This is my first questions to the list, I'm running my first Xen
server and 4 guest, but they are all Centos 5.5 and the host is Centos
to, is very easy to create Centops Guest machines.
Now, what I want to know is, do u have on production server with
Centos 5.x as host Freebsd 7/8 or Ubuntu 9/10 as guest?
I have been googling but the instructions are not to clear, I still
reading a lot about but just would like to know this.
To be completely honest, I would look at the stacklet.com images. Yes
they do cost a few dollars but IMHO it is well worth it. I personally
spent over two weeks trying to get ubuntu 10.04 to run as a paravirt
domu on my centos 5.5 xen 4.0 dom0 to no avail. The stacklet.com images
"just plain work".
Oh and they have all the CentOS 5.4/5.5, ubuntu 9.04/9.10/10.04,
Debian, Fedora 12/13, NetBSD, OpenSuse, and Slackware images. So they
should have just about anything you need. I use the Centos images even
though I can install via virt-install simply because it is instant
gratification rather than a few hours to download all the packages and
such.
And I am by no means saying this is the only way. Others have gotten
ubuntu 10.04 to work with some tinkering as a paravirt domu. However
the vast majority of what I read has had issues. So I chose the easy
way out since I needed a working ubuntu 10.04 domu asap. Your mileage
may vary.
I got, good to know that we have some external people that already did the job for us, is a pain to do it manually, we don't have a path to follow, I will try your link, I'm interest on FreeBSD.
