rs-pv2hvm

a script that performs the following steps:

  • Build server from image
  • Perform OS-level steps needed to support HVM mode
  • Image server
  • Set HVM mode flag on Cloud Server image
  • Rebuild new server on top of server created in first step

Use Case

Converts Rackspace Cloud Servers from PV to HVM mode. This increases performance and security.

Requirements

Rackspace Cloud Server image.

Compatibility

Distros

  • CentOS/RHEL 6
  • Debian 7
  • Ubuntu 12/14 Newer distro versions are only offered as PV-HVM, so no need for conversion.

RackConnect

Not yet compatible with RackConnect v3 environments, but support is planned.

Usage

python rs-pv2hvm.py $IMG

where $IMG is a Rackspace Cloud Server image UUID.
