Try "yum xen" - what happens? jerry -- "Oh joy! Rapture!

Salut! There''s probably a xen-tools package you need to install. If I''ve guessed the package name right then a "yum install xen-tools" should work. Otherwise, do a "yum search xen" and see what comes up. If you''re booting on the Xen kernel successfully then you''re well on your way to having everything working. You might also want to install virt-manager, which I believe is supplied with RHEL5 - it''s a friendly GUI interface to Xen and from the screenshots I''ve seen it looks quite good :-) Please let us know if you have any other problems. Bonne chance! Mark -- Dave: Just a question. What use is a unicyle with no seat? And no pedals! Mark: To answer a question with a question: What use is a skateboard? Dave: Skateboards have wheels.

Trying to help BC (before coffee...:-)> and there is no package called "xen" their names are "xen-libs.i386 > kernel-xen-devel.i686 kernel-xen.i686"I see - you need to add the "RHEL Virtualization" channel (repo?), then "yum install xen virt-manager". However, I''m unfamiliar with how to do this in 5 with yum... jerry -- "Oh joy! Rapture!

You merely installed the kernel and userspace libraries, none of the tools / commands. At the very least you want to install kernel-xen xen xen-libs libvirt python-virtinst virt-manager If you select ''Customize package selection'' in Anaconda when doing the initial host OS installation, there will be a ''Virtualization'' option. Selecting this option will ensure that everything Xen related will be installed out-of-the box, so that from the very first reboot after install you''ll have a fully-operational Xen system Regards, Dan. -- |=- Red Hat, Engineering, Emerging Technologies, Boston. +1 978 392 2496 -=| |=- Perl modules: http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ -=| |=- Projects: http://freshmeat.net/~danielpb/ -=| |=- GnuPG: 7D3B9505 F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 -=| _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

>>>i ''m working wth RHLE5 beta2.When you installed RHEL5 to begin with, you should have used the correct code. Unless you''ve done a lot of configuration work with your installation, easiest thing is probably just to reinstall with the right install code to begin with. RHEL5b2 Xen was entirely intractable for me. I recommend something else for the beginning of a Xen journey. Suse10 or Xen Enterprise if you''re looking for something prepackaged. Or wait for the RHEL5 GA. (although without question I think one should learn to compile and install Xen from latest at this stage of its development).

RHEL5 beta 2 is a publicly available *BETA*. You can point yum to a copy of the DVD on-line for installation of the individual chunks, including the VT repository which contains the Xen related packages.> RHEL5b2 Xen was entirely intractable for me.

I''m not a fan of the graphical installers) Eventually, I installed all the xen stuff "by hand" by downloading the RPMS from RHN. (yum didn''t work- long story. essentially, the RHN satalite server my client was using doesn''t work with RHEL5 yet) It was kindof a pain chasing down all the dependencies, but it worked in the end. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

This is the sort of thing I''ve done with local downloads of the RPM''s for a local yum repository, to be able to mix and match non-RedHat RPM''s in a local setting and to eliminate a lot of external traffic from up2date itself, and to be able to peek into the the RPM''s directly on that server. It''s legal as near as I can tell as long as you have RedHat licenses on all the clients using that central repository. I''ve seen and yelled at people using this stunt to distributie packages to a bunch of "licensed" machines, but unly registering the licenses when they felt like it, to effectively extend their licenses. I consider this a violation of RedHat licensing and urge people *not* to do it. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
