[alphv_blackcat] Missing VMs configuration for `leomon` (KVM server)

[arty-hlr]

Hi,

In step 5 a few commands are mentioned to take snapshots, but the initial configuration was not mentioned before so that we can create those VMs.

Here is a draft I put together for ansible:

- name: Copy preseed file
  ansible.builtin.copy:
    src: "files/preseed.cfg"
    dest: "/root/preseed.cfg"

- name: Create debian-1 VM
  ansible.builtin.shell: >
    virt-install 
    --name debian-1 
    --memory 1024 
    --install debian13 
    --graphics none 
    --console pty,target_type=serial 
    --noautoconsole 
    --initrd-inject /root/preseed.cfg 
    --extra-args="console=ttyS0,115200n8 preseed/file=/preseed.cfg"

- name: Create debian-2 VM
  ansible.builtin.shell: >
    virt-install 
    --name debian-2 
    --memory 1024 
    --install debian13 
    --graphics none 
    --console pty,target_type=serial 
    --noautoconsole 
    --initrd-inject /root/preseed.cfg 
    --extra-args="console=ttyS0,115200n8 preseed/file=/preseed.cfg"

- name: Sleep until VM installation is done
  pause:
    minutes: 10

- name: Start VMs
  ansible.builtin.shell: |
    virsh start debian-1
    virsh start debian-2

- name: Wait for VMs to be reachable
  pause:
    minutes: 3

- name: Check VMs dhcp leases
  ansible.builtin.shell: |
    virsh net-dhcp-leases default
  register: dhcp_leases
  changed_when: False

- name: Show VMs dhcp leases
  debug:
    msg: "{{ dhcp_leases.stdout_lines }}"

- name: Shutdown VMs
  ansible.builtin.shell: |
    virsh shutdown debian-1
    virsh shutdown debian-2

- name: Wait for VMs to shutdown
  pause:
    minutes: 1

- name: Take snapshots of VMs
  ansible.builtin.shell: |
    virsh snapshot-create-as debian-1 snapshot1 --description "Initial snapshot"
    virsh snapshot-create-as debian-2 snapshot1 --description "Initial snapshot"

- name: List snapshots of VMs
  ansible.builtin.shell: |
    virsh snapshot-list debian-1
    virsh snapshot-list debian-2
  register: snapshot_list

- name: Show snapshots of VMs
  debug:
    msg: "{{ snapshot_list.stdout_lines }}"

- name: Start VMs
  ansible.builtin.shell: |
    virsh start debian-1
    virsh start debian-2

- name: List VMs
  ansible.builtin.shell: virsh list
  register: vms_list

- name: Show VMs list
  debug:
    msg: "{{ vms_list.stdout_lines }}"
