Install Fedora 10 PV DomU at Xen 3.3 openSUSE 11.1 Dom0

Notice, that openSUSE equiped with libvirt and vm-install
fails even to detect location of installation versions of “vmlinuz”
and “initrd.img” via it’s basic installation utility vm-install.





Setup apache daemon running via YAST and tune it's config file:-

# cd /etc/apache2
# vi default-server.conf
DocumentRoot “/srv/www/htdocs”
#
# Configure the DocumentRoot
#
<Directory “/srv/www/htdocs”>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
:wq

Restart Apache on OpenSuse 11.1 Dom0 and loop mount F10’s ISO :-

# mount -o loop /etc/xen/isos/f10.iso /srv/www/htdocs/f10
# cd /etc/xen/vm
# wget http://192.168.1.33/f10/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz
# wget http://192.168.1.33/f10/images/pxeboot/initrd.img

Create installation profile:-

dhcppc0:/etc/xen/vm # cat f10.install
name="F10PV"
memory=2048
disk = ['phy:/dev/sdb7,xvda,w' ]
vif = [ 'bridge=br1' ]
vfb = [ 'type=vnc,vncunused=1']
kernel = "/etc/xen/vm/vmlinuz"
ramdisk = "/etc/xen/vm/initrd.img"
vcpus=1
on_reboot = 'restart'
on_crash = 'restart'
# xm create f10.install
# vncviewer localhost:0

















Switch to runtime profile:-

dhcppc0:/etc/xen/vm # cat f10.pyg
name="F10PV"
memory=2048
disk = ['phy:/dev/sdb7,xvda,w' ]
vif = [ 'bridge=br1' ]
vfb = [ 'type=vnc,vncunused=1']
bootloader = "/usr/bin/pygrub"
vcpus=1
on_reboot = 'restart'
on_crash = 'restart'
# xm create f10.install
# vncviewer localhost:0



Setup user’s account at DomU and temporary disable services iptables&ip6tables
to setup VNC at DomU. Then connect to graphical console to tune firewall
(user port 5901 & DNS) and activate iptables services again.Reboot system.
It’s ready to go.














Novell's support openSUSE 11.1 is amazingly perfect:-

Install Fedora 10 PV DomU at Xen 3.3.1 CentOS 5.2 Dom0 & Xen 3.3.0 Intrepid Server Dom0 (Novell's Xen-inified Kernel) via local Apache Mirror

My experience with F10 PV DomU installs via profiles,described in details at recent post Xen 3.3.1rc1-pre port to CentOS 5.2 via http://bits.xensource.com mercurial repos and managing PV DomUs in graphical mode (like)

name="F10PV"
memory=2048
disk = ['file:/etc/xen/isos/f10.iso,xvdc:cdrom,r','phy:/dev/sdb5,xvda,w' ]
vif = [ 'bridge=eth0' ]
vfb = [ 'type=vnc,vncunused=1']
bootloader = "/usr/bin/pygrub"
kernel = "/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz"
ramdisk = "/images/pxeboot/initrd.img"
vcpus=1
on_reboot = 'restart'
on_crash = 'restart'

was negative, in regards of not providing an option to utilize local HTTP Mirror (NFS Share).Installer above just activated Xen Ethernet Interface at DomU and with no prompts address to Fedora's Internet Repositories, what is actually, time consuming procedure, even at 100KB/sec (ADSL) connection.Schema bellow works also at Xen 3.3 Intrepid Server Dom0 with Novell's Xen-inified kernel, where profile mentioned above is useless due to some incompatibility between Ubuntu loop devices and F10 ISO structure.
Workaround for this issue follows bellow.
Setup httpd daemon running then loop mount F10 iso :-

# mount -o loop f10.iso /var/www/html/f10
# cd /etc/xen/vm
# wget http://192.168.1.33/f10/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz

Create installation profile:-

# cat f10.inst

memory=2048
disk = ['phy:/dev/sdb5,xvda,w' ]
vif = [ 'bridge=eth0' ]
vfb = [ 'type=vnc,vncunused=1']
kernel = "/etc/xen/vm/vmlinuz"
ramdisk = "/etc/xen/vm/initrd.img"
vcpus=1
on_reboot = 'restart'
on_crash = 'restart'
# xm create f10.inst
# vncviewer localhost:0












When done switch to runtime profile:-

name="F10PV"
memory=2048
disk = ['phy:/dev/sdb5,xvda,w' ]
vif = [ 'bridge=eth0' ]
vfb = [ 'type=vnc,vncunused=1']

Reboot system. It's ready to go.

Debootstrap Intrepid Server PV DomU at Xen 3.3.1 CentOS 5.2 Dom0 (all 64-bit)

As appears debootstrap RPM developed for Fedora 9 works fine at Xen 3.3.1 CentOS 5.2
Dom0 and provide an option to create Intrepid Server PV Guest via debootstrap
Ubuntu's image in RH's Xen Dom0 environment.
Install F9's rpm then debootstrap would understand non Ubuntu Environment:-

# rpm -ivh debootstrap-1.0.8-1.fc9.noarch.rpm

Prepare LVMs for install:-

# lvcreate -n ubuntu -L12G /dev/vgxen
# lvcreate -n ubuntu-swap -L4G /dev/vgxen
# mke2fs -j /dev/vgxen/ubuntu
# mkswap /dev/vgxen/ubuntu-swap
# mkdir -p /mnt/xen
# mount /dev/vgxen/ubuntu /mnt/xen

Create missing symlink:-

# ln -s /usr/share/debootstrap/scripts/gutsy /usr/share/debootstrap/scripts/gutsy/intrepid

Deboostrap new Intrepid Guest:-

# debootstrap --arch=amd64 --include=linux-image-server,grub \
--components=main,universe,multiverse intrepid /mnt/xen \
http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/







Once that has finished chroot into the new debootstrapped tree :-

# chroot /mnt/xen
# export LANG=C

Create /etc/fstab:

# cat /etc/fstab
/dev/xvda1 / ext3 defaults 0 1
/dev/xvdb1 none swap defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0

Create a folder for GRUB menu and update the config

# mkdir -p /boot/grub
# update-grub

Edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
- add "console=hvc0" to both kernel lines (normal and recovery mode)
Setup a getty on the Xen console (hvc0):

# cd /etc/event.d
# cp tty1 hvc0
# sed -i -e "s/tty1/xvc0/g" hvc0

Remove references to the hardware clock; these will cause the DomU to hang:

# update-rc.d -f hwclockfirst remove
# update-rc.d -f hwclock remove
# rm /etc/udev/rules.d/85-hwclock.rules

Configure network interfaces (/etc/network/interfaces):-

# cat /etc/network/interfaces
# Used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8). See the interfaces(5) manpage or
# /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples for more information.
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

Create /etc/hosts file

# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 IntrepidPVH

Create /etc/hostname file

# cat /etc/hostname
IntrepidPVH

Exit chroot and unmount the filesystem.

# exit
# umount /mnt/xen


Start DomU via profile:-

bootloader = '/usr/bin/pygrub'
memory = 2048
name = "ubuntuPV"
vif = [ 'bridge=eth0' ]
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/vgxen/ubuntu,xvda1,w', 'phy:/dev/vgxen/ubuntu-swap,xvdb1,w' ]

At this point i had to bring /etc/apt/sources.list from remote Intrepid Server installed
on bare metal.Run tasksel and DomU to install Basic Ubuntu Server and OpenSSHserver.
Reboot

# apt-get update
# apt-get upgrade

1.CentOS 5.1 x86_64, Xen, and how to create a stinkin' Ubuntu DomU

Setup Intrepid Server PV DomU via xen-image-create&debootstrap at Xen 3.3 Intrepid Server
Dom0 with Novell's Xen-ified kernel 2.6.27-5.

I would also name this post xen-image-create&debootstrap vs python-vm-builder in regards
of pre-building Xen Guests at Ubuntu Intrepid Server.View Bug Report ([3]) for details. Install Interepid Server Dom0 with with Novell's Xen-ified kernel, enabling Dom0 and DomU support at a time.





View [1],[2] for details.Tune xen-tools scripts per [1] and create Intrepid PV DomU. Actually, images been created via xen-create-image allow to upgrade DomU to real Intrepid Server PV DomU.
I mean to perform:-

# apt-get upgrade
# apt-get install linux-image-server

and switch DomU's kernel to vmlinuz-2.6.27-9-server.
Afterward images may be scp'ed to any Xen 3.3.X Linux Dom0(64-bit) and corresponding Intrepid Server PV DomU loaded for instance at Xen 3.3.1-RC4 CentOS 5.2 Dom0 (64-bit).So, xen-image-create appears to be responsible to prebuild Xen Guest instead of the most recent release of python-vm-builder.

[root@ServerXen31 root]# cat createImage
xen-create-image --force --hostname=IntrepidPVS --size=6Gb \
--swap=1Gb --ide --memory=2Gb --arch=amd64 \
--dir=/etc/xen/images --kernel=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27.5 \
--initrd=/boot/initrd-2.6.27.5.img \
--install-method=debootstrap --dist=intrepid --mirror=http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ \
--passwd --accounts=root --dhcp


Load DomU via profile:-

kernel = '/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27.5'
ramdisk = '/boot/initrd-2.6.27.5.img'
memory = '2048'
#
# Disk device(s).
#
root = '/dev/hda2 ro'
disk = [
'file:/etc/xen/images/domains/IntrepidPVS/swap.img,hda1,w',
'file:/etc/xen/images/domains/IntrepidPVS/disk.img,hda2,w',
]
#
# Hostname
#
name = 'IntrepidPVS'
#
# Networking
#
dhcp = 'dhcp'
vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3E:7D:DB:85' ]
#
# Behaviour
#
on_poweroff = 'destroy'
on_reboot = 'restart'
on_crash = 'restart'
console='xvc0'

Run at DomU:-

# apt-get upgrade
# apt-get install linux-image-server
# shutdown -P now

Now load DomU via profile :-

kernel = '/etc/xen/vmlinuz-2.6.27-9-server'
ramdisk = '/etc/xen/initrd.img-2.6.27-9-server'
memory = '1024'

root = '/dev/xvda2 ro'
disk = [
'file:/etc/xen/images/domains/IntrepidPVS/swap.img,xvda1,w',
'file:/etc/xen/images/domains/IntrepidPVS/disk.img,xvda2,w',
]

name = 'IntrepidPVS'
vif = [ 'bridge=br0' ]

on_poweroff = 'destroy'
on_reboot = 'restart'
on_crash = 'restart'

console='hvc0'

At DomU ran tasksel to install Basic Intrepid Server,Opensshserver,Ubuntu Desktop
Now scp image files to remote Xen 3.3.1-RC4 CentOS 5.2 Dom0 and attempt to load DomU:-
[root@dhcppc0 xen]# cat IntrepidPVSRV-9.cfg

kernel = '/etc/xen/vmlinuz-2.6.27-9-server'
ramdisk = '/etc/xen/initrd.img-2.6.27-9-server'
memory = '4096'
root = '/dev/xvda2 ro'
disk = [
'file:/etc/xen/images/domains/IntrepidPVS/swap.img,xvda1,w',
'file:/etc/xen/images/domains/IntrepidPVS/disk.img,xvda2,w',
]
name = 'IntrepidPVS'
vif = [ 'bridge=eth0' ]
# dhcp = 'dhcp'
# vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3E:7D:DB:85' ]
on_poweroff = 'destroy'
on_reboot = 'restart'
on_crash = 'restart'
console='hvc0'

Setup Xen 3.3.0 Ubuntu Intrepid Server Dom0 via build xen-kernel based on http://xenbits.xensource.com/ext/linux-2.6.27-xen.hg

This posting, in general, follows up Clayton Shepard's "Howto Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex 8.10 Xen Dom0"([1]). However, several things went different. First, i had to disable XFS Support when building Novell's kernel, otherwise build just went out with error. Second,regardless i enabled Network Bridging Support as suggested in [2]. I still had to comment out "xen" bridging initiated via /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp and manually add the bridge to /etc/network/interfaces configuration file. I didn't take care of "xvc0" and used virtual frame buffer when tested CentOS 5.2 PV DomU and Ubuntu Intrepid Server HVM and PV DomUs at Xen 3.3.0 Intrepid Server Dom0 based on Novell's kernel

Install Intrepid Server PV DomU at Xen 3.3.0 Intrepid Server Dom0 (kernel 2.6.26-1-xen-amd64)

Attempting to reproduce How-To: Run Xen in Ubuntu Intrepid without compiling a Kernel by yourself from blog Chris’ World ([1]),
I had to disable any xen bridge definitions inside /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp and manually add the bridge to /etc/network/interfaces configuration file.
Otherwise, i wouldn't be able get xen-bridging network running with debian 2.6.26-1-xen-amd64 kernel under Xen 3.3 Interpid Hypervisor installed on the system via Synaptic Manager.
Per [1] downloaded from the Net:-

1.How-To: Run Xen in Ubuntu Intrepid without compiling a Kernel by yourself
2.Pygrub&Loading Ubuntu Intrepid Server PV DomU via serial console at Xen 3.3 CentOS 5.2 Dom0

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"
