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?

I have seen those documents, I did not see anything that indicates how _automatic_ bridge configuration could be enabled with xl. For my specific set up I have two bridges (xenbr0 -> peth0 & xenbr1 -> peth1). If I have to configure this manually with ifcfg scripts I will, but if an automatic method is provided or is possible with xl I'd prefer to use that. -Gene On Thu, Jan 29,

Hi, after migrating to libvirt/libxl according to: https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Xen/Xen4QuickStart/Xen4Libvirt I've noticed that my Xen PV domains are being launched by qemu-system-i386 running under root privileges. I am wondering why is this? Previously no qemu process was used. If qemu is needed for some reason, are there any guidelines for non-root operation? Thanks -- Karel

I normally use the network-script parameter in the '/etc/xen/xend-config.sxp' configuration file to configure network bridges. However, the latest release of Xen4CentOS (which comes with Xen 4.4.1) has xend disabled by default. Can I continue to use network-script without xend? If not what is the recommended method for automatically configuring network bridges with the latest release of

Hi, After following the instructions here http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Xen/Xen4QuickStart and installing the kernel from Xen4 CentOS project (kernel-3.4.61-9.el6.centos.alt.x86_64) I can't use any networking because the firmware for my NIC is not available: Bringing up interface eth0.3: bnx2x 0000:02:00.0: firmware: requesting bnx2x/bnx2x-e1h-7.2.51.0.fw bnx2x:

Hi all, I'm trying to install libvirt for xen on a brand new, minimal installation of CentOS 7.5.1804. After installing the OS, I did a 'yum update' and followed the basic how-tos at https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Xen/Xen4QuickStart and https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Xen/Xen4QuickStart/Xen4Libvirt From previous experience, I know that the above steps worked fine. However,

Hi, Actually, we study virtualization on CentOS with Xen, our goal is to test if the migration of Xen with SLES 11 to CentsOS. Our first tests are ok except for one problem and I don't find any solutions on the net. I hope, you can help me. The problem is that I can't connect to my vm desktop with Virt-Viewer. I follow the installation guide available for centos?:

... changing from: <driver name='file'/> to: <driver name='tap2'/> makes the domain start without QEMU. However I see much better performance with QEMU (close to dom0, tested using simple dd writes) than with tap2 driver. Is that expected? What's best practise to file based storage on latest CentOS6-xen (Kernel 3.18.17, Xen 4.4.2-7) Are there any guides

Comparing simple dd bs=1M count=10000 on dom0 vs domU. Qemu driver is achieving pretty much the same like dom0.

Good test, non-buffered dom0 dd write speed is similar with tap2. I'll likely stay with the QEMU backend. Are there any best practises regarding security, at least if QEMU can operate under non-root account?

Hello, we have a strange problem on a fresh install of CentOS 6.5. On the server we want to use Xen to host paravirtualised guests (the system has no hardware virtualization support). To manage the domain we would like to use libvirt. Xen and libvirt are set up as described here: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Xen/Xen4QuickStart http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Xen/Xen4QuickStart/Xen4Libvirt When

Hi, I have used this http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Xen/Xen4QuickStart and everything works like a charm then I installed a VM using http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Xen/Xen4QuickStart/Xen4Libvirt only to realize later that I don't want NAT. I would want to use PCI passthrough and so i used virsh net-destroy default virsh net-undefine default and net-create /home/kartik/passthrough.xml
