First of all i thanks Lozz for his negative score, which has stirred up my mind.Set up Xen 4.0 Dom0 with pvops kernel 2.6.32.12 on top of Ubuntu 10.04 Server ([2]) . Install packages
# apt-get install virtinst python-virtinst virt-viewer

The final target of this post is to demonstrate how flexible is Ubuntu Karmic Koala Server environment. Build Xen 4.0-rc8 and the most recent stable pvops kernel 2.6.32.10 Loading Xen Instance followed by install Ubuntu’s Libvirt environment, providing utility virt-install for creating PV and HVM DomUs, virt-manager completely functional to manage any DomU been built via virt-install.

Due to set of CSs for GRUB 2 Support written by Ian Campbell usual sharing image devices between Ubuntu Karmic Koala Server HVM and PV Guests appears available at Xen-4.0 Linux Dom0. Fedora 12 has been selected due to presence of Libvirt 0.7.1 providing virt-install and virt-manager utilities.

Unlike virt-manager, virt-install is a command line tool that allows you to create KVM guests on a headless server. You may ask yourself: "But I can use vmbuilder to do this, why do I need virt-install?" The difference between virt-install and vmbuilder is that vmbuilder is for creating Ubuntu-based guests, whereas virt-install lets you install all kinds of operating systems (e.g.

The schema bellow would work fine at same Xen 4.0 Dom0 on top of Ubuntu 9.10 Server with several issues to be fixed. Virt-install command line would require –os-type=linux –os-variant=rhel5 , symlink for pygrub , invoked by default , should be created pointing to /usr/local/bin/pygrub. On Fedora 12 everything is just ready for RHEL 6 PV DomU virt-install.

The most recent features of Jeremy Fitzhardinge kernel have been enabled and tested at Xen 3.5 Dom0 on top of Ubuntu Karmic Koala (Beta) Server. Xen host been built reboots directly into Gnome Desktop environment on the box with Core2Quad CPU, 8 GB RAM, Radeon HD 4X50 Video Card. Tuning kernel 2.6.31.1 described in details bellow with snapshots of every configuration step been taken.
