[Xen-users] how to add Additional Domain

[Jeremy Fang <balanceinfotech@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all:

 

I just finished installing xen 2.4 by building from xen-2.0 source on RedHat Enterprise Workstation version 3 (kernel 2.4.21) following the Xen User Mnaul (v.2.0 for x86).  I am able to start xend on chapter 3 of the User Manual.  Now I want to add two more guest OSs on top of the xen: 

   1) RedHat 8.0

   2) RedHat 7.2

 

Could anyone tell me how to do that ?

 

According to the manual, it says: "The first step in creating a new domain is to prepare a root

filesystem for it to boot off. .... A simple way to do this is simply to boot from your standard OS install CD and install the distribution into another partition on your hard drive."

 

My current df output is like the following:

 

Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3             33198856   2564736  28947700   9% /
/dev/sda1               101089     24895     70975       26% /boot
none                     65536         0          65536        0% /dev/shm

 

If I put RedHat 8.0 in CD and boot from there, which partition I am going to choose from ?

 

Really appreciate if someone could shed some light on this setup.

 

Thanks,

 

Jeremy
