Using the ACE
You can use the ACE either by running locally on your current machine, or by building appliances with the appliance-creator, or with cobbler.Running Locally
Running locally you will be using the configuration engine to modify the machine which you are currently using. You will need to download the dependencies:
yum install ace
su -
ace list appliances
ace list modules
ace install [SOME MODULE]
ace list appliances
ace list modules
ace install [SOME MODULE]
Building Appliances From Kickstart files
The ACE source repo contains several kickstart files which can be used to build appliances using the appliance creator. To build one of these files, and then launch it in kvm do the following:
git clone git://git.et.redhat.com/ace.git
su -
cd [WHEREVER THE ACE CODE IS]
cd resources
appliance-creator --name git --config gitAppliance-f10.ks
virt-image git.xml
