Hi All,

I installed xen 3.4.1 from source along with linux 2.6.31.4. But xen-create-image command is not available. Why is that so? In this case, how should I create guest VM's and install guest operating system.

Thanks.

xen-create-image is not part of Xen.
It's external 3rdparty script/tool.

you can create vms using pre-built image. that's the most simple and quick way of doing this. Use the related debian commands in the following sequence to create guests

Bring up local Apache Server to create HTTP installation source.



# chkconfig httpd on

# service httpd start

# mount -o loop f11.iso /var/www/html/f11

# wget http://192.168.1.36/f11/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz

# wget http://192.168.1.36/f11/images/pxeboot/initrd.img

The following command creates a 20 GB disk image file for you to use as virtual harddisk for your guest operating system. This operation will take some time to execute. Run as root:

# dd if=/dev/zero of=/path/to/guest-os-hdd.img bs=1024k seek=20000 count=0

Then you use the following disk directive in your guest os configuration: disk = [ 'file:/path/to/guest-os-hdd.img,hda,w']

Create installation profile:-



name="F11PV"

memory=2048

disk =

[
'file:/path/to/guest-os-hdd.img,hda,w']


vif = [ 'bridge=eth0' ]

vfb = [ 'type=vnc,vncunused=1']

kernel = "/home/boris/fedora/vmlinuz"

ramdisk = "/home/boris/fedora/initrd.img"

vcpus=2

on_reboot = 'restart'

on_crash = 'restart'



# xm create f11.install

# vncviewer localhost:0

Xen : processors frequency control

Hello,

I am using 3.4.1 on a small server and the cpufreq control seem not to
work with XEN, the grub options are :

kernel /boot/xen.gz dom0_mem=1792M cpufreq=xen

Is that function enabled in XEN or may I have to recompile XEN with some
specific option (I am using a "standard" Xen from OpenSuse 11.2).

Regards

JP Pozzi
