Hello, First – thanks to all the help and support on this list – really is appreciated! I was wondering what everyone thought of running xen on CentOS? I wanted to know your experience with it and opinions. Currently we have run it on Fedora Core and it has been a bit unstable. I was looking for an alternative option that we may use in the near future.

I''ve been using xen on Centos for months in a production environment. If your hardware is good, then current versions of Xen are very stable.

Thanks Jon, We have extremely good hardware in fact brand new servers. Thank you for the opinion much appreciated. Travis> I''ve been using xen on Centos for months in a production environment.

Hi there, I do all my Xen development by running my development Xen in an HVM virtual machine on top of Xen ;-) The host system, and all of my development systems are running CentOS 4.4 with Xen built from source. It''s working very well for me, stable and nice to work with - even in my rather unusual configuration :-) I''ve run WinXP in HVM, plus Linux, Plan 9, NetBSD PV, FreeBSD HVM, Syllable HVM, etc on this machine, sometimes simultaneously with my development VMs. No problems with this. I''ve yet to get Vista to install sanely, but Im'' not entirely sure if that''s Xen''s fault... ;-) CentOS / RHEL 5 incorporates integrated Xen with a nice GUI called virt-manager to tie it together. There''s also a service pack to CentOS - RHEL 4 that allows it to run as a paravirtualised domain... One note: CentOS / RHEL 5 (and Fedora) all use PAE on 32-bit systems. The NetBSD (and probably Plan 9) paravirtualised kernels won''t work on PAE - you should be able to run them in HVM though. Hope that helps some.

I couldn''t get Windows 2003 to install from the GUI (in HVM mode) in CentOS 5. the VM appears frozen when Windows installer probes for hardware. The install works fine on FC7Beta2).

Unfortunately the whole system crashed this night. Because I''m not at work today, I cannot say, what''s the reason for the crash. The creation of centos-guests worked fine (using the tool virt-install that comes with this distribution). I had problems running a debian sarge guest, because the xen-initrd was not built with xenblk an xennet support. I don''t know, why the guys from fedora/redhat/centos didn''t fix this until now. I will try xen on etch the next days. Greetings, Holger _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I''ve been checking out virt-manager for CentOS 5, but ye ghods, it acts like a pretty interface written by a complete newb. No ability to detect and load turned off domains, no ability to list available partitions or create them, no ability to pre-set your vifnames or MAC addresses or other features, etc. etc., etc. Not a very good tool. I''m hoping to find something better, but the ones I''ve seen recommended took higher versions of graphic and python and other toolkits than CentOS 4 had when I was looking last. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
Thus far I do everything from the command line. I want to get a GUI of some sort for remote management but can''t decide on what is my best option and I don''t want to dirty up my dom0 experimenting. Please make recommendations as you see fit. Jon Nico Kadel-Garcia wrote:> Jonathon Jones wrote: >> I''ve been using xen on Centos for months in a production >> environment.

write something in tcl/tk. Very rasy language to learn for me [tm]. Great for prototyping. On 20/04/07, Jonathon Jones <xen@doobla.com> wrote:> > Thus far I do everything from the command line.
