Is anyone using FAI <http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/> to install DomU''s? Our infrastructure is based heavily on using FAI for reproducing server configs so consolidating servers would go much nicer if if we could build the DomU''s with FAI. I''ve not put too much effort into solving my problems yet as I hope someone else ahs solved them for me :) The DomU doesn''t seem to want to net boot (I''m assuming this is a compilation issue). But even when I get past that there''s the issue of modifying the config between install (nfs root) and production (/dev/sda1 root) which is a little awkward. Is anyone doing this? It would be nice to have boot priorities for DomU''s so if the primary boot device is blank then a secondary device is used for boot strapping. Since the kernel is actually coming from the Dom0''s fielsystem this probably isn''t trivial though. -Jon _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
Hi Jonathan, Jonathan D. Proulx writes: > Is anyone using FAI <http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/> to > install DomU''s? I don''t have any experience with FAI, but I do use SystemImager (which I understand it has some similarities to FAI) to install domU''s, although from what you say, probably in a setting quite different from yours. Perhaps you can have a read at this article by Kris Buytaert (http://howto.x-tend.be/AutomatingVirtualMachineDeployment/), which is probably more similar to what you want to do?
