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:

Hello, I posted a question over at xenproject.org but it was recommended that I send out a message here for help. My post there: http://www.xenproject.org/help/questions-and-answers/vanilla-pv-centos-guest-via-kickstart-centos-6-6,-xen-4-4.html The TL;DR is: Everything I've found to kickstart a new vanilla rhel/centos guest points to specifying a kernel & and initrd- for RHEL/Centos 5.

In honor of Xen Doc Day, I've put up some basic HOWTOs for setting up bridging on CentOS 6 and 7. I'm far from an expert, so I'd appreciate any feedback. The howtos can be found here: https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Xen/Xen4QuickStart/Xen4Networking6 https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Xen/Xen4QuickStart/Xen4Networking7 -George

So going forward, we're moving the CentOS 6 Xen packages from the custom "xen4" repos that were introduced several years ago, to repos based on its position as a sub-project of the Virt Sig. That will make things consistent between all the sigs, as well as between CentOS 6 and 7 Xen packages. Unfortunately, XSA-156 came up rather suddenly and is a bit blocked by this transition.

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?:

Hi Folks, I make I new approach to pimp up my xen-Kernel in higher version-numbers. Currently I run a selfcompiled 2.6.27-Kernel from: hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/ext/linux-2.6.27-xen.hg In the next step I want to run the kernel from jemery: git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeremy/xen.git I tried the last couple of days to get pci-passtrough work with jeremys

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

I have signed and pushed the libvirt-1.2.15-3 and kenel-3.18.12-11 RPMs into the xen4 repository for CentOS-6.6. These have been in virt6-testing for a few months now with no negative reports. They should be available on mirror.centos.org in 30 or so minutes and externally as those mirrors update themselves against mirror. Thanks, Johnny Hughes -------------- next part -------------- A

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, 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
