Implementing Web Server with Xen Virtual + LVM


I need to host a web server in our company.

We bought the new server which is containing 1000GB

we plan to host Human Resource Information System, Monitoring and evaluation system, and Intranet(web based).

I need to host a web server with virtualizaiton In case i need to extend the Size, i have the feature to extend size of virtualization.

what are the setting i have to do mainly LVM

in based OS how many GB i have to give ?

in the virtualzation how many GB i need to allocate ?


when i create the Virtual OS, it will take capacity from based OS or Unallocated space ?

Can I suggest backing up here? Why are you looking at using virtualization for this?? Just so you can add more disk space? If so, being virtualized won't specifically help you at all, and I'd really recommend avoiding it.

I'm saying that there is no point using virtualization if you are only doing it under the belief that it makes adding disk space, as it doesn't. You'd have to do all the same things as on the native system plus the virtualization stuff on top.

Right, well that's not what you originally said the virtualization is for.

If you're using centOS / RHEL then you would use KVM, not Xen. Xen is no longer supported by them, and KVM is generally much nicer anyway.

because it's not used anymore. If you install CentOS 5.6 or RHEL then it now uses KVM, not Xen. Same goes for Ubuntu and other current systems. KVM is the official Kernel based virtualization, and community usage of Xen has tailed off a lot since Citrix bought Xensource and started using it as a primarily commercial system.
