Hi All,
I was wondering if there was a guide, or some information about how to
setup a SL5 machine as a Xen DomU node from scratch?
Thanks

Hi Paul,
You're talking about the virtual machines running on the master, not setting up
the master. Correct?
There is the redhat documentation
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-5-manual/en-US/RHEL510/Virtualization_Guide/index.html
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-5-manual/en-US/RHEL510/Virtual_Server_Administration/index.html
I personally do two different ways.
Graphically:
Run "virt-manager" select "new" and follow the steps. Very easy and
straightforward.
By Hand:
If I am testing something and I'm going to be doing it again and again, I use
virt-install. This is a couple of the examples of what I do. For all the
options, virt-install --help
paravirtualized
virt-install --mac=aa:ee:05:00:00:05 -p --ram=1000 --name=32slf50 --vnc
--location=http://<myserver>/linux/scientific/50/i386
fully virtulized with a network install cd-rom in the drive (install via
network)
virt-install --mac=AA:EE:04:00:00:05 --name=32sl309 --ram=500 -v
--cdrom=/dev/cdrom --vnc
