Re: [CentOS] CentOS 6 + XEN problem

2011-09-06 Thread andreas.balg
Hello Rudi,

Regarding the tutorial for RHEL6 and Xen I'd like to remind you of the fact 
that CentOS is 100% compatible clone of RHEL so basically everything you read 
and find on the internet regarding RHEL6 can usually be applied identically to 
any CentOS6 system as well ...

Regarding those kernels mentioned I'd assume as they are being offered by 
xen.org directly and made by one of their key developers they can be assumed 
stable and trustworthy - But if you want to setup a production site with Xen 
why not rely on XCP or choose another distribution that offers direct support 
for xen like e.g. debian (have a look at project "kronos" ) or ubuntu as well 
...


Best regards,
Andreas Balg

How stable are those kernels? I couldn't find much info about mayoung
on the internet, so I don't know how trustworthy he, or his work is.

I read that tutorial but it seems very specific to Red Hat and since I
work on CentOS some of the options there don't apply, but I don't know
if it could cause any problems.

Has anyone applied those steps to a CentOS system?

Did you try using mayoung's "xendom0" kernel rpms? They're based on actual rhel 
6.0/6.1 kernels..
(the kernel you're using now sounds like upstream kernel - not rhel6 kernel).

xen hypervisor/tools rpms: http://xenbits.xen.org/people/mayoung/EL6.xen/
xendom0 kernel for el6: http://xenbits.xen.org/people/mayoung/testing/

It is entirely possible the 'R' of abbacomm.net is an abbreviation for
'Robert' who has a different surname. Such confusion is possible in the
best of families, even those using computers :-)

I asked him not too. Lets have one big happy and united family.

Paul,

with all humility & due respect, if I was given authority within CentOS and

having someone reply to an OT post doesn't make it on-topic. It just 
makes thousands of users have to delete another email.
Similarly, having a helpful user give the answer that the OP would have 
found as google hit number 1, wastes everybody else's time.

So: use the proper venue instead of posting everything and anything 
here, and research before posting, are totally appropriate requests.

How was Russ's reply rude? He actually took the time to explain 
things... and remained civil doing it.

Better to let these OT posts fall on deaf ears then make list noise on them.

And since I have just made noise I am going to shut up about this and any other 
OT post I see.

That was hardly called for. If you find a post off topic or
uninteresting, just delete it. Either no one will reply or, if there is
interest in the question, others will and the question will be decided
to have value.

If we keep acting rude, we will tear apart this community. Please, for
our collective sake, be more polite.
