Es:Instalación del Dominio0 en Debian
Back to: Xen on Debian
This parameters were made for the Xen installation on Linux Debian over Intel machines or AMD 64 bits.
1) Install the adecuate software to enable it
Debian autoconfigurates grub in order to use the Xen hypervisor for booting the next time
2) Reboot the machine
3) Check if the machine has the dom0 kernel of Xen
You have to see somethimg like this
Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 x86_64
Also, you can see if dom0 is running by running the following command:
And the output will be
Name ID Mem VCPUs State Time(s)
Domain-0 0 7926 8 r----- 20.0
4) Edit the /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp file and uncomment the follwing lines
(network-script 'network-bridge netdev=eth0')
(vif-script vif-bridge)
NOTE: Reboot the daemon before doing any change on this file
5) If you are using images on files, edit /etc/modules and change the "loop" module line in order to look like this
loop max_loop=64
CREATING IMAGES
1) Edit the /etc/xen-tools/xen-tools.conf file and put the configuration you like to. Example:
dir = /home/xen
install-method = debootstrap
size = 4Gb # Disk image size.
memory = 1024Mb # Memory size
swap = 1024Mb # Swap size
fs = ext3 # use the EXT3 filesystem for the disk image.
dist = lenny # Default distribution to install.
image = sparse # Specify sparse vs. full disk images.
kernel = /boot/vmlinuz-`uname -r`
initrd = /boot/initrd.img-`uname -r`
mirror = http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/
ext3_options = noatime,nodiratime,errors=remount-ro
gateway = 192.168.100.1
netmask = 255.255.255.0
broadcast = 192.168.100.255
passwd = 1
2) Generate the image by using the following command.
NOTE: The last script does not take on count some details, is necessary to fix them
3) Edit the /etc/xen/vm1.cfg file and modify the following lines for looking like this
root = '/dev/sda2 ro console=/dev/hvc0'
vif = [ 'bridge=eth0' ]
4) Mount the image
5) Edit the file /mnt/etc/inittab and change the line
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1
For it to look like this
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 hvc0
6) Edit the /mnt/etc/securetty file and add to the end of the line
hvc0
7) For booting the virtual machine run the following command:
