=head1 NAME

VM::Libvirt::CloneHelper - Create a bunch of cloned VMs in via libvirt.

=head1 VERSION

Version 0.1.1

=cut

our $VERSION = '0.1.1';

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    # initialize it
    my $clone_helper=VM::Libvirt::CloneHelper->new({
        blank_domains=>'/usr/local/etc/clonehelper/blank_domains',
        net_head=>'/usr/local/etc/clonehelper/net_head',
        net_tail=>'/usr/local/etc/clonehelper/net_tail',
        windows_blank=>0,
        mac_base=>'00:08:74:2d:dd:',
        ipv4_base=>'192.168.1.',
        start=>100,
        to_clone=>'baseVM',
        clone_name_base=>'foo',
        count=>10,
        verbose=>1,
        snapshot_name=>'clean',
        net=>'default',
        wait=>360,
    });

    $clone_helper->delete_vms;
    $clone_helper->clone_vms;
    $clone_helper->start_vms;
    sleep 500;
    $clone_helper->snapshot_vms;
    $clone_helper->shutdown_vms;

It should be noted that this is effectively limited to 253 VMs.

This script lib is primarily meant for creating a bunch of cloned VMs on a
box for testing purposes, so this is not really a major issue given the
design scope.

VMs should be set to us DHCP so they will get their expected IP when they boot.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 new

Initialize the module.

    net=>'default'
    Name of the libvirt network in question.

    blank_domains=>'/usr/local/etc/clonehelper/blank_domains',
    List of domains to blank via setting 'dnsmasq:option value='address=/foo.bar/'.
    If not this file does not exist, it will be skipped.

    net_head=>'/usr/local/etc/clonehelper/net_head',
    The top part of the net XML config that that dnsmasq options will be
    sandwhiched between.

    net_tail=>'/usr/local/etc/clonehelper/net_tail',
    The bottom part of the net XML config that that dnsmasq options will
    be sandwhiched between.

    windows_blank=>1,
    Blank commonly used MS domains. This is handy for reducing network noise
    when testing as well as making sure they any VMs don't do something like
    run updates when one does not want it to.

    mac_base=>'00:08:74:2d:dd:',
    Base to use for the MAC.

    ipv4_base=>'192.168.1.',
    Base to use for the IPs for adding static assignments.

    start=>'100',
    Where to start in set.

    to_clone=>'baseVM',
    The name of the VM to clone.

    clone_name_base=>'cloneVM',
    Base name to use for creating the clones. 'foo' will become 'foo$current', so
    for a start of 100, the first one would be 'foo100' and with a count of 10 the
    last will be 'foo109'.

    count=>10,
    How many clones to create.

    snapshot_name=>'clean',
    The name to use for the snapshot.

    wait=>360,
    How long to wait if auto-doing all.

=head2 recreate

Recreate the specified VM.

One optional argument is taken and that is the VM to operate on.
Otherwise all is ran for them all.

If you wish to recreate all, you should likely use recreate_all, to avoid
any issues caused by starting them all at the same time.

Snapshot all the clones

One optional argument is taken and that is the VM to operate on.

=head2 start_clones

Start all the clones

One optional argument is taken and that is the VM to operate on.
Otherwise all is ran for them all.

=head2 stop_clones

Stop all the clones. This does not stop them gracefully as we don't
need to as they are being started via snapshot.

One optional argument is taken and that is the VM to operate on.
