need to modify the convirt.conf to point to the new location of the image 
store. Change the image_store and appliance_store values in the convirt.conf. 


II. Dependencies for CIMHA :

1.  heartbeat & hearbeat-gui :  heartbeat-2.1.3 & heartbeat-gui-2.1.3

2.  Kickstart Configurator : system-config-kickstart-2.7.7.1-1.fc7
