[Xen-users] How do I get a version of Dom0 later than 2.6.18
Hi,
I have a generic question and hope some one would be able to help me:
In Fedora 9 I see options for installing virtualization with the options of KVM
and Xen 3.2.
So if I go ahead with installing Xen in that what do I get? Do I get the
Hypervisor and a version of
XenoLinux(Dom0) same as the kernel used in Fedora9 (2.6.25 I guess).
But I saw a thread mentioning some problems with Fedora 9:
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2008-06/msg00698.html
So is there any way in which I can get a Dom0 Linux kernel which is later than
2.6.18 (which we get from Xen site).
There were some mentions about using Fedora 8 for that . But the explanations
were not clear to me.
So if any one can help by explaining whats the status, I will really appreciate
that.
Thanks.

Hi, Try Ubuntu Hardy 8.04.1 with Proposed updates enabled in your /etc/apt/sources.list, you will have Linux 2.6.24-21-xen in your dom0. Some infos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen With Ubuntu you basically install the system, install Xen and start creating your domUs. 1) Install Ubuntu with LVM, leaving space for your domUs; 2) Install ubuntu-xen-server (aptitude install ubuntu-xen-server); 3) Configure Xen-Tool in /etc/xen-tools/xen-tools.conf; 4) Create your 1st domU: xen-create-image --hostname=domu01 -dhcp -dist=hardy; 5) Start your new domU: xm create -c /etc/xen/domu01.cfg. That''s it!

Re: [Xen-users] How do I get a version of Dom0 later than 2.6.18
Thiago,
Thanks for your help.
Do you have any idea if the same could be done using any of the Fedora versions.
They also claim to be having Xen 3.2 inbuilt. So I am a bit confused.
Regards.

Hi,
Try Ubuntu Hardy 8.04.1 with Proposed updates enabled in
your /etc/apt/sources.list, you will have Linux 2.6.24-21-xen in your
dom0.
Some infos:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen
With Ubuntu you basically install the system, install Xen and start creating
your domUs.
1) Install Ubuntu with LVM, leaving space for your domUs;
2) Install ubuntu-xen-server (aptitude install ubuntu-xen-server);
3) Configure Xen-Tool in /etc/xen-tools/xen-tools.conf;
4) Create your 1st domU: xen-create-image --hostname=domu01 -dhcp -dist=hardy;
5) Start your new domU: xm create -c /etc/xen/domu01.cfg.
That''s it!

Thiago

Re: [Xen-users] How do I get a version of Dom0 later than 2.6.18
Dushmant, you welcome! I don''t know about Feroda''s version of Xen, but it can be Xen-3.2 and Linux-2.6.18.8-xen with their patches. On Ubuntu you have Xen-3.2 too but with Linux-2.6.24-21-xen. With xen-tools of Ubuntu Hardy 8.04, you can create a Fedora domU in your Ubuntu dom0. Xen it''s the Hypervisor itself, and dom0 Linux it''s your first operation system started by Xen, it runs on top of it [Xen]. Your dom0 can be Linux (2.6.18 from xen.org or 2.6.24 from Ubuntu), OpenSolaris or FreeBSD.

Re: [Xen-users] How do I get a version of Dom0 later than 2.6.18
With Fedora 9, there is only DomU support in the kernels. If you need Dom0 Support, you have to use Fedora 8 for Dom0. This is because Fedora is trying to get the xen patches integrated in the mainline kernel. They have managed to do this for DomU, but there seem to be some conflicts between the Dom0 patches and more recent versions of the kernel. You can read more about it here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/XenPvops Geert On Saturday 20 September 2008, Thiago Camargo Martins Cordeiro wrote:> Dushmant, you welcome! > > I don''t know about Feroda''s version of Xen, but it can be Xen-3.2 and > Linux-2.6.18.8-xen with their patches. > > On Ubuntu you have Xen-3.2 too but with Linux-2.6.24-21-xen. > > With xen-tools of Ubuntu Hardy 8.04, you can create a Fedora domU in your > Ubuntu dom0. > > Xen it''s the Hypervisor itself, and dom0 Linux it''s your first operation > system started by Xen, it runs on top of it [Xen].

Re: [Xen-users] How do I get a version of Dom0 later than 2.6.18
Opensuse has 2.6.25.16-xen dom0 kernel, I have taken the xen-patches from the suse kernel and applied them to gentoo-sources-2.6.25-gentoo-r8 (2.6.25.15) running several windows and linux hvm''s with xen 3.2.1 ive not had any crashes or other problems, I needed a newer kernel as 2.6.18 did not detect some of my sata controllers.

I will test right now new Ubuntu Intrepid Alpha6, it''s come with 2.6.27 kernel... and with xen-3.3! ;-) I can see the future of Xen through the distros/OSes will be very nice! It''s exiciting!

If that is selected and you still do not see XEN options in the main menu .. something probably went wrong with the patch.

RE: [Xen-users] How do I get a version of Dom0 later than 2.6.18
Dushmant, The Fedora-Xen group might be a better place for your question in regards to what other Fedora users are doing with F9. I do not use F9, but still F8. I wonder if you couldn''t grab the Dom0 Xen Kernel source from F8 and compile it on F9. Perhaps this would get you a new enough kernel in F9. What I don''t know is how compatible it will be with everything else (I guess as compatible as can be since it''s compiled manually?) or whether or not the Xen hypervisor is included in F9 when installing Xen (if not, I guess you would have to pick a version and compile it as well). Anyway, depending on how much time and experience you have, it might be worth experimenting with.

If you need Dom0 Support, you have to use Fedora 8 for Dom0. This is because Fedora is trying to get the xen patches integrated in the mainline kernel. They have managed to do this for DomU, but there seem to be some conflicts between the Dom0 patches and more recent versions of the kernel.
