Xen虚拟机在CentOS 5.5 GUI下的安装和配置

一、安装Xen虚拟机

一、用yum自动安装xen虚拟机软件包
# yum –y install xen*//用yum安装解决依赖问题

安装XEN需要的服务

# yum -y install kernel-xen*

安装XEN的相关内核

二、检查启动选项是否使用xen内核启动
1、检查xen内核文件
安装是否正常：文件位于/boot
# ls –lh /boot
total 9.5M
-rw-r–r– 1 root root 61K Mar 16 08:19 config-2.6.18-8.el5
-rw-r–r– 1 root root 60K Mar 16 09:27 config-2.6.18-8.el5xen
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1.0K Aug 15 14:47 grub

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 595K Mar 16 09:43 xen-syms-2.6.18-8.el5

2、检查grub配置
# cat /boot/grub/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. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
# root (hd0,0)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sda3
# initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/sda
default=1
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title CentOS (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=LABEL=/
module /initrd-2.6.18-8.el5xen.img
title CentOS (2.6.18-8.el5)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-8.el5 ro root=LABEL=/
initrd /initrd-2.6.18-8.el5.img
修改其中的default=1为default=0，启用xen内核

3、reboot重新启动计算机

4、重启后登录系统，检查XEN是否正常

5、 执行# xm list
Name ID Mem(MiB) VCPUs State Time(s)
Domain-0 0 3919 4 r—– 16.9
出现上述结果表示xen启动正常

6、检查log：
#ls -lh /var/log/xen
total 8.0K
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 36 Aug 15 15:43 xend-debug.log
-rw-r–r– 1 root root 1.8K Aug 15 15:43 xend.log
# cat /var/log/xen/xend-debug.log
Nothing to flush.
Nothing to flush.
表示一切正常
