Xen users - Apr 2012 - Creating a new domain from a cd

Hi,

I am completely new to Xen and Gentoo. But I need to create a new 
virtual host from a cd using Xen. I''ve tried creating a new domain with
"xm new name " and it obviously errors out. So I was wondering if
anyone
has a quick guide to create domains with Xen that I could read.

Thanks in advance.

Hi!

you can start from here:

Furthermore, if you want to create a domU from a CD you may:
- use the .iso image file of the installation CD
disk = [ ''file:/path/to/gentoo-domU.img,hda,w'',
''file:/path/to/gentoo.iso,hdc:cdrom,r'' ]

- use the cdrom
disk = [ ''file:/path/to/gentoo-domU.img,hda,w'',
''phy:/dev/cdrom,hdc:cdrom,r'']

And I suggest to use the new xl toolstack, not the old one xm.

Cheers,
