The following describes how to install Xen in RedHat and the problems encountered.

I. Configure the yum Source

II. Use yum install XX to install kernel-xen and xen-libs. Generally, there is a corresponding package in the installation image. If not, download the rpm package. The package used for this installation is:

Kernel-xen-2.6.18-274.el5.i686.rpm

Kernel-xen-devel-2.6.18-274.el5.i686.rpm

Xen-libs-3.0.3-132.el5.i386.rpm

3. Modify the default value in grub. conf to enable it from the kernel with xen

4. Reboot, restart the system

5. Download the rpm package of the xen tool and other required tools, and install the tool by running the rpm-ivh command.

Xen packages include:

Xen-3.0.3-132.el5.i386.rpm

Xen-devel-3.0.3-132.el5.i386.rpm

The dependent packages include:

Gnome-applet-vm-0.1.2-1.el5.i386.rpm

Libvirt-devel-0.1.8-15.el5.i386.rpm

Python-virtinst-0.99.0-2.el5.noarch.rpm

Libvirt-0.1.8-15.el5.i386.rpm

Libvirt-python-0.1.8-15.el5.i386.rpm

Virt-manager-0.2.6-7.el5.i386.rpm

Virtualization-en-US-5.0.0-7.noarch.rpm

Virtualization-zh-CN-5.0.0-7.noarch.rpm

Sat. Note that the version number in the xen-libs-3.0.3-132.el5.i386.rpm package must be consistent with the version number in the xen-3.0.3-132.el5.i386.rpm, that is, 3.0.3-132. e15.i386 the numbers and letters cannot be different. Otherwise, the following problems may occur:

In the displayed dialog box when xen virt manager is started on the graphic interface, vefrify that: Local host xen kernel booted and xend started are displayed. This is probably the information, but you cannot remember it accurately.

When running the xm list command on the Character interface, the couldn 'tfind file, xend is running information is printed.

Output ERROR (SrvDaemon: 297) Exception starting xend (13, 'permission denied ') in/var/log/xen/xend. log.

7. Therefore, make sure the version is consistent. The rpm packages related to xen are not very easy to find, and several sources are provided for reference.
