ONELAB virtual machine
Contents
Introduction
ONELAB is a software tool allowing to easily make multi-code simulations. In order to check on how ONELAB actually works, you need to have a number of simulation software installed on your system. As a one-size-fits-all solution, the software and input files needed for interfaced ONELAB models are distributed altogether as a virtual machine.
Install the Virtual Machine
- Step 1 - Install Virtual Box on your computer
- Install VirtualBox on your system from the Oracle VirtualBox website. Download the binary package suitable for your operating system and follow the instructions, and the latest VirtualBox Extension Pack (There are 2 files to download).
- Step 2 - Configure Network connection between host and VM
- Launch VirtualBox. From the VirtualBox menu (under Windows: VirtualBox > File > Settings > Network ; under OSX VirtualBox > Preferences > Network), check that a "Host only Network" called "vboxnet0" is present.
- Step 3 - Download the ONELAB Virtual Machine
- by following the link Virtual Machine
- Step 4 - Import the Virtual Machine in Virtual Box
- From the VirtualBox Menu "File", import the downloaded OVA file. A new VM entry appears in the left panel.
- Step 5 - Start the Virtual Machine
- Start the VM by double-clicking its entry. Enter "olvm" for login and "olvm" again for password (without quotes). You are ready to continue with ONELAB models.
Trouble shooting
From a terminal on the host, check the network connectivity with the VM by a "ping -n 5 olvm.local".
