3 files. 5.2 KiB in total.How to use?
First, you need to run a normal Micro-CernVM, using your own context so you can login. Copy the attached files to the running VM and then login.
Inside the VM, you first need a copy of the latest Micro-CernVM release as a template for the Open Data image. Download it, inside the running VM, from: https://cernvm.cern.ch/releases/ucernvm-images.2020.07-1.cernvm.x86_64/ucernvm-v4prod.2020.07-1.cernvm.x86_64.hdd
placing it in the same directory as the other files.
Run the script:
./cernvm-script
which will produce some output on the terminal, and then finish.
The result should be a file with the title coming from the -n field in the script. In this case, the file we're interested in is:
CMS-OpenData-1.1.4.ova
which can be copied from the running VM to elsewhere.
