[Xen-users] Install ubunto domU

Dear *,

I''m more used to work with RedHat like OSes. Still, I did not denied
the
request from a user who wants a domU based on ubunto. I usually use 
virt-install to do the job, with a script similar to this one:

#!/bin/sh
BASE=SL-4.7-i386-pv \
virt-install --nographics     \
              --nonsparse      \
              --paravirt       \
              --noreboot       \
              --file-size=4    \
              --ram=512        \
              --vcpus=1        \
              --name=$BASE-`date +%d%m%y`     \
              --file=$BASE-`date +%d%m%y`.img \
              --location=ftp://linuxsoft.cern.ch/scientific/47/i386/

I tried several --location values for ubunto (e.g. 
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/xen/
)
but I''m always getting the following error:

Starting install...
ERROR    Could not find an installable distribution at 
''http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/installer-amd64/current/images''

Can someone point me to the right direction? Clearly I''m missing 
something, probably virt-install only works for RH like. Also open to 
suggestions of installing domU''s using other methods.
Thank you,
N.

Re: [Xen-users] Install ubunto domU

Create Lucid HVM via virt-install and load same image via pygrub,
without switching /boot/grub/grub.cfg to no UUID mode on HVM

Re: [Xen-users] Install ubunto domU

Ubuntu now has a fully PV xen aware netboot installer available, so
installing HVM and doing a "conversion" isnt necessary.

As for how to make virt-install work with this, i''m not so sure.
I''m
assuming its using a debootstrap style install.

Re: [Xen-users] Install ubunto domU

Hi David,

That''s good to know, and I want PV domU''s.
Still, I also do not understand how I can use virt-install for ubunto 
domU''s.
Going to give a try to debootstrap probably.

Cheers,
N.

Re: [Xen-users] Install ubunto domU

Virt-install HVM :

# virt-install -n LucidSRV -r 1024 --hvm --vnc -f /dev/sdc7 -c
/root/isos/UbuntuServer10.04.iso --debug
> Ubuntu now has a fully PV xen aware netboot installer available, so installing HVM and doing a "conversion" isnt necessary.

I don''t know what you mean exactly, but Karmic,Jaunty,Intrepid Servers
PV DomUs may be also installed via debootstrap. View for instance:

http://bderzhavets.wordpress.com/2009/05/02/debootstrap-ubuntu-jaunty-pv-domu-at-xen-331-f10-dom0-kernel-2630-rc3-tip/
 

Does Ubuntu provide URL acceptable for " --location URL" option of
virt-install ?

Re: [Xen-users] Install ubunto domU

1. I never really found a use for vfb. This is ubuntu server. If you''re
looking for a desktop after the install you can modprobe xen-fbfront.

2. If you''re deploying a lot of machines i have used http-replicator to
cache the packages so they''re only downloaded once.

Re: [Xen-users] Install ubunto domU

When done DomU may be loaded via profile with your''s patch back ported
to Xen 4.0 :

root@ServerLnx:/home/boris/ubuntu# cat ubuntu.py
name="U10PV"
memory=2048
disk = [''phy:/dev/sdb5,xvda,w'' ]
vif = [ ''bridge=eth0'' ]
vfb = [ ''type=vnc,vncunused=1'']
bootloader = "/usr/bin/pygrub"
vcpus=2
on_reboot = ''restart''
on_crash = ''restart''

On DomU :

# lsmod | grep xen

xen_fbfront             7225  1 
fb_sys_fops             1611  1 xen_fbfront
sysimgblt               2547  1 xen_fbfront
xen_kbdfront            4249  0 
sysfillrect             3949  1 xen_fbfront
syscopyarea             3640  1 xen_fbfront
xen_netfront           17890  0 
xen_blkfront           10697  3 


You are right regarding VFB.

Boris.

1. I never really found a use for vfb. This is ubuntu server. If you''re
looking for a desktop after the install you can modprobe xen-fbfront.
2. If you''re deploying a lot of machines i have used http-replicator to
cache the packages so they''re only downloaded once.

I don''t know what you mean exactly, but Karmic,Jaunty,Intrepid Servers
PV DomUs may be also installed via debootstrap. View for instance:


http://bderzhavets.wordpress.com/2009/05/02/debootstrap-ubuntu-jaunty-pv-domu-at-xen-331-f10-dom0-kernel-2630-rc3-tip/

 

Does Ubuntu provide URL acceptable for " --location URL" option of
virt-install ?

Ubuntu now has a fully PV xen aware netboot installer available, so installing
HVM and doing a "conversion" isnt necessary.
As for how to make virt-install work with this, i''m not so sure.
I''m assuming its using a debootstrap style install.

Dear *,

I''m more used to work with RedHat like OSes. Still, I did not denied
the request from a user who wants a domU based on ubunto. I usually use
virt-install to do the job, with a script similar to this one:


#!/bin/sh
BASE=SL-4.7-i386-pv \
virt-install --nographics 
    \
             --nonsparse      \
             --paravirt       \
             --noreboot       \
             --file-size=4    \
             --ram=512        \
             --vcpus=1        \
             --name=$BASE-`date +%d%m%y`     \


             --file=$BASE-`date +%d%m%y`.img \
             --location=ftp://linuxsoft.cern.ch/scientific/47/i386/

I tried several --location values for ubunto (e.g.
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/xen/
)


but I''m always getting the following error:

Starting install...
ERROR    Could not find an installable distribution at
''http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/installer-amd64/current/images''


Can someone point me to the right direction? Clearly I''m missing
something, probably virt-install only works for RH like. Also open to
suggestions of installing domU''s using other methods.
Thank you,
N.

Re: [Xen-users] Install ubunto domU

Dear *, Boris

I tried to follow your steps (installing Lucid x86_64 PV domU on a 
CentOS 54 x86_64 dom0, running xen 3.4.2 from gitco) ... but was not 
successful. Something is still escaping me.
Installation went just fine till the end after a "xm create -c 
lucid.xen" (see below).
After installation (without any modifications to what was installed) I 
edited the xen config file (test.xen, see below) to boot with pygrub 
instead. But I get the following error:
Error: Boot loader didn''t return any data!

I checked that the new domU does not have /usr/bin/pygrub, and this 
explains the error.
So Boris, how did you boot your ubunto based domU after a netboot 
installation?
I did not tried yet the debootstrap method also suggested ... first I 
want to know what I''m doing wrong here.

I''m a bit lost on setting up an ubunto domU, first time getting outside
RedHat like OSes. So if there are some good working links to 
blogs/tutorials on how to install ubunto domU''s on RedHat like
dom0''s
I''ll appreciate.

Cheers,
N.

P.S. Steps taken :

1 - lvcreate -n domu.ubunto.lucid -L 4G vg1
2 - mkfs.ext3 /dev/vg1/domu.ubunto.lucid
3 - wget 
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/xen/vmlinuz
4 - wget 
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/xen/initrd.gz
5 - cat lucid.xen
name      = "lucid"
memory    = 1024
disk      = [''phy:/dev/vg1/domu.ubunto.lucid,xvda,w'' ]
vif       = [ ''bridge=eth0'' ]
kernel    = "/mnt/dom0/data/domu.setup/ubunto/lucid/vmlinuz"
ramdisk   = "/mnt/dom0/data/domu.setup/ubunto/lucid/initrd.gz"
vcpus     = 1
on_reboot = ''destroy''
on_crash  = ''destroy''

6 - xm create -c lucid.xen
... installation goes just fine ...
7 - cat test.xen
name        = "test"
memory      = 512
maxmem      = 1024
bootloader  = ''/usr/bin/pygrub''
disk        = [''phy:/dev/vg1/domu.spyder.root,xvda,w'' ]
vif         = [ ''bridge=eth0'' ]
vcpus       = 1
on_poweroff = ''destroy''
on_reboot   = ''restart''
on_crash    = ''restart''

8 - xm create -c test.xen
Using config file "./test.xen".
Error: Boot loader didn''t return any data!

Yes , you missing David''s patch. Personally , i could back port it only
to Xen 4.0,
even Xen 3.4.3 was not enough. Some other CSs from 4.0 are required for
consistency and you don''t know which ones.

You are at 3.4.2 !

I believe gitco did Xen 4.0 rpms. Gitgo''s  4.0 src.rpm has to patched
per David and rpms rebuilt. That ''s in case you want "pygrub"
to be bootloader for DomU . It''s comfortable, but not required.

I tried to follow your steps (installing Lucid x86_64 PV domU on a CentOS 54

Installation went just fine till the end after a "xm create -c
lucid.xen" (see below).

After installation (without any modifications to what was installed) I edited
the xen config file (test.xen, see below) to boot with pygrub instead. But I get
the following error:

Error: Boot loader didn''t return any data!


I checked that the new domU does not have /usr/bin/pygrub, and this explains the
error.

So Boris, how did you boot your ubunto based domU after a netboot installation?

I did not tried yet the debootstrap method also suggested ... first I want to
know what I''m doing wrong here.


I''m a bit lost on setting up an ubunto domU, first time getting outside
RedHat like OSes. So if there are some good working links to blogs/tutorials on
how to install ubunto domU''s on RedHat like dom0''s
I''ll appreciate.

10.04 as a pv domu... is that correct? I am currently at 3.4.2 on a centos 5.4
dom0 but need to run some ubuntu domu''s very badly. Please advise!

Re: [Xen-users] Install ubunto domU

You can run Ubuntu Lucid PV guest at 3.4.2, but not via "pygrub"
Gitco.de/repo doesn''t contain required 4.0 src.rpm . It''s
Gunter''s policy i guess.
When he will make 4.0.1 he would probably provide it.
I would remove CentOS 5.4 as Dom0 base and build system on F13 (F12)
due to xen-4.0.0.-0.7.f12.src.rpm available at xensource.

wget http://pasik.reaktio.net/fedora/xen-4.0.0-0.7.fc12.src.rpm

Re: [Xen-users] Install ubunto domU

Hi,
if you are having a GUI then please use virt-manager.
In case you are accessing the server remotely.
Please follow this method on CentOS
yum install virt-manager
make sure
in your sshd_config
X11 Forwarding is enabled login remotely.
To be able to export X from a remote CentOS server which does not have
Gnome Desktop Manager running
a library xorg-x11-xauth is needed to be installed on CentOS server.
I got this solution here
http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2391

Then login remotely
ssh root@centosdom0 -X
virt-manager

you will get a nice GUI and then you can give path to ISO,HTTP,NFS
what ever Ubuntu has.
You should be able to install.The other way of creating config files
converting HVM to PVM will be difficult.
Please use a nice GUI from virt-manager it will help you rather than
going through complex process
virt-manager can be used on various opearing systems
Debian,Ubuntu,Fedora,RedHat.
http://virt-manager.et.redhat.com/
The steps may not be exactly as mentioned on the following link
http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/rhel-centos-xen-virtualization-installation-howto.html
but using GUI for some time you will get an idea.
I have attached a file go through it.
It is a correction of some ones blog at
http://www.ideyatech.com/2010/05/virtualization-with-ubuntu-1004-lucid-lynx/
that blog is using Ubuntu as Host OS but the steps here in your case
should be similar.
It should help you.

Re: [Xen-users] Install ubunto domU

I''m very interested in this as well.

What is pygrub? Are you saying that for the time being, if you want to 
use Ubuntu 10.04, you''d best use Fedora 13 or 12?

Thanks

I''m very interested in this as well.


What is pygrub? Are you saying that for the time being, if you want to
use Ubuntu 10.04, you''d best use Fedora 13 or 12?


Thanks

        You can run Ubuntu Lucid PV guest at 3.4.2, but not via
"pygrub"

Gitco.de/repo doesn''t contain required 4.0 src.rpm . It''s
Gunter''s
policy i guess.

When he will make 4.0.1 he would probably provide it.

I would remove CentOS 5.4 as Dom0 base and build system on F13 (F12)

due to xen-4.0.0.-0.7.f12.src.rpm available at xensource.

        

        wget

           I read this and I gather I need to be
running Xen 4.0 in order to run Ubuntu 10.04 as a pv domu... is that
correct? I am currently at 3.4.2 on a centos 5.4 dom0 but need to run
some ubuntu domu''s very badly. Please advise!

Re: [Xen-users] Install ubunto domU

Not via "pygrub". It is  pretty easy to install Lucid in PV DomU. Copy
off the disk
kernel and intrd to Dom0, as granny taught.

Is there no way to install Ubuntu 10.04 in the current release of Xen
(What ever comes with the latest CentOS) ?

           I''m very interested in this as well.

          

What is pygrub? Are you saying that for the time being, if you want to
use Ubuntu 10.04, you''d best use Fedora 13 or 12?

          

Thanks

                  You can run Ubuntu Lucid PV guest at 3.4.2, but not via
"pygrub"

Gitco.de/repo doesn''t contain required 4.0 src.rpm . It''s
Gunter''s
policy i guess.

When he will make 4.0.1 he would probably provide it.

I would remove CentOS 5.4 as Dom0 base and build system on F13 (F12)

due to xen-4.0.0.-0.7.f12.src.rpm available at xensource.

                  

                  wget
                  http://pasik.reaktio.net/fedora/xen-4.0.0-0.7.fc12.src.rpm

                  

Boris.

                     I read this and I gather I
need to be
running Xen 4.0 in order to run Ubuntu 10.04 as a pv domu... is that
correct? I am currently at 3.4.2 on a centos 5.4 dom0 but need to run
some ubuntu domu''s very badly. Please advise!

Re: [Xen-users] Install ubunto domU

Well.. it depends.

Xen 4.0 pygrub supports ext4 /boot and grub2 grub.cfg config files.

So if you want to use pygrub to load the ubuntu 10.04 kernel from the guest, 
then you need Xen 4.0 (or a pygrub with the patches added).

But if you just have the ubuntu kernel/initrd in dom0, 
then you can pretty much use any old Xen version, I think.

Re: [Xen-users] Install ubunto domU

I am upgrading my xen dom0 to Centos 5.5 and trying that way as stated by Pasi
here:
>Or then use CentOS 5.5 as dom0 and apply the el5 pygrub grub2 patch from:
>https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=577511
>
>-- Pasi 
But, crazy question... how do I apply that "patch"? Sorry if I sound
dumb, just never done that.

Re: [Xen-users] Install ubunto domU

Well.. if you want to apply it to a running system you need to extract the
pieces of the patches
related to different files and then apply them manually.

I did that:
Patch for /usr/bin/pygrub:
http://pasik.reaktio.net/xen/patches/el5-pygrub-grub2-support-2010-05-27-pygrub.patch
Patch for /usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/grub/GrubConf.py:
http://pasik.reaktio.net/xen/patches/el5-pygrub-grub2-support-2010-05-27-grubconf.patch
Patch for /usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/grub/LiloConf.py:
http://pasik.reaktio.net/xen/patches/el5-pygrub-grub2-support-2010-05-27-liloconf.patch

Example to apply the pygrub patch:

cd /usr/bin
cp -a pygrub pygrub.orig.backup
patch -p4 < /path/to/el5-pygrub-grub2-support-2010-05-27-pygrub.patch

Similar method works for the other two files. Hopefully that helps.

Re: [Xen-users] Install ubunto domU

For some reason the patch wants to fail on a few hunks. Although pygrub is not
necessary, I do have one question... is the "kernel" and
"ramdisk" options in the config file to load a kernel and ramdisk
image from the dom0 filesystem still usable in xen 3.4.2? I use them on all my
domu''s on my ubuntu8.04 running xen 3.2 at home. I just figured this
would be the easiest way to load ubuntu 10.04 on my centos 5.5 dom0 here at
work. Any thoughts?
