[Xen-users] Question about stacklet ubuntu pv domu images and xen4.0
I am just about to pull my hair out trying to get an ubuntu 10.04 pv domu installed on my centos 5.5 dom0 with xen 4.0. So I am debating on sparing my hair and just spend a few dollars for a month subscription to stacklet and download an already done image. Has anyone had any experiences with this image on a similar setup to mine? Just want to make sure it will work correctly before I spend any money. And just before you ask, I do have the ubuntu 10.04 domu installed but when I boot the only way I can boot it is with the kernel, initrd, and extra options. Then I have no networking other than localhost. I have spent almost 2 weeks straight on getting this working so I am about at the breaking point.

Stacklet Xen images work very well. Right out of the box. He even gives you a config file! I don''t know the guy, but his work is very good! It will save your hair. Also, you don''t need to stay subscribed. It''s GPL GNU/Linux. Just stay subscribed for the first month... ________________________________ From: xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com on behalf of Donny Brooks Sent: Fri 02/07/2010 16:02 To: xen-users@lists.xensource.com Subject: [Xen-users] Question about stacklet ubuntu pv domu images and xen4.0 I am just about to pull my hair out trying to get an ubuntu 10.04 pv domu installed on my centos 5.5 dom0 with xen 4.0.

Re: [Xen-users] Question about stacklet ubuntu pv domu images and xen4.0
I know it is an .img file but I should be able to simply "dd" that to a lv and change the config accordingly if I want to use a physical lv rather than image file correct? I know it may seem obvious but I think after the fight I have had trying to setup the regular way I make no assumptions. Thanks in advance.

RE: [Xen-users] Question about stacklet ubuntu pv domu images andxen4.0
Yes. That is exactly what I do. Make your inital LV size 10GB. Then dd the img over to the LV. Then you can shrink/expand LV and filesystem. Don''t worry about what''s happened recently. Xen was and still is a big learning curve for me too :) ________________________________ From: xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com on behalf of Donny Brooks Sent: Fri 02/07/2010 17:03 To: xen-users@lists.xensource.com Subject: Re: [Xen-users] Question about stacklet ubuntu pv domu images andxen4.0 I know it is an .img file but I should be able to simply "dd" that to a lv and change the config accordingly if I want to use a physical lv rather than image file correct?

RE: [Xen-users] Question about stacklet ubuntu pv domu images andxen4.0
Hi Donny, You''re miles ahead of me! I''m only really just starting out with Xen. All my past experience is with VMWare esxi, however since I wish to host VMs for customers, VMWare doesn''t allow this without paying money... My servers which will go live soon will be running CentOS 5.5 with Gitco''s 3.4.2 Xen. All the DomU images will be from stacklet. As for storage, I think I''m eventually going to get a central storage server, and export a few LVs via "ATA over Ethernet", as I''ve heard it can be faster than iSCSI Cheers Jonny ________________________________ From: Donny Brooks [mailto:dbrooks@mdah.state.ms.us] Sent: Fri 02/07/2010 17:33 To: Jonathan Tripathy Subject: Re: [Xen-users] Question about stacklet ubuntu pv domu images andxen4.0 Thanks. I am usually the kind of guy that can just figure stuff out.

Re: [Xen-users] Question about stacklet ubuntu pv domu images andxen4.0
You were correct about the stacklet images. THEY ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!! I had my ubuntu pv domu up and running within 20 minutes of the time I paid/registered. That breaks down like this: 15 minutes was downloading the image here at work on our slow connection 4 minutes 45 seconds was dd''ing the image to an lv 15 seconds was editing the config and running ''xm create -c stacklet-ubuntu-pv.cfg'' Now just to figure out the whole ''virsh domxml-from-native'' command... and how to get it on a specific bridge interface I need it to... To google I go!!!!!! Thanks again for everyones help. Next is trying to work on migration and drbd stuff. On 7/2/2010 11:37 AM, Jonathan Tripathy wrote:> Hi Donny, > You''re miles ahead of me!

Re: [Xen-users] Question about stacklet ubuntu pv domu images andxen4.0
Hi Donny, I knew you''d like them! TO this very day, I still have no idea how to get Ubuntu 10.04 on Xen without using Stacklet''s images! BTW, IMHO, I''d try and avoid using libvirt (virsh). You may find that it works ok for you, however I had no end of trouble with it (It seems to break across minor Xen versions). What I have done is just tried and learnt everything using xm and manual config file editing. I also feel that it''s better to know Xen inside out, before placing a top layer management tool. Just my 2 cents, but if you find virsh/libvirt/virt-manager works well for you, then by all means use it :) Cheers, Jonathan On 02/07/10 21:57, Donny Brooks wrote:> You were correct about the stacklet images.

Funny you mention that about virsh. On my home system I don''t have virsh and had always learned/used xm. Only on this new server at work have I dealt/fought with virsh. So I will just stick with xm tools on this stuff here at work to save on issues. Thanks for the input. Donny B. On 7/4/2010 11:22 AM, Jonathan Tripathy wrote:> Hi Donny, > > I knew you''d like them!
