Can someone tell me if I am missing something?
I do a lot of testing of linux kernels. A bunch of that I have historically done in qemu with kvm support. Unfortunately nested hardware virtualization does not work. Which means for testing for race conditions and the like I need to run the kernels in their own HVM. I use an HVM so I can update the kernel in /boot and reboot the qube and be running the kernel I am testing. It would be nice if I could use a throw-away qube that just boots with a kernel of my choosing but using an stand-alone qube is fine. Where I run into practical problems is when I want to place specific files into my testing qube. I have not figured out how to ssh into the qube from another qube, nor have I figured out how to use qvm-copy. The best I have right now is to have an external machine that I copy things to and then copy them back, which seems like a real hack. I also have not figured out how to get a serial console from such a qube only a graphical one which makes it more difficult than I would like to capture errors. I looked at installing the qubes-core-agent package in my testing HVM but it has too many dependencies and installing it makes it impossible to test what I would like to test. That is assuming someone has even packaged it for the distro I need to test on. Am I missing something? Is there an easier more straight forward way to setup a testing qube? Is it possible to setup a virtual serial console to a qube? Is it possible to ssh to a qube from another qube?
