Abstract
Example implementations relate to enabling the creation and/or modification of artifacts on an operating system (OS) volume. A manager may be provided in communication with an appliance hosting an OS volume. The OS volume may be mounted on the manager to provide permissions to access the OS volume from the manager. Artifacts to be implemented on the mounted OS volume may be created and/or modified.
Claims20
A manager in communication with an appliance hosting an operating system (OS) volume comprising:
- an identification code to mount a hosted OS volume associated with the identification code on the manager, wherein mounting the OS volume on the manager enables access permissions to the OS volume from the manager;
- and
- an interactive environment to enable creation or modification of artifacts on the mounted OS volume through the appliance without booting the OS volume on a server, wherein the artifacts personalize the OS volume.
A method comprising:
- cloning an image of an operating system (OS) volume hosted on an appliance for deploying OS volumes;
- mounting the OS volume on a manager in communication with the appliance through a management network;
- through an interactive environment of the manager, creating or modifying artifacts to be implemented on the OS volume;
- and
- testing the artifacts without booting the OS volume.
A non-transitory machine readable storage medium comprising instructions executable by a processor for deploying an operating system (OS) volume with personalized artifacts, the machine-readable storage medium comprising:
- instructions to cause the processor to mount the OS volume on a manager having an identification code associated with an identification code of the OS volume, wherein mounting the OS volume on the manager enables access permissions to the OS volume from the manager through an appliance hosting the OS volume;
- instructions to cause the processor to enable creation or modification of artifacts on the mounted OS volume, wherein the artifacts personalize the OS volume;
- and
- testing the artifacts without booting the OS volume on the server.
