A friend of mine recommended checking out the Vyatta project. I was reviewing their website and saw endorsements of their product running on both Vmware and Xen. In fact, they have a Vmware virtual image and a beta XenServer image. However, I am running a typical Debian Lenny 64 DomU installed through the repositories. According to their installation documents, it states that the ISO can be installed into a DomU as well. However, they don''t provide any instructions on how to do this. Is someone in the Xen community willing to walk me through the steps to install an ISO image onto a DomU? I have been running Xen for sometime including some more advanced topics like PCI pass through for PCI devices. But I haven''t done an ISO install before.

XenServer is not open source Xen, so there won''t be direct steps. First you need to determine whether the ISO has an installer or some sort of XenServer vm image. If it is an installer, then as Fajar suggested, you can install it to HVM. You may then be able to convert it to PV. If it is a vm image, you will have to figure out what kind of image it is and try to pull the data off of it and onto whatever type of image(s) or block device(s) you want to use. You will then have to try to fire it up and hope for the best. Even in this scenario, HVM might be a better way to start, converting to PV. That is, assuming it has its own kernel. It''s really going to be trial and error, so it might even be easier to just install Vyatta on an existing PV domU and forget about the ISO image.

I didn''t realize that is what XCP was. Even so, it is presumably still not the same as the version Tom is running, since XCP presumably doesn''t have a Debian dom0, right?

I should clarify. The Vyatta package is available in three download formats. One is the Vmware image. Another is the XenServer image. The third is the ISO file. I presumed I would be using the ISO and trying to install on a DomU. I am fully aware that Xen (open source) is not the same product as XenServer. I am using Xen (open source).
