RE: [Xen-users] Building asterisk@home domU manually?

["John Cianfarani" <jcianfarani@xxxxxxxxxx>]

For any physical hardware I've been looking to go to an external device
to do it and then connect it back to asterisk via sip.  Currently I'm
looking at Vegastream (they seem to have a wide array of hardware but
it's been rather difficult to get any at the moment)

Thanks
John

John,

Thanks for the info. I have Asterisk 1.2.6 running just fine with only
VoIP. 
The problem I had was getting the Zaptel hardware detected in the DomU.
I 
never figured it out. But if I load a Dom0 then it works. So it is
possible, 
I was just looking for a way to do it in a non-privileged DomU.

Ryan

I've gone the same route as you dave and using only ztdummy.
To do this and make it work you also need to recompile the Dom0/U kernel
for 1000hz timing.

Dave do you notice any small chops in the voice quality? Have you had to
change sched-sedf parameters?


Ryan it should be pretty easy to install the A@H into a DomU.  Once you
get a domU running (preferably CentOS since that's what A@H uses) make
sure the GPG key is installed with "rpm --import
/usr/share/doc/centos-release-4/RPM-GPG-KEY" and make sure you can
install update packages with yum.

Then just download the tar.gz a@h file instead of the .iso file.  Inside
the .tar.gz the ReleaseNotes.txt shows instructions

Here is a brief copy and paste:

disable SELINUX (edit /etc/selinux/config)

Make a directory to install from and put the install file there
   mkdir /var/aah_load
   cp asteriskathome-2.7.tar.gz /var/aah_load
   cd /var/aah_load

Untar the file install file
   tar xvfz asteriskathome-2.7.tar.gz

Install
   ./install.sh


Hope that helps

Thanks
John Cianfarani

No, and I think that may be part of the key to my success with it. I
am using the ztdummy driver though. I'm also still using Xen 2.0.7.
Haven't had time to try out 3.0.2 yet. I am going to need a FXS port
in the near future, and I'm torn between trying to get a FXS card to
work vs. getting an ATA like device to stay away from the zaptel
drivers.

I can't recall seeing anyone successfully using zaptel hardware under
xen in a domU, but I might of just missed it.

Dave
