Installing Xen On CentOS 5.0 (i386)

Version 1.0
Author: Falko Timme
Last edited 06/08/2007

This tutorial provides step-by-step instructions on how to install Xen (version 3.0.3) on a CentOS 5.0 system (i386).

Xen lets you create guest operating systems (*nix operating systems like Linux and FreeBSD), so called “virtual machines” or domUs, under a host operating system (dom0). Using Xen you can separate your applications into different virtual machines that are totally independent from each other (e.g. a virtual machine for a mail server, a virtual machine for a high-traffic web site, another virtual machine that serves your customers’ web sites, a virtual machine for DNS, etc.), but still use the same hardware. This saves money, and what is even more important, it’s more secure. If the virtual machine of your DNS server gets hacked, it has no effect on your other virtual machines. Plus, you can move virtual machines from one Xen server to the next one.

I will use CentOS 5.0 (i386) for both the host OS (dom0) and the guest OS (domU).

This howto is meant as a practical guide; it does not cover the theoretical backgrounds. They are treated in a lot of other documents in the web.

This document comes without warranty of any kind! I want to say that this is not the only way of setting up such a system. There are many ways of achieving this goal but this is the way I take. I do not issue any guarantee that this will work for you!

1 Preliminary Note

I use the following partitions on my CentOS 5.0 host system (dom0):

• /boot 150 MB (ext3)
• swap 1GB
• / 3GB (ext3)
• /vm the rest (ext3)

I will create the virtual machines in the /vm directory; of course, you can use any other directory that has enough space left, and you don’t have to create a partition of its own for it. If you use another directory, replace /vm with your own directory in this tutorial.

If you want to save your virtual machines in /vm, too, but haven’t created a partition for it of if the directory /vm doesn’t exist on your system, you can create it like this:

mkdir /vm

(Please note: You don’t need a /boot partition, but then you have to keep in mind that the Grub stanzas I describe in this howto are slightly different. For example, when I write that I add

[...]
title CentOS (2.6.18-8.1.4.el5xen)
 root (hd0,0)
 kernel /xen.gz-2.6.18-8.1.4.el5
 module /vmlinuz-2.6.18-8.1.4.el5xen ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
 module /initrd-2.6.18-8.1.4.el5xen.img
[...]

to /boot/grub/menu.lst then you should probably use

[...]
title CentOS (2.6.18-8.1.4.el5xen)
 root (hd0,0)
 kernel /boot/xen.gz-2.6.18-8.1.4.el5
 module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-8.1.4.el5xen ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
 module /boot/initrd-2.6.18-8.1.4.el5xen.img
[...]

in that file instead…)

2 Installing Xen

To install Xen, we simply run

yum install kernel-xen xen

This installs Xen and a Xen kernel on our CentOS system. Afterwards, we can find our new Xen kernel (vmlinuz-2.6.18-8.1.4.el5xen) and its ramdisk (initrd-2.6.18-8.1.4.el5xen.img) in the /boot directory:

ls -l /boot/

[root@server1 ~]# ls -l /boot/

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  608568 May 17 12:28 xen-syms-2.6.18-8.1.4.el5
[root@server1 ~]#

Before we can boot the system with the Xen kernel, we must tell the bootloader GRUB about it. We open /boot/grub/menu.lst:

vi /boot/grub/menu.lst

and add the following stanza above all other kernel stanzas:

[...]
title CentOS (2.6.18-8.1.4.el5xen)
 root (hd0,0)
 kernel /xen.gz-2.6.18-8.1.4.el5
 module /vmlinuz-2.6.18-8.1.4.el5xen ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
 module /initrd-2.6.18-8.1.4.el5xen.img
[...]

Then change the value of default to 0:

[...]
default=0
[...]

The complete /boot/grub/menu.lst should look something like this:

# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE:  You have a /boot partition.  This means that
#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
#          root (hd0,0)
#          kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
#          initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/sda
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title CentOS (2.6.18-8.1.4.el5xen)
 root (hd0,0)
 kernel /xen.gz-2.6.18-8.1.4.el5
 module /vmlinuz-2.6.18-8.1.4.el5xen ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
 module /initrd-2.6.18-8.1.4.el5xen.img
title CentOS (2.6.18-8.1.1.el5)
 root (hd0,0)
 kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-8.1.1.el5 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
 initrd /initrd-2.6.18-8.1.1.el5.img
title CentOS (2.6.18-8.el5)
 root (hd0,0)
 kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-8.el5 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
 initrd /initrd-2.6.18-8.el5.img

Afterwards, we reboot the system:

shutdown -r now

The system should now automatically boot the new Xen kernel. After the system has booted, we can check that by running

uname -r

[root@server1 ~]# uname -r
2.6.18-8.1.4.el5xen
[root@server1 ~]#

So it’s really using the new Xen kernel!

We can now run

xm list

to check if Xen has started. It should list Domain-0 (dom0):

[root@server1 ~]# xm list
Name                                      ID Mem(MiB) VCPUs State   Time(s)
Domain-0                                   0      350     1 r-----     94.4
[root@server1 ~]#

3 Creating A Virtual Machine

CentOS comes with a nice tool called virt-install with which we can create virtual machines for Xen. To start it, we simply run

virt-install

The tools asks a few questions before it creates a virtual machine. I want to call my first virtual machine vm01, with 256MB RAM and a disk size of 4GB. I want to store it in the file /vm/vm01.img:

<span>What is the name of your virtual machine?</span> <span><-- vm01</span>
<span>How much RAM should be allocated (in megabytes)?</span> <span><-- 256 </span>
<span>What would you like to use as the disk (path)?</span> <span><-- /vm/vm01.img</span>
<span>How large would you like the disk (/vm/vm01.img) to be (in gigabytes)?</span> <span><-- 4</span>
<span>Would you like to enable graphics support? (yes or no)</span> <span><-- no</span>
<span>What is the install location?</span> <span><-- http://wftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/centos/5.0/os/i386</span>

The question about the graphics support refers to the installer, not the virtual machine itself! It is possible to start a graphical installer, but you’d have to connect to it via VNC. It’s easier to use the text installer – it offers the same options, so I choose the text installer.

As install location, you should specify a mirror close to you where the installer can download all files needed for the installation of CentOS 5.0 in our virtual machine. You can find a list of CentOS mirrors here: http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=13

After we have answered all questions, virt-install starts the normal CentOS 5.0 installer (in text mode) in our vm01 virtual machine. You already know the CentOS installer, so it should be no problem for you to finish the CentOS installation in vm01.

After the installation, we stay at the vm01 console. To leave it, type CTRL+] if you are at the console, or CTRL+5 if you’re using PuTTY. You will then be back at the dom0 console.

virt-install has created the vm01 configuration file /etc/xen/vm01 for us (in dom0). It should look like this:

cat /etc/xen/vm01

# Automatically generated xen config file
name = "vm01"
memory = "256"
disk = [ 'tap:aio:/vm/vm01.img,xvda,w', ]
vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3e:13:e4:81, bridge=xenbr0', ]

uuid = "5aafecf1-dd66-401d-69cc-151c1cb8ac9e"
bootloader="/usr/bin/pygrub"
vcpus=1
on_reboot   = 'restart'
on_crash    = 'restart'

Run

xm console vm01

to log in on that virtual machine again (type CTRL+] if you are at the console, or CTRL+5 if you’re using PuTTY to go back to dom0), or use an SSH client to connect to it.

To get a list of running virtual machines, type

xm list

The output should look like this:

[root@server1 xen]# xm list
Name                                      ID Mem(MiB) VCPUs State   Time(s)
Domain-0                                   0      259     1 r-----   1906.6
vm01                                       3      255     1 ------    137.9
[root@server1 xen]#

To shut down vm01, do this:

xm shutdown vm01

To start vm01 again, run

xm create /etc/xen/vm01

If you want vm01 to start automatically at the next boot of the system, then do this:

ln -s /etc/xen/vm01 /etc/xen/auto

Here are the most important Xen commands:

<span>xm create -c /path/to/config</span> - Start a virtual machine.
<span>xm shutdown </span> - Stop a virtual machine.
<span>xm destroy </span> - Stop a virtual machine immediately without shutting it down. It's as if you switch off the power button.
<span>xm list</span> - List all running systems.
<span>xm console </span> - Log in on a virtual machine.
<span>xm help</span> - List of all commands.

How to Install Postgres 8 on RHEL/Centos in 3 minutes

I want to share quick and specific instructions for the installation of the Postgres 8 database on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 / Centos 5. I am using Yum for this installation. To make sure that you have everything needed do:

yum list | grep postresql

and verify that you see:

postgresql.i386, postgresql-server.i386 and postgres-libs.i386 (i386 if on non-64 bit version)

Centos installation comes with postgresql-lib installed. If it does not, do:

yum install postgresql-libs

Now, the general installation. As root install postgres core:

yum install postgresql

Install postgres server:

yum install postgresql-server

Now create postgres user:

adduser postgres

Create the datafile for the database:

mkdir -p /usr/local/pgsql/data

Change ownership of the data files to the postgres user:

chown postgres /usr/local/pgsql/data

Now assume the role of a postgres user:

su - postgres

Important note: Installation of the postgres executables on Centos 5 / RHEL 5 is /usr/bin not /usr/local as Postgres official documentation suggests.

Initialize the datafiles for the database:

/usr/bin/initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data

Start the database with initialized datafiles as the background process (&) and log all messages and errors (2&1) in the logfile:

/usr/bin/postgres -D /usr/local/pgsql/data > logfile 2>&1 &

Create the test database:

/usr/bin/createdb test

Log in to the test database:

/usr/bin/psql test

You should see “Welcome to Postgres 8…” intro message and prompt:

test=#
