We are moving toward building all Python packages for SONiC as wheel packages rather than Debian packages. This will also allow us to more easily transition to Python 3. Python files are now packaged in "sonic-utilities" Pyhton wheel. Data files are now packaged in "sonic-utilities-data" Debian package. **- How I did it** - Build and install sonic-utilities as a Python package - Remove explicit installation of wheel dependencies, as these will now get installed implicitly by pip when installing sonic-utilities as a wheel - Build and install new sonic-utilities-data package to install data files required by sonic-utilities applications - Update all references to sonic-utilities scripts/entrypoints to either reference the new /usr/local/bin/ location or remove absolute path entirely where applicable Submodule updates: * src/sonic-utilities aa27dd9...2244d7b (5): > Support building sonic-utilities as a Python wheel package instead of a Debian package (#1122) > [consutil] Display remote device name in show command (#1120) > [vrf] fix check state_db error when vrf moving (#1119) > [consutil] Fix issue where the ConfigDBConnector's reference is missing (#1117) > Update to make config load/reload backward compatible. (#1115) * src/sonic-ztp dd025bc...911d622 (1): > Update paths to reflect new sonic-utilities install location, /usr/local/bin/ (#19) |

HOWTO Use Virtual Switch (VM)
- Install libvirt, kvm, qemu
sudo apt-get install libvirt-clients qemu-kvm libvirt-bin
- Create SONiC VM for single ASIC HWSKU
$ sudo virsh
Welcome to virsh, the virtualization interactive terminal.
Type: 'help' for help with commands
'quit' to quit
virsh #
virsh # create sonic.xml
Domain sonic created from sonic.xml
virsh #
- Create SONiC VM for multi-ASIC HWSKU Update sonic_multiasic.xml with the external interfaces required for HWSKU.
$ sudo virsh
Welcome to virsh, the virtualization interactive terminal.
Type: 'help' for help with commands
'quit' to quit
virsh #
virsh # create sonic_multiasic.xml
Domain sonic created from sonic.xml
virsh #
Once booted up, create a file "asic.conf" with the content:
NUM_ASIC=<Number of asics>
under /usr/share/sonic/device/x86_64-kvm_x86_64-r0/
Also, create a "topology.sh" file which will simulate the internal
asic connectivity of the hardware under
/usr/share/sonic/device/x86_64-kvm_x86_64-r0/<HWSKU>
The HWSKU directory will have the required files like port_config.ini
for each ASIC.
Having done this, a new service "topology.service" will be started
during bootup which will invoke topology.sh script.
3. Access virtual switch:
1. Connect SONiC VM via console
```
$ telnet 127.0.0.1 7000
```
OR
2. Connect SONiC VM via SSH
1. Connect via console (see 3.1 above)
2. Request a new DHCP address
```
sudo dhclient -v
```
3. Connect via SSH
```
$ ssh -p 3040 admin@127.0.0.1
```
