4.6 Creating a Hardware Virtualized Guest Manually

To create a hardware virtualized guest manually:

1.

Install the operating system on a disk by CD-ROM pack or network install method
(PXE install).

2.

Create the guest configuration file, /etc/xen/domain.cfg. This is the minimum
(without advanced options) hardware virtualized guest configuration file. Modify
this file to suit your configuration.

#Config File for Full virtualization

import os, re

arch = os.uname()[4]

if re.search('64', arch):

arch_libdir = 'lib64'

else:

arch_libdir = 'lib'

# Kernel for hvm domain will be hvmloader

kernel="/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"

builder='hvm'

# Memory in MB for HVM guest domU

memory=3000

# Name of domain

name="hvm-dom"

# No of virtual cpus

vcpus=4

# Mac address and corresponding bridge

vif=[ 'mac=00:50:56:1e:34:b5 , bridge=xenbr0' ]

# Disk in which Guest OS is installed

disk=[ 'phy:/dev/cciss/c0d1,hda,w' ]

# Here /dev/cciss/c0d1 is the disk onwhich OS is installed.

device_model='/usr/' + arch_libdir + '/xen/bin/qemu-dm'

# Enable vnc library

sdl=0

vnc=1

# Vncviewer no is 1

vncviewer=1

# Password to access the vnc for this guest

vncpasswd="welcome"

vnclisten="0.0.0.0"

ne2000=1

serial='pty'

# Enable USB

usb=1

usbdevice='mouse'
