VLM for Xen (Para Virtualized)
Installation Guide
kernel = "/path/to/hvmloader"
Device Model path
Configure the path to qemu-dm. This path may differ depending on the Linux distribution being
used as Dom0
device_model="/path/to /qemu-dm"
Within the sample configuration file the correct settings for the kernel and
device_model are provided for OpenSUSE 12.1, Debian 6.0 and CentOS
6.3.
Comment out the operating systems not in use.
Location of the LoadMaster-VLM-x.x-xx.disk file
Configure the path to the location of the LoadMaster-VLM-x.x-xx.disk file.
disk=[ 'tap:aio:/path/to/LoadMaster-VLM-x.x-xx-XEN.disk,xvda,w' ]
Where ‘x.x-xx’ denotes the release number
MAC Addresses
Enter the MAC address and network bridge information for each NIC required in the installation.
vif=[ 'mac=00:16:3e:xx:xx:xx, bridge=br0, model=e1000',
'mac=00:16:3e:xx:xx:xx, bridge=br1, model=e1000']
It's recommended to use a MAC address inside the range 00:16:3e:xx:xx:xx.
This address range is reserved for use by Xen.
Only NIC types of ‘e1000’ are currently supported
VNC Support
It is recommended to use VNC to administer the console.
vnc=1
If you intend to configure a Virtual Service that utilizes L7 transparency, it
is highly recommended that the NICs on Dom0 have the Generic Receive
Offload (GRO) option turned off as otherwise performance levels may be
impacted.
