Project 2 - VM Server Install
First step of this project is to do a fresh install of the physical VM server.
- F12 → System Setup → Integrated Devices → Integrated NIC. Restart.
- 32-bit(i386)→ Debian/i386 Netboot.install Lenny Stable[text]
- Setup → Enter mirror manually → mirror → /debian/
- Setup install → install nothing → install grub boot loader
- Reboot and change the boot prioirty back to normal.
While running as root run the following….
- userdel -r vm02
- cd/etc/apt
- rm sources.list
- aptitude updaate
- aptitude upgrade
Next…
- Aptitude install openssh-client open ssh-server
- aptitude install xen-linux-system-2.26.26-2-xen-686
- aptitude install xen-tools
Next…
- cd /etc/xen
- vi xend-config.sxp
- Find the line (network-script network-bridge) and remove the # to uncomment this line.
- Find the line (network-script network-dummy) and add a # to commentout this line.
- Make sure that (vif-script vif-bridge)
- To quickly find these lines rather than scrolling through hit enter while not in insert mode and use a forward slash(/) and type in what you want to match.
Next…
- vi /etc/modules
- Set loop maxloop = 255
Next…
- cd /boot/grub
- vi menu.lst~
- Scroll down untill you find 4 lines pertaining to xen that do not have a .gz attached to them; remove those lines.
- Do this for the 3rd and 4th group of quad lines as well.
- After you've removed those 3 groups of 4 lines. There should be one remaining, on the line speficied as Kernal change it to match..
- kernel /boot/xen-3.2-1-i386.gz dom0_mem=262144
Next…
- cd /etc/xen-tools
- vi xen-tools.conf
- Search for the line #dir = /home/xen
- Remove the # and /home from the line. It should look like dir = /xen
- Uncomment install-method = debootstrap
- Down a little further find the “Disk and Sizing options” section and change the following…
- size = 2Gb
- dist = lenny
- Down further find the line that says dhcp = 1, and uncomment.
- Going further, the line passwd = 1, uncomment.
- serial_device = hvc0 #default, uncomment at the beginning of the line, leave the #default alone.
- A couple lines down, disk_device = xvda #default, uncomment, leave #default the same.
- At the bottom of the file uncomment and change the output line to match
- output = /xen/conf
- And the same for the extention line, it should read as..
- extension = .cfg
Next
- cd /
- mkdir /xen
- mkdir /xen/images
- mkdir /xen/conf
- mkdir /xen/save
- These can all be done at the same time, like…
- mkdir /xen /xen/images /xen/conf /xen/save
At this point you should reboot, and see your final product up and running!
