Re: [convirt-users] Running Convirture in Virtual CentOS Linux installed under Parallels

Hi Sanjay
    You need to get the Xen client libraries installed. Unfortunately the xen 
client does not seem to be factored nicely on CentOS and pulls the whole 
kernel. 
    But you do not need to boot it in to Xen kernel to use ConVirt. So, let it 
install the required packages, but so long as you do not boot in to Xen kernel, 
you should be fine under your Parrallel environment.

Hope this clarifies it.

XEN newbie. Looking for a GUI Tool to manage my office XEN install
(proposed) from any GUI tool to be installed in CentOS v. 5.x running
under Parallels v. 4, on my Macbook. I evaluated Convirture  though
it suitable as it is able to manage remote servers. However when I
tried to install it using yum, I found that it tries to install Xen
kernel on the machine running it. In my case this is a Virtual Linux
Server running under Parallels. So I thought it is like running a
hypervisor inside hypervisor and would not work as each would want
direct hardware access.

Am I correct? Or can I run convirture without Xen kernel, as I need to
manage Xen only on remote machines, not on the local machine running
Convirture? If so, is such a rpm version available?

And if I cant run convirture within virtualized Linux, can someone
please suggest any alternative?

With best regards.
Sanjay.

Thanks a bunch, JD

I've got my mgmt tool now ;-) on to experimentation on my first XEN
Server with a mgmt tool  no command lines ;-)
