Xen devel - Apr 2006 - It is possible to install Windows XP with intel vt now ?

Hi everybody,

 I seen many post on running Windows XP on the top of Xen with proper
hardware (Intel Vt) ... I would like to know if at this time, i could do
that with Xen 3.0.2-2 or Xen unstable ?  If yes, could you tell me the
procedure ...

In 2 week i will make a show with Intel to demonstrate this possibility ...
If at this time we couldn''t, i will change the contents of the show ;)

Thanks

Michael

Yes, you can install a windows xp into hvm guest.
The instructions about instalingl an unmodified os into hvm guest could be found
in the xen manual.

First you need a xp install iso file or cdrom.
And modify config file of hvm, enable cdrom='/dev/cdrom' or
cdrom='/<xp_iso_file_name>' and enable boot='d' in the
config file.
Then create a hvm guest with the config file.
After this you will see windows xp installer is running in a qemu window, and
then you just need to follow the install wizard to finish the installation.


Thanks
Yunfeng

Well, you can xen-unstable change set 9460 for the demo. 
Here is the procedure to install windows:
(1) use /etc/xen/xmexample.hvm as script
(2) change option "disk" to the image file or physical device
partition you
intend to install. For example, you want to install windows in /dev/sda6, then
you can configure:
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/sda6,hda1,w' ]

(3) change option "cdrom" to your cdrom device or ISO image, for
example,
you have a windows installation cdrom as /windows.iso, then you can configure:
cdrom='/windows.iso'

(4)change option "boot" to CD-ROM, as the following,
boot=[d]

(5) modify display to sdl

sdl=1
vnc=0
vncviewer=0

(6)after configuration, you can run
# xend start
# xm create -f /etc/xen/xmexampmle.hvm

Hope it works :-)
