How to install Xen4.2 in Centos6.5

This article is to share with you about how to install Xen4.2 in Centos6.5, the editor thinks it is very practical, so I share it with you to learn. I hope you can get something after reading this article.

[root@localhost] # cat / etc/redhat-release CentOS release 6.5 (Final)

Install xen

[root@localhost ~] # yum install centos-release-xen.x86_64 configure xen's yum repository [root@localhost ~] # yum install xen-y [root@localhost ~] # yum install kernel-xen [root@localhost ~] # yum install bridge-utils

Execution

[root@localhost yum.repos.d] # / usr/bin/grub-bootxen.sh

View grub.conf

[root@localhost yum.repos.d] # cat / etc/grub.conf# grub.conf generated by anaconda## Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file# NOTICE: You have a / boot partition.

Set xend to boot automatically

[root@localhost yum.repos.d] # chkconfig xend on

Restart

After rebooting the system, you should enter the Xen kernel by default. You can confirm whether the installation is successful by uname-r and xm info:

[root@localhost ~] # cd / proc/xen/ [root@localhost xen] # lscapabilities privcmd xenbus xsd_kva xsd_ port [root @ localhost xen] # cat capabilities control_d see if there is a keyword to start Xend [root @ localhost xen] # / etc/init.d/xend start to start the xend daemon: [OK] [root] # chkconfig xend on

Xen is special. There must be a host management hardware called Domain-0 in Xen.

Create a virtual machine first create a virtual disk image

There are many tools to create a virtual machine, such as virt-manager, virt-install, virsh, xen-create-image and so on, but these tools have to reinstall the operating system of the virtual machine every time, which requires human-computer interaction, slow speed, not automatic, and is not conducive to scripting. Is there any quick way to create / deploy / clone virtual machines? You can make a template first, and then copy the template. We only need two steps: 1, create a blank file image; 2, and then copy a packaged Linux system template. Usually, as long as a packaged minimum Linux system is about 200MB, copying can be done in an instant on a highly configured server, which is much faster than copying the entire virtual machine image file (such as 10GB). Specific steps:

I use virt-install to create a virtual machine here.

Create a virtual disk

Dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/vm01 bs=4096 seek=1024k count=0 mkfs-t ext4 / home/vm01/etc/init.d/iptables stop [root@localhost ~] # mount-o loop CentOS-6.5-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso / tmp/os/ first copy the CD file to the physical machine and hang it on the [root@localhost ~] # cat / etc/exports nfs output / tmp/os 192.168.1.* (ro) [root@localhost ~] # exportfs -rvexporting 192.168.1.*:/tmp/os

Install a virtual machine

Virt-install-name=domadin01-ram=512-vcpus=2-graphics none-file=/home/vm01-location / tmp/os/-graphics none does not use a graphical interface

Enter as follows

Create a bridged network

Set up ftp server installation

[root@e3 ~] # yum install vsftpd # install ftp [root @ E3 ~] # / etc/init.d/vsftpd # launch ftp [root@e3 ~] # chkconfig vsftpd on # Boot self-start [root@e3 tmp] # wget http://mirrors.sohu.com/centos/6/isos/x86_64/CentOS-6.6-x86_64-minimal.iso # download Centos6.6 MINI installation disk [root@e3 tmp] # mkdir / mnt/cdrom/ [root@e3 tmp ] # mount CentOS-6.6-x86_64-minimal.iso / mnt/cdrom/ # Mount [root@e3 tmp] # cp-r / mnt/cdrom/ var/ftp/ [root@e3 tmp] # cd / root/centos/cdrom/ [root@e3 cdrom] # vim .treeinfo # modify [general] family = CentOStimestamp = 1414159790.06variant = totaldiscs = 1version = 6.6discnum = 1packagedir = arch = x86room64 [images-xen] kernel = isolinux/vmlinuzinitrd = isolinux/initrd.img [images-x86_ 64] initrd = images/pxeboot/ initrd.IMG [stage 2] mainimage = images/install.img# forced save when finished: wq! Then restart your vftpd. Test: see if you can access

Start installation

-n represents the guest machine name

-r indicates the amount of memory allocated

-- vcpus represents several virtual CPU

-- disk disk path

-p paravirtualization

-l specify the installation source

-vnc uses vnc

-c specify cdrom

-s-- file-size specifies the disk size in GB

-f-- file specifies that the disk uses file

-- disk= specifies different disk files

For the installation process, refer to this blog post http://my.oschina.net/kcw/blog/369627

Virtual machines installed with virt-install-promat need to have vnc-vncview installed

If you can't connect with xm console centos after installation, you need to add a parameter to the kernel-- console=hvc0.
