virt-sysprep - Reset or unconfigure a virtual machine so clones can be made

=head1 КОРОТКИЙ ОПИС

 virt-sysprep [--параметри] -d назва_домену

 virt-sysprep [--options] -a disk.img [-a disk.img ...]

=head1 ОПИС

Virt-sysprep "resets" or "unconfigures" a virtual machine so that clones can
be made from it.  Steps in this process include removing SSH host keys,
removing persistent network MAC configuration, and removing user accounts.
Each step can be enabled or disabled as required.

Virt-sysprep modifies the guest or disk image I<in place>.  The guest must
be shut down.  If you want to preserve the existing contents of the guest,
you I<must copy or clone the disk first>.  See L</COPYING AND CLONING>
below.

You do I<not> need to run virt-sysprep as root.  In fact we'd generally
recommend that you don't.  The time you might want to run it as root is when
you need root in order to access the disk image, but even in this case it
would be better to change the permissions on the disk image to be writable
as the non-root user running virt-sysprep.

"Sysprep" stands for "system preparation" tool.  The name comes from the
Microsoft program C<sysprep.exe> which is used to unconfigure Windows
machines in preparation for cloning them.  Having said that, virt-sysprep
does I<not> currently work on Microsoft Windows guests.  We plan to support
Windows sysprepping in a future version, and we already have code to do it.

=head1 ПАРАМЕТРИ

=over 4

=item B<--help>

Показати коротку довідку.

=item B<-a> файл

=item B<--add> файл

Додати I<файл>, який має бути образом диска з віртуальної машини.

The format of the disk image is auto-detected.  To override this and force a
particular format use the I<--format> option.

=item B<-c> адреса

=item B<--connect> адреса

If using libvirt, connect to the given I<URI>.  If omitted, then we connect
to the default libvirt hypervisor.

If you specify guest block devices directly (I<-a>), then libvirt is not
used at all.

=item B<-d> гість

=item B<--domain> гість

Add all the disks from the named libvirt guest.  Domain UUIDs can be used
instead of names.

=item B<-n>

=item B<--dry-run>

Perform a read-only "dry run" on the guest.  This runs the sysprep
operation, but throws away any changes to the disk at the end.

=item B<--enable> operations

Choose which sysprep operations to perform.  Give a comma-separated list of
operations, for example:

 --enable ssh-hostkeys,udev-persistent-net

would enable ONLY C<ssh-hostkeys> and C<udev-persistent-net> operations.

If the I<--enable> option is not given, then we default to trying most
sysprep operations (see I<--list-operations> to show which are enabled).

Regardless of the I<--enable> option, sysprep operations are skipped for
some guest types.

Use I<--list-operations> to list operations supported by a particular
version of virt-sysprep.

See L</OPERATIONS> below for a list and an explanation of each operation.

=item B<--format> raw|qcow2|..

=item B<--format> auto

The default for the I<-a> option is to auto-detect the format of the disk
image.  Using this forces the disk format for I<-a> options which follow on
the command line.  Using I<--format auto> switches back to auto-detection
for subsequent I<-a> options.

Приклад:

 virt-sysprep --format raw -a disk.img

forces raw format (no auto-detection) for C<disk.img>.

 virt-sysprep --format raw -a disk.img --format auto -a another.img

forces raw format (no auto-detection) for C<disk.img> and reverts to
auto-detection for C<another.img>.

If you have untrusted raw-format guest disk images, you should use this
option to specify the disk format.  This avoids a possible security problem
with malicious guests (CVE-2010-3851).

=item B<--list-operations>

List the operations supported by the virt-sysprep program.

These are listed one per line, with one or more single-space-separated
fields, eg:

 $ virt-sysprep --list-operations
 bash-history * Remove the bash history in the guest
 cron-spool * Remove user at-jobs and cron-jobs
 dhcp-client-state * Remove DHCP client leases
 dhcp-server-state * Remove DHCP server leases
 [etc]

The first field is the operation name, which can be supplied to
I<--enable>.  The second field is a C<*> character if the operation is
enabled by default or blank if not.  Subsequent fields on the same line are
the description of the operation.

Before libguestfs 1.17.33 only the first (operation name) field was shown
and all operations were enabled by default.

=item B<-q>

=item B<--quiet>

Не виводити повідомлень до журналу.

To enable detailed logging of individual file operations, use I<-x>.

=item B<--selinux-relabel>

=item B<--no-selinux-relabel>

I<--selinux-relabel> forces SELinux relabelling next time the guest boots.
I<--no-selinux-relabel> disables relabelling.

The default is to try to detect if SELinux relabelling is required.  See
L</SELINUX RELABELLING> below for more details.

=item B<-v>

=item B<--verbose>

Увімкнути докладний показ повідомлень з метою діагностики.

=item B<-V>

=item B<--version>

Показати дані щодо версії і завершити роботу.

=item B<-x>

Увімкнути трасування викликів програмного інтерфейсу libguestfs.

@EXTRA_OPTIONS@

=back

=head1 ДІЇ

If the I<--enable> option is I<not> given, then most sysprep operations are
enabled.

Use C<virt-sysprep --list-operations> to list all operations for your
virt-sysprep binary.  The ones which are enabled by default are marked with
a C<*> character.  Regardless of the I<--enable> option, sysprep operations
are skipped for some guest types.

Operations can be individually enabled using the I<--enable> option.  Use a
comma-separated list, for example:

 virt-sysprep --enable=ssh-hostkeys,udev-persistent-net [тощо]

Future versions of virt-sysprep may add more operations.  If you are using
virt-sysprep and want predictable behaviour, specify only the operations
that you want to have enabled.

C<*> = enabled by default when no I<--enable> option is given.

@OPERATIONS@

=head1 КОПІЮВАННЯ ТА КЛОНУВАННЯ

Virt-sysprep can be used as part of a process of cloning guests, or to
prepare a template from which guests can be cloned.  There are many
different ways to achieve this using the virt tools, and this section is
just an introduction.

A virtual machine (when switched off) consists of two parts:

=over 4

=item I<налаштування>

The configuration or description of the guest.  eg. The libvirt XML (see
C<virsh dumpxml>), the running configuration of the guest, or another
external format like OVF.

Some configuration items that might need to be changed:

=item *

назва

=item *

UUID

=item *

шлях до блокових пристроїв

=item *

MAC-адреса мережевої картки

=item I<блокові пристрої>

One or more hard disk images, themselves containing files, directories,
applications, kernels, configuration, etc.

Some things inside the block devices that might need to be changed:

=head2 КОПІЮВАННЯ БЛОКОВОГО ПРИСТРОЮ

Starting with an original guest, you probably wish to copy the guest block
device and its configuration to make a template.  Then once you are happy
with the template, you will want to make many clones from it.

                        virt-sysprep
                             |
                             v
 original guest --------> template ---------->
                                      \------> cloned
                                       \-----> guests
                                        \---->

You can, of course, just copy the block device on the host using L<cp(1)> or
L<dd(1)>.

                   dd                 dd
 original guest --------> template ---------->
                                      \------> cloned
                                       \-----> guests
                                        \---->

There are some smarter (and faster) ways too:

=over 4

=item *

                          snapshot
                template ---------->
                            \------> cloned
                             \-----> guests
                              \---->

Use the block device as a backing file and create a snapshot on top for each
guest.  The advantage is that you don't need to copy the block device (very
fast) and only changes are stored (less storage required).

Note that writing to the backing file once you have created guests on top of
it is not possible: you will corrupt the guests.

Tools that can do this include: L<qemu-img(1)> (with the I<create -f qcow2
-o backing_file> option), L<lvcreate(8)> (I<--snapshot> option).  Some
filesystems (such as btrfs) and most Network Attached Storage devices can
also create cheap snapshots from files or LUNs.

=item *

Get your NAS to snapshot and/or duplicate the LUN.

=item *

Prepare your template using L<virt-sparsify(1)>.  See below.

=back

=head2 VIRT-CLONE

A separate tool, L<virt-clone(1)>, can be used to duplicate the block device
and/or modify the external libvirt configuration of a guest.  It will reset
the name, UUID and MAC address of the guest in the libvirt XML.

L<virt-clone(1)> does not use libguestfs and cannot look inside the disk
image.  This was the original motivation to write virt-sysprep.

=head2 SPARSIFY

              virt-sparsify
 original guest --------> template

L<virt-sparsify(1)> can be used to make the cloning template smaller, making
it easier to compress and/or faster to copy.

Notice that since virt-sparsify also copies the image, you can use it to
make the initial copy (instead of C<dd>).

=head2 ЗМІНА РОЗМІРІВ

                         virt-resize
                template ---------->
                            \------> cloned
                             \-----> guests
                              \---->

If you want to give people cloned guests, but let them pick the size of the
guest themselves (eg. depending on how much they are prepared to pay for
disk space), then instead of copying the template, you can run
L<virt-resize(1)>.  Virt-resize performs a copy and resize, and thus is
ideal for cloning guests from a template.

=head1 БЕЗПЕКА

Although virt-sysprep removes some sensitive information from the guest, it
does not pretend to remove all of it.  You should examine the L</OPERATIONS>
above and the guest afterwards.

Sensitive files are simply removed.  The data they contained may still exist
on the disk, easily recovered with a hex editor or undelete tool.  Use
L<virt-sparsify(1)> as one way to remove this content.  See also the
L<scrub(1)> command to get rid of deleted content in directory entries and
inodes.

=head2 БАЗА ВИПАДКОВОСТІ

I<(Цей розділ стосується лише гостьових систем Linux)>

The virt-sysprep C<random-seed> operation writes a few bytes of randomness
from the host into the guest's random seed file.

If this is just done once and the guest is cloned from the same template,
then each guest will start with the same entropy, and things like SSH host
keys and TCP sequence numbers may be predictable.

Therefore you should arrange to add more randomness I<after> cloning from a
template too, which can be done by just enabling the C<random-seed>
operation:

 cp template.img newguest.img
 virt-sysprep --enable random-seed -a newguest.img

=head2 ПОВТОРНЕ ВСТАНОВЛЕННЯ МІТОК SELINUX

I<(Цей розділ стосується лише гостьових систем Linux, у яких
використовується лише SELinux)>

If any new files are created by virt-sysprep, then virt-sysprep touches
C</.autorelabel> so that these will be correctly labelled by SELinux the
next time the guest is booted.  This process interrupts boot and can take
some time.

You can force relabelling for all guests by supplying the
I<--selinux-relabel> option.

You can disable relabelling entirely by supplying the
I<--no-selinux-relabel> option.

=head1 ЕКРАНУВАННЯ СИМВОЛІВ У ОБОЛОНЦІ

Libvirt guest names can contain arbitrary characters, some of which have
meaning to the shell such as C<#> and space.  You may need to quote or
escape these characters on the command line.  See the shell manual page
L<sh(1)> for details.
