s390x architecture uses zipl as bootloader. When used in combination with the vm element it replaces the existing bootloader element. It's mandatory for s390x vm images. Use cases --------- * Allow users to create s390x images that run on nova with s390x libvirt/kvm backend * Building nodepool images for s390x third party CI Supported Distros ----------------- The following listing shows all Distros that officially support s390x and how those Distros are supported in DIB with this patch. * SLES - not supported (SLES is not supported in DIB) * RHEL - not suppoprted (RHEL is not supported as KVM guest on s390x, therefore there's no rhel7 qcow image for s390x available like it is for other archictectures) * Ubuntu - supported Ubuntu images can for example be built using the following commands: $ disk-image-create ubuntu-minimal zipl vm $ disk-image-create ubuntu-minimal zipl $ disk-image-create ubuntu zipl vm Testing ------- Cross architecture building of s390x images is not supported so far. The plan is to set up a ThirdParty CI that builds the image for s390x and provides the logs.

Image building tools for OpenStack ================================== ``diskimage-builder`` is a flexible suite of components for building a wide-range of disk images, filesystem images and ramdisk images for use with OpenStack. This repository has the core functionality for building such images, both virtual and bare metal. Images are composed using `elements`; while fundamental elements are provided here, individual projects have the flexibility to customise the image build with their own elements. For example:: $ DIB_RELEASE=trusty disk-image-create -o ubuntu-trusty.qcow2 vm ubuntu will create a bootable Ubuntu Trusty based ``qcow2`` image. ``diskimage-builder`` is useful to anyone looking to produce customised images for deployment into clouds. These tools are the components of `TripleO <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/TripleO>`__ that are responsible for building disk images. They are also used extensively to build images for testing OpenStack itself, particularly with `nodepool <https://docs.openstack.org/infra/system-config/nodepool.html>`__. Platforms supported include Ubuntu, CentOS, RHEL and Fedora.
