George,

Never mind - I had an old Xen repo I was trying to use some time ago... This was me.

Sorry!

George,

Just an FYI - I tried to run the rpm command and none of the repos showed up enabled by default.

I tried enabling them manually, but I get this error:

One of the configured repositories failed (CentOS-7 - xen),
and yum doesn't have enough cached data to continue. At this point the
only safe thing yum can do is fail. There are a few ways to work "fix"
this:

I didn't spend too much time debugging - but that was what I got straight away after installing centos-release-xen-7-7.el6.x86_64.rpm and manually enabling some of the repos.

So first of all, if you've used the CBS before, please note the name
change -- it's no longer virt6-testing, but virt6-xen-44-testing.

Easiest way to install:

rpm -ivh http://cbs.centos.org/repos/virt6-xen-44-testing/x86_64/os/Packages/centos-release-xen-7-7.el6.x86_64.rpm

This will set up yum repositories for both the eventual release
repositories (enabled by default), and the community build system
repositories (disabled by default).

At the moment, all packages will be stored in the virt-xen-44-testing
repository.  You can either enable this by default by editing
/etc/yum.repos.d/VirtSIG-Xen.repo, or by adding
"--enablerepo=virt-xen-44-testing".

If you want, you can edit defaults /etc/sysconfig/xen-kernel

Next, run 'yum update' to get the new kernel:

yum --enablerepo=virt-xen-44-testing update kernel

Now install xen:

yum --enablerepo=virt-xen-44-testing install xen

This should grab both xen and the updated kernel package.  It should
also automatically:
* Add default commandline parameters for Xen and Linux when booting under Xen
* Arrange for xen to come up first in the grub
* Set the default boot entry to Xen.

That's it!  Reboot and you should be good to go.

Libvirt packages haven't been rebuilt -- not sure if they work or not.
If they don't, let me know and I'll re-submit them..

Please report any problems or feedback to this list.

-George
