My end goal: To setup a dom0 Linux server, running 64bit Linux
(for server with 16GB+ RAM) & have a Windows (2003 / 2008) domU
running on top of it.
that shouldn't be that tricky.
So far, I have tried:
CentOS 5.1 + default XEN, no luck
CentOS 5.1 + recompiled XEN 3.2, no luck
haven't tried CentOS or Fedora yet
I'd prefer to stick with these, since I know it very well, and our
control panel manufacturers recommend it.
I don't even get as far as Windows CD booting up, I don't even get
the console.
Console? You need to use VNC or if you're running an X-server on
your dom0 you could also use SDL. Did you try to start Windows with
"xm create <config> -c"?
Yes, I have started the domU via xm create -c /etc/xen/windows2003,
and can see it running as well. The problem comes into connecting to
you, and now that you mention it, I probably need VNC, but how do I
tell VNC to assign an IP to that domU if Windows is not running yet
(and I haven't created an IP for it yet)?
I have been able to setup Windows 2003, using virt manager in Gnome,
on CentOS 5.0 x64, but I need to set it up via SSH on a remote
server. Any tips?
That is quite simple:
1. Edit your /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp and search for
#(vnc-listen '127.0.0.1')
change it to
(vnc-listen '0.0.0.0')
You could also set a password with
(vncpasswd '<yourpasswordhere>')
save the file and restart xend or reboot
2. Edit your HVM-DomU config file:
add a new line with
vnc=1
save the file and start your domU
Use the realvnc-viewer to connect to your dom0 (not domU)
That should be it :-D

This is probably why I haven't tried it yet. From what I understand,
this will allow me to VNC directly to the dom0, but what if the server
doesn't have X installed (and I can't / don't want to install X?)
So, how do I set it up so that the VNC listener will work directly
with the windows2003 domU ?
You set it up exacly as I said. You don't need X in dom0. The dom0 only
provides the service of a direct connection to the virtual graphics
device on the domU. As a domU neither has an IP address nor a vnc
service running while it's in the install process, the dom0 does this
for you. And with Windows in a domU I'd guess you will prefer RDP
anyway. So, use vnc to install a hvm domU and afterwards use another
remote connection like RDP.
