The Xen hypervisor, a powerful open source industry standard for
|
|
virtualization, offers a powerful, efficient, and secure feature set for
|
|
virtualization of x86, x86_64, IA64, ARM, and other CPU architectures. It
|
|
supports a wide range of guest operating systems including Windows, Linux,
|
|
Solaris, and various versions of the BSD operating systems.
|
|
|
|
mbootpack is an optional dependency, it creates LILO compatible kernel.
|
|
libssh2 is also optional dependency, it can be enabled with: LIBSSH2=yes
|
|
ocaml-findlib is yet another optional dependency, it builds oxenstored
|
|
Additionally, BlueZ support can be enabled with: BLUEZ=yes and ocaml
|
|
|
|
In order to run Xen, you will need to install and boot from a Xen dom0
|
|
kernel. Check README.dom0 (in docs/dom0) for more information on how to do
|
|
that. Additionally, README.domU has information about unpriviledged guests.
|
|
|
|
README.openvswitch-extended explains a bit more advanced aproach to Open
|
|
vSwitch setup, more adventureous folk can use:
|
|
|
|
INSTALL_OPENVSWITCH_EXTENDED=yes ./xen.SlackBuild
|
|
|
|
This will install vif script and the config file under /etc/xen, helper
|
|
script will be stripped of its .sh suffix and installed into /usr/bin
|
|
|
|
See README.SLACKWARE (which is also installed with the package docs) for
|
|
setup, configuration, and usage hints.
