CentOS virt - Mar 2015 - Make a installer ISO to install Xen 4.4 + CetOS 4.4

Hi,

I am Masters student at IIIT Hyderabad, India. I have made a set of scripts
to make a customized installer ISO which installs Xen4.4 + CentOS 6.6. I
have tested it on a Xen HVM VM. I would be great if anyone can test it out.

Best regards,

You've tested it out on hardware server, and it's successfully
installed and configured Xen based guests? Good.

Given that you're installing CentOS guests on a CentOS Xen hypervisor,
why would you *bother* to install n HVM, and why wouldn't you use
paravirtualization?

No I haven't tested it out hardware server, I have a single hardware server
on which CentOS 6 is running with Xen 4.4. I don't want to disturb that. I
have tested out Xen HVM virtual machine.

Xen VM in  HVM is as close as I could get to real hardware. PV mode doesn't
emulate hardware. It would be great if someone could actually test it out
on hardware server.
