Re: [Xen-users] xen Installation through YUM

[Boris Derzhavets <bderzhavets@xxxxxxxxx>]

Set in /etc/yum.conf set gpgcheck=0 ( temporarily )
to install unsigned rpms supposed to be built latter.
Activate rpmbuild on F12:-

# yum install transfig texi2html libaio-devel dev86 \
  glibc-devel.i686 e2fsprogs-devel gitk mkinitrd

1. Install Xen 3.4.2 via xen-3.4.2-2.fc13.src.rpm. Download from Net xen-3.4.2-2.fc13.src.rpm. Now :-

# rpm -iv xen-3.4.2-2.fc13.src.rpm
# cd
# cd rpmbuild/SPEC
# rpmbuild -bb ./xen.spec
# cd ../RPMS/x86_64
yum install xen-3.4.2-2.fc12.x86_64.rpm \
xen-debuginfo-3.4.2-2.fc12.x86_64.rpm \
xen-devel-3.4.2-2.fc12.x86_64.rpm \
xen-doc-3.4.2-2.fc12.x86_64.rpm \
xen-hypervisor-3.4.2-2.fc12.x86_64.rpm \
xen-libs-3.4.-2.fc12.x86_64.rpm \
xen-runtime-3.4.2-2.fc12.x86_64.rpm

Xen Hypervisor 3.4.2 installed

2. Install Libvirt

# yum install libvirt libvirt-python python-virtinst \
virt-manager virt-viewer

PVOPS kernel 2.6.31.6 may be installed via Jeremy Fitzhardinge
Git Repository to support Xen 3.4.2 Dom0.

# git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeremy/xen.git linux-2.6-xen
# cd linux-2.6-xen
# make menuconfig ( setup Xen Dom0 support)
# make -j(x)(number_of_kernels)
# make modules_install install

You may also want to build 2.6.32.9 pvops

# git checkout origin/xen/stable -b  xen/stable

I just switched from xen/master ( default 2.6.31.6 ) to xen/stable (the most recent supposed to become LTS - 2.6.32.9)

Fedora 12 doesn't include Xen dom0 capable kernel, see:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/XenPvopsDom0

You need to get one of the 'testing' rpms, or compile it yourself.
