ONELAB virtual machine

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 for all interfaced clients, a specific virtual machine has been designed to have ONELAB models and interfaced client software installed on it with minimal user interaction. For the installation of the virtual machine on your system, proceed as follows.

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".
