Hi, a read about XEN in a linux magazine. I''m looking to a way to make two virtual machine into a single server to made a machine to use as backend an the other to use as frontend. I tried to install XEN from binary provided with the magazine.... but.... in my SO (linux SUSE 9.2) i havent istalled gcc... i istalled from yast RPM... and then i havent bridge utils.... donwloaded and installed.... the istallation check don''t recognyze my bridge utils... so i made a simbolic link into dir /usr/bin that point to the real location of the utils... the chek was passed... i aven''t be able to install twisted.... i download.. and tried to istall without success... i haven''t python disutils i downloaded and i tried to install without success.... so i think to renounce to install XEN when.... i upgrading suse 9.2 to 9.3.... and XEN istallation is included into YAST panel control i''m start the istallation on XEN... suse ask what kind of programs istall with XEN.... 1Hour of waiting and.... nothing... the istallation is compleate and i return to my suse desktop.... i restart SO... but grub menu say ''SUSE 9,3'' ''FLOPPY'' ''SUSE failsafe''.... i see that i have istalled for xample xend and xensv command i''ve istalled XEN correctly? i must only configure it? How install my new virtual domains? i want to install e slackware domain... and a debian domain too... how configure it and monitor it too? i hope somebody can give me an help thank you Michele - Italia _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Have you installed the Xen packages using the Yast rpm manager? Those *should* add a Xen boot option to your grub config (and it should take a couple of minutes, not an hour as it did to generate a guest filesystem).> How install my new virtual domains? > i want to install e slackware domain... and a debian domain too... > how configure it and monitor it too?For Debian, install it using "debootstrap" - there''s a guide in the Appendix of the user manual. For SuSE virtual machines, create a partition or disk file and use Yast to install into a directory. For many distros, the easiest way to install is to reboot using their install CD, install onto a spare partition on your hard drive, then boot back into your Xenified dom0 distro and point a domain config file at that partition.

How can see if xend is up? i tryed with the command xend status but i have no output i try to do xend start i haven''t no output too i try to run xensv when i launch xensv start i have a warning... sound like...

(my test pc have 512Mb) thank you for your help Michele _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

check - *) /var/log/xend.log *) /var/log/xend-debug.log *) run xm list to see if xend did start and is working Btw, just before the weekend I installed Suse 9.3 , selected Xen during the install and works straight out of the box so far.
