If you look around, you might find Xen domU -(unprivileged) guest that you can download from the Internet, but some of -us might want to roll their own. This MINI-HOWTO shows how to install a -Slackware domU guest. The fastest way is to mount your Slackware DVD on -/media/SlackDVD, normally this is the mount point chosen by HAL. -Then run the included domU.sh script: - -# ./domU.sh - -This will install Slackware onto an 8GB file called slackware.img and a 500MB -swap file called swap_file. By default, a typical server installation ensues. - -Have a good look at the "mydom" file as you need to fill in the full path to -the slackware.img and swap_file files. - -Then run the following command: - -# xl create -c mydom - -Your Slackware XenLinux domU should boot instantly. - -Since Xen domU support has been in mainline kernel for a while now, those that -wish to have the best performance can compile a seperate domU kernel based on a -stock Slackware kernel config. -This is what you have to select/unselect when building domU only kernel: - ---- -Processor type and features ---> - [*] Paravirtualized guest support ---> - [*] Xen guest support - -Bus options (PCI etc.) ---> - [ ] PCI support - -Device Drivers ---> - < > Serial ATA and Parallel ATA drivers ---> - SCSI device support ---> - < > SCSI device support ---- - -Disabling SCSI support frees up the /dev/sd* device names for use as Xen -virtual block devices. Basicly, this changes their names from /dev/sd* to a -Xen device name format /dev/xvd*. If this is left enabled, ocasionaly domU can -get stuck with this error: "XENBUS: Waiting for devices to initialise..." -Naturaly, to get the best performance you can disable everything that you -don't need in a domU kernel. - -Note that these files are not intended for a production environment. Users who -have particular requirements will need to set up their own methods, but these -files might provide a good starting point.
