Re: [Xen-users] Installing xen on RHEL 5.4

[kishore kumar <bodkekumar@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks to everyone for the reply.

 

I did do yum install xen as well as yum install kernel-xen.

 

It installed kernel xen which I think is the DOM 0 kernel.  But it did not install the actuall xen itself.

 

I checked doing yum list xen*.  There is no xen installed.

 

Then I spoke to customer center for the Red Hat, they told me that I have just the Basic RHEL v 5.4.  I need to purchase the RHEL5.4 with Virtualization and Multi OS support to have the Xen and all the virtualization support.

 

Then I had another question in my mind, thinking that can we compile and install the xen source itself on RHEL basic version?

 

But again I came across with another problem, when I was trying to pull out the source from mercurial repository.  

 

It gave me saying hg command not found.  Then I did yum install mercurial.  It again gave me the message saying No packages available.

 

Why is this so?

I think RHEL5 desktop needs the "Multi OS" option/channel to have Xen.
