[Xen-users] Fwd: How to create a Xen PV DomU with a dvd ISO image, using xl/xm

[ranjith krishnan <ranjithkrishnan1@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello, 

I was looking to create a Xen DomU with a .iso image saved in the hard disk. 

I ran into some trouble with http based install, hence looking at this option.

This is what i have currently. Just wanted to know if I am on the right track here, and hoping to get some tips if somebody has similar experience.

I compiled Xen 4.1.5 from source on a Fedora 17 Dom0, and I want to create DomU images.

I have downloaded the .iso image for Fedora 17. I have a logical volume xmf17lvm on volume group xenvg. 

Here is my install profile ( will use "xm create -c xmf17install" )

name="xmf17install"

memory=1024

vcpus=1

disk=['file:/home/isoimage/Fedora17.iso,xvdc:cdrom,r','phy:/dev/xenvg/xmf17lvm,xvda,w']

vif = [ 'bridge=br0' ]

>

>

boot='d'

builder='hvm'

Its almost 3 AM here, so I am giving this a break today. 

Will work on this tomorrow afternoon. 

If anyone has any helpful hints or comments regarding my approach, please let me know.
