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

Use

As root, with an Internet connection and after having added the RHEL Server Optional repository to your server, simply run:

cd ~/pxdi
./pxdi_rhel6.pl

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. :)
