First step of this project is to do a fresh install of the physical VM server.

1. F12 → System Setup → Integrated Devices → Integrated NIC. Restart.
2. 32-bit(i386)→ Debian/i386 Netboot.install Lenny Stable[text]
3. Setup → Enter mirror manually → mirror → /debian/
4. Setup install → install nothing → install grub boot loader
5. Reboot and change the boot prioirty back to normal.

While running as root run the following….

1. userdel -r vm02
2. cd/etc/apt
3. rm sources.list
4. wget http://10.80.2.6/files/student/sources.list
5. aptitude updaate
6. aptitude upgrade

Next…

1. Aptitude install openssh-client open ssh-server
2. aptitude install xen-linux-system-2.26.26-2-xen-686
3. aptitude install xen-tools

Next…

1. cd /etc/xen
2. vi xend-config.sxp
   1. Find the line (network-script network-bridge) and remove the # to uncomment this line.
   2. Find the line (network-script network-dummy) and add a # to commentout this line.
   3. Make sure that (vif-script vif-bridge)
   4. 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…

1. vi /etc/modules
2. Set loop maxloop = 255

Next…

1. cd /boot/grub
2. vi menu.lst~
3. Scroll down untill you find 4 lines pertaining to xen that do not have a .gz attached to them; remove those lines.
4. Do this for the 3rd and 4th group of quad lines as well.
5. 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…

1. cd /etc/xen-tools
2. vi xen-tools.conf
3. Search for the line #dir = /home/xen
4. Remove the # and /home from the line. It should look like dir = /xen
5. Uncomment install-method = debootstrap
6. Down a little further find the “Disk and Sizing options” section and change the following…

• size = 2Gb
• dist = lenny

1. Down further find the line that says dhcp = 1, and uncomment.
2. Going further, the line passwd = 1, uncomment.
3. serial_device = hvc0 #default, uncomment at the beginning of the line, leave the #default alone.
4. A couple lines down, disk_device = xvda #default, uncomment, leave #default the same.
5. At the bottom of the file uncomment and change the output line to match

• output = /xen/conf

1. And the same for the extention line, it should read as..

• extension = .cfg

Next

1. cd /
2. mkdir /xen
3. mkdir /xen/images
4. mkdir /xen/conf
5. 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!
