What?
PXDI; Pasik's Xen Dom0 Installer, is a tool to download, compile and install everything needed to get full Xen support on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
It's designed for developers, mainly. Once Pasi/Xen gets their RHEL 6 repository working, I would advise no longer using this program.
Credit and Blame
This program was written to automate Pasi Kärkkäinen's tutorial. Credit for getting Xen working belongs to him.
If this program breaks your server though, blame me.
Download
cd ~
git clone git://github.com/digimer/pxdi.git
Requirements
- Run as root
- Internet connection
- The RHEL Server Optional repository enabled for your server
- perl (no special modules, just bare perl)
- 64-bit (x86_64) environment
Use
cd ~/pxdi
./pxdi_rhel6.pl
Warning
This is a very young program, and likely has lots of bugs. DO NOT use this on a machine that matters. It should work, but I make no guarantee that it won't hose your machine. Please report success or failure.
It Will Appear To Hang
The install will take quite some time, depending on your Internet connection and processing power. In particular, the install will appear to pause while yum is downloading. This is because yum doesn't write download progress to STDOUT and I've not yet worked around it. Just be patient. :)
