I've successfully followed the instructions from mark which can actually
be found here:
http://mark.foster.cc/wiki/index.php/Centos-4_on_Xen
I used quite a minimal CentOS4.1 as xen0 and also "regular" CentOS4.1
installation(-clone)s as guest systems. They all work pretty well and fast.
I had some trouble with the init script for xendomains which doesn't
seem to be quite compatible with regards to CentOS' (or should I say
RHEL's) implementation of /lib/lsb. (or vice versa). I can't remember
anymore the solution - as soon as I'll find the time for that, I'll do a
diff against the original file and post my solution.
Moreover there's some more little stuff not mentioned in the above doc
which I had to do, but that's all feasible stuff. I wish I had the time
to document all that.
Has anyone else made good or bad experience with xen? How do you like it?
What about your opinion for honestly using it and not only playing
within a [[Matrix]] [TM]?
My opinion about it: It's a good alternative for my configuration at
home as it was before (linux-1: Router and Mail, linux-2: fileserver,
linux-3: development) to save some energy cost (i.e. electricity). I
wonder how it works under heavy usage, say 10+ users. Has anyone got
some experience with that?
Regards
Michael
