Hi,
I'm a newbie to Xen.
I was using VMware until now to work on a guest OS which will boot
from a live CD. How to boot the same CD in Xen, and how to write a new
configuration file (vmx) file for this.
1. Create config file /etc/xen/knoppix (you can use any different name)
$ cat /etc/xen/knoppix
kernel = "hvmloader"
builder='hvm'
memory = 128
name = "knoppix"
vif = [ 'type=ioemu, bridge=xenbr0' ]
disk = [ 'file:/path/to/your/knoppix.iso,hda:cdrom,r' ]
device_model = 'qemu-dm'
sdl=0
vnc=1
vncpasswd=''
stdvga=0
serial='pty'
boot='d'
2. Start the domain
xm create knoppix
3. Attach to its vnc console:
vncviewer 127.0.0.1:0
Note that bridge xenbr0 must exist!
If your virtual bridge's name differs from xenbr0,
specify correct name in the config file.
Also you can google for any information related to
Xen HVM domains.
I'm working on a Intel P4 2.8GHz based Desktop PC with 2GB of RAM. Do
i need to change my configuration?
Please give me steps.
Thanks in advance,
Sairam
