Re: [Xen-users] how to add Additional Domain
Jeremy Fang wrote:
According to the manual, it says: "The first step in creating a new
domain is to prepare a root
filesystem for it to boot off. .... A simple way to do this is simply to
boot from your standard OS install CD and install the distribution into
another partition on your hard drive."
My current df output is like the following:
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3 33198856 2564736 28947700 9% /
/dev/sda1 101089 24895 70975 26% /boot
none 65536 0 65536 0% /dev/shm
If I put RedHat 8.0 in CD and boot from there, which partition I am
going to choose from ?
Really appreciate if someone could shed some light on this setup.
It looks like you used up all your hard drive space in one
partition(unless your harddrive is bigger than 34 gig).
Either install parted and resize your / partition, or reinstall and set
up smaller partitions when you get to the fdisk stage.
It looks like your install took 2.5GB. Carving off 4-5 GB ought to cover
that installation fine. (You can go less than that, but you might need
to stretch things out over multiple partitions in the future.) It's up
to you...
Once you're done with either of those steps, reboot off the CD again,
and do a fresh install to a different place than your original
install(say /dev/sda4 or 5 or 6). When you get to the finalize/set up
your kernel/configure bootdisk phase, be careful you don't overwrite
your base install.
Does RedHat use GRUB? I think it's a requirement for booting Xen, so be
prepared to set that up as well.
For starters, download the 2.0-stable-install tgz and try booting that.
After you get a working system, you can start fiddling with building
your own XenLinux kernels.
