XEN Installation
Prerequisites:
- Linux OS (2.4 or 2.6 kernel)
- Iproute2(guest and host networking)
- Bridge-utils (for guest networking)
- Twisted (again for guest networking)
- Curl-devel
- Zlib-devel
- Python 2.2-devel(xend daemon and xm command)
Notes:
All network traffic to and from a guest OS is handled via a bridge on the host OS. This interface on the host OS connects to a virtual interface on the guest. Bridging gives the guest the ability to migrate between host OS machines.
There are ports of XEN for different architectures, and Os’es(various BSD’s and PPC, AMD64 etc.)
