The subject says it all. I got CentOS 6.4 installed and then converted it to boot into the Xen kernel, using the C6.4 system as its dom0. But now I'm uncertain how to put a C6.4 domU on the result. Which tools are recommended?

Which tools are recommended?You can use virt-manager either from the Dom0 server (if it has all the GUI stuff and virt-manger installed) ... OR ... by connecting to the Dom0 using virt-manager from a Linux workstation. See my xen4centos libvirt article here: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Xen/Xen4QuickStart/Xen4Libvirt You can also use Xen XM tools with the default install ... OR ... if you do not plan on using libvirt at all, you can setup and use Xen XL tools (if using libvirt, you have to use xend and Xen XM): XM Tools: http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/XM XL Tools: http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/XL Thanks, Johnny Hughes -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Is there a reason you say you have to use xend rather than libxl with libvirt? Dusty
