Setup LVM based Intrepid Server PV DomU for PV-Grub load at Xen 3.3.1-RC4 CentOS 5.2 Dom0
Been creating Intrepid (lbex) HVM image,supposed to be loaded as PV DomU, i’ve got an issue with default LVM partitioning been done by Ubuntu Intrepid Server. Image been created may be easily loaded at Xen 3.3.X Dom0 via traditional xm-profile by not via “pygrub” or “pv-grub”, expecting /boot partition not of LVM’s type. Up on creating Intrepid HVM image, boot partition and LVM’s Group , containing “/” filesystem and swap as logical volumes have been setup.Notice,that Disk Druid RH’s partitioner always does so by default.
Intrepid KVM with image device (/dev/sdb8) has been created via virt-manager on Ubuntu Intrepid Server dual booting with
Xen 3.3.1 CentOS 5.2 Dom0. Actually, it’s not important where to create this image. It could be also done via standard hvm profile at Xen 3.3.1 CentOS 5.2 Dom0. I have to notice, that “qcow2″ format for image files supported by the most recent python-vm-builder for intrepid’s KVMs is not acceptable for convertion into PV DomU’s images.
Setting up Intrepid HVM at Xen 3.3.1-RC4 CentOS 5.2 Dom0 :-
Once HVM got loaded /etc/event.d/tty1 has been copied to /etc/event.d/hvc0
# tty1 - getty
#
# This service maintains a getty on tty1 from the point the system is
# started until it is shut down again.
start on stopped rc2
start on stopped rc3
start on stopped rc4
start on stopped rc5
stop on runlevel 0
stop on runlevel 1
stop on runlevel 6
respawn
exec /sbin/getty 38400 hvc0
The first time Intrepid PV DomU has been loaded via profile :
[root@dhcppc0 vm]# cat xen.conf
name = 'UbuntuPVS810'
memory = 4096
kernel = '/etc/xen/vm/vmlinuz-2.6.27-7-server'
ramdisk = '/etc/xen/vm/initrd.img-2.6.27-7-server'
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/sdb8,xvda,w']
vif = [ 'bridge = eth0']
on_poweroff = 'destroy'
on_reboot = 'restart'
on_crash = 'restart'
root = '/dev/mapper/vg01-vol01 ro'
extra = '2 console=hvc0'
At DomU side :-
# apt-get vim
# apt-get upgrade
# apt-get linux-server-image
have been run.
File /boot/grub/menu.lst modified as follows :-
title Ubuntu 8.10, kernel 2.6.27-9-server (PV DomU)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.27-9-server root=/dev/mapper/vg01-vol01 ro 2 console=hvc0
initrd /initrd.img-2.6.27-9-server
quiet
Then Intrepid PV DomU may be loaded via profile :-
[root@dhcppc0 vm]# cat IntrepidPVG.pv-grub
name = "InterpidPV-Grub"
memory = 4096
vcpus = 1
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/sdb8,xvda,w' ]
vif = [ "bridge=eth0" ]
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/pv-grub-x86_64.gz"
extra = "(hd0,0)/grub/menu.lst"
Startup log
[root@ServerXen331 vm]# xm create -c IntrepidPVG.pv-grub
