[Xen-users] First XEN install: Installing XEN in virtual machine? & Remote GUI for XEN? & etc.
I am installing my first XEN based Centos 5.x machine. I want to manage it from my laptop, which is a Macbook, running a vitual Centos 5 under Parallels. I selected Convirture (www.convirture.com) as my GUI based mgmt tool but I see that it installs a XEN based kernel as part of its dependencies. 1. I assume that a XEN kernel would require hardware interaction and so would not run in a virtualized environment like Parallels. Am I correct? 2. If so, can someone suggest a GUI based tools that does not require xen to be installed on the machine managing XEN servers on the network, so that I can use my virtualized Linux on the Macbook. 3. How do I install a non-GUI based XEN server that can run Linux Desktop in virtual mode, in addition to other machines? I mean Dom0 should be minimal possible. Please advise asap, so I can install my first XEN ;-) With best regards and thanks in advance.
