[Xen-users] Installing Xen 4.0.1 on Xen Server FP1

[Antonio Castañeda Colín <dftonywhite@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello everyone,

I've been struggling to install Xen 4.0.1 from source on Xen Server FP1,
this is due to the lack of the latter of remus as high availability and fault
tolerance tool, so I need it and want to install it... but I see no other way than
recompiling and installing xen hypervisor from source...

Though it's been a hard task and it's still giving many problems at times,
most have been package-dependency related issues.
Well, I have managed to solve many of them, except this one:

During the #make tools process, after a few minutes it ends up with the following:

make[7]: Entering directory `/root/xen-4.1.0/tools/blktap2/vhd/lib'

I've tried to provide it with the missing header (uuid.h) and Makefile but have not
succeeded, even downloading an older version of the hypervisor but didn't work
either.

If anyone has gone through this and has a solution, or else tested remus and thus
knows another installation procedure for it, I'd be really grateful for you support
on this issue.

Thank you in advance.

Anthony.
