Companion script to import-image script (https://gist.github.com/jasonpincin/4958050), this script is intended for running against VM's in the global zone. It will snapshot them, and send them off to the image server (equipped with the import-image script).

mkimg

#!/usr/bin/bash

# Creates an image from a VM
#   WARNING: You should run sm-prepare-image inside the zone
#     BEFORE running this script!
#
#   This script requires the smartos-image-server to be 
#   equipped with the import-image script:
#     https://gist.github.com/jasonpincin/4958050
#
#   This script stops the VM, takes a snapshot, and sends the 
#   snapshot to a smartos-image-server equipped with the 
#   import-image script, which generates the manifest and reloads 
#   the image server.
#
# Usage:
#   mkimg <uuid> <name> <version> <description>
#

# CONFIGURE THESE LINES FOR YOUR ENVIRONMENT
IMGSERVER="datasets.myorg.com" # The FQDN of the smartos-image-server equipped with import-image
LOGIN="node" # The user to login to the image server as
# NO MORE CONFIG NEEDED
