[Xen-users] Small DataCenter has an example.
Tran, You can install Ubuntu Hardy, Xen on Ubuntu is very easy to setup. You can do it in 3 steps, 1 install Ubuntu, 2 install Xen and 3 create and mange your virtual machines. Installing your first Xen, hostnamed hyper01: Prefer a 64bits version of Ubuntu Server 8.04.1 with the following partitions (you can use LVM2 over RAID1 for a production server): 1- /dev/sda1 128M /boot (or /dev/md0 on RAID1) 2- /dev/sda2 1024M SWAP (and /dev/sdb2 on second disc) 3- /dev/sda3 199G LVM2 (or /dev/md1 on RAID1) Then you will use this 199G LVM2 Phisical Volume to create a Volume Group called HyperVG01, and all partitions of your dom0 (first Linux started by Xen Hypervisor) will be there, look: 5 Logical Volumes for your dom0 hyper01 on HyperVG01 named: 1 hyper01-root (640M on /) 2 hyper01-tmp (512M on /tmp) 3 hyper01-home (5G on /home) 4 hyper01-usr (2G on /usr) 5 hyper01-var (2G on /var) After installation complete, log into your hyper01 and add this line to your /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-proposed main restricted universe multiverse And do: "aptitude update;aptitude dist-upgrade;aptitude install openssh-server" and reboot... Now you can install Xen and start creating your domUs. Install Xen: aptitude install ubuntu-xen-server ; reboot Configure Xen Tools: Edit /etc/xen-tools/xen-tools.conf and add this lines: lvm = HyperVG01 mirror = http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ Edit /etc/xen-tools/partitions.d/sample-server and setup partitions for your first domU. Create your first virtual machine (domU): xen-create-image --hostname=domu01 --dhcp --partitions=sample-server --arch=amd64 --verbose --dist=hardy --force Create another domU: xen-create-image --hostname=domu02 --dhcp --partitions=sample-server --arch=amd64 --verbose --dist=hardy --force You can change "--dhcp" for "--ip=192.168.Y.Z --netmask=255.255.255.0--gateway=192.168.Y.X". Start your domU: xm create /etc/xen/domu01.cfg or xm create -c /etc/xen/domu01.cfg ... to connect to console immediately. Connect to your domu01 console: xm console domu01 To detach from console, type control+]. That''s it! Note.: Don''t use some hardwares with Ubuntu, like Adapted Raid Controller or some HP machines does''t work under Xen/Ubuntu.
