RHEL 5 and Xen compatibility
Hello..I am not very proficient in Linux kernel stuffs although I know my basics. I have a question and all suggestions/solutions will be highly appreciated...
I got to know that RHEL 5 has inbuilt Xen Support...So I tried to install a RHEL 5.0 Server on my P4 machine. On top of it I tried to install Xen specific RPMs and some other RPMs needed by Xen.
The additinal RPMs added after base RHEL 5.0 installation are :
bridge-utils-1.1.2.i386.rpm
iproute-2.6.18-4.el5.i386.rpm
kernel-xen-2.6.18-8.el5.i686.rpm
kernel-xen-devel-2.6.18-8.el5.i686.prm
udev-095-14.5.el5.i386.rpm
After all this the grub.conf gets modified automatically and looks like this:
# 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. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
# root (hd0,0)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
# initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
#hiddenmenu
title Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (2.6.18-8.el5xen)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /xen.gz-2.6.18-8.el5
module /vmlinuz-2.6.18-8.el5xen ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet
module /initrd-2.6.18-8.el5xen.img
title Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (2.6.18-8.el5)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-8.el5 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.18-8.el5.img
After all this I am ready to boot properly into Xen Specific Linux and the original RHEL . But there is no /etc/xen directory and nor ar e the tools like xend and xm available.
So am I missing some other RPMS that need to be installed??
Thanks
