Never tried it but it looks like what you want. > > http://linux.die.net/man/1/virt-install > Yeah you can use virt-install on CentOS 5 Xen host to install CentOS 6 PV domUs, I do that often, an example for GUI installation: virt-install -d -n vmname -r 1024 --vcpus=2 -f /dev/vg01/vmname_disk0 -b virbr0 --vnc -p -l "http://ftp.funet.fi/pub/mirrors/centos.org/6.5/os/x86_64"; (you need to have virt-viewer installed, that'll be used to display the VNC GUI console). -- Pasi _______________________________________________ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt
