Re: [Xen-users] New to Xen



If you want the fastest path to getting Xen running with guests.. then what you probably want is XCP:

http://xen.org/products/cloudxen.html
http://wiki.xen.org/xenwiki/XCP_Overview
http://wiki.xen.org/xenwiki/XCP_Introduction

It's basically a bootable/installable CD linux dom0 based on centos with a xen distribution built-in that's manageable from citrix xencenter (compatible as XCP is derived from citrix xenserver).

I need the shortest path to install a Xen Dom0 and then Xen guest images.

1) If it exists, I will apprec iate it if I can be pointed to a Xen enabled distribution that would enable me to immediately start configuring DomU guests. (I would be very surprised if it doesnt exist)
2) A very good step by step introduction or tutorial on how to install the Guests in bridged and Nat mode respectively.


There's a really good book which can help you start off fast: "The book of XEN - Chris Takemura & Luke Crawford"

It really helped me getting started.
