These are just some notes on how to get an Etch install with Xen up and running fast. While this document still needs a lot of work, we are recording the notes here for the time being.

  1. Install Debian (currently, Etch)
  2. For partitioning, use a large LVM partition, create LVG named virtuals (or whatever) which will hold the partitions for the virtual machines.
  3. create root partition (~10G, 5% reserve, bootable, ext3)
  4. create swap partition (~1G)
  5. create LVM (remainder of disk space)
  6. create LVG within LVM to contain the individual virtuals' partitions.
  7. apt-get install xen-linux-system xen-tools alien (or use dselect)
  8. configure xen-tools (/etc/xen-tools)

At this point, you are ready to create some DOMU's. For instructions on how to create a Debian DOMU on this box, see Xen Virtual, Debian
