Xen-3.4.2 in Fedora 12 + Jeremy's xen dom0 kernel 2.6.31.13 is quite stable

[Zhiqiang Ma]

Hi all,

I have set up Xen Dom0 on Fedora 12 with xen 3.4.2 in Fedora 12's
repository. The kernel I use is kernel 2.6.31.13 with pv_ops which is
from Jeremy's repository.

I know this is not the the newest ones (both xen and kernel). I just
want to report it is very stable at least on our clusters. We have
computing-intensive work running on it. Hope this information may help
the ones that need a "stable" xen virtualization solution on Fedora.

The DomUs are also Fedora 12 with kernel from Fedora's repository.

Details please refer to:
http://zhiqiangma.info/post/setting-up-xen-pvops-dom0-on-fedora-xen-3-4-2...

BTW: I really hope Fedora can add kernel-xen support again so that we
don't need to build kernel and test it to get a stable working
platform. But I understand we are waiting for the upstream. I will
wait :)

Thanks.
Eric

RH won't add Xen Dom0 to Fedora until it merge mainline Linux at least as far as to my
knowledge.

I wonder if it'd be possible to get community-maintained kernel-xendom0 rpm into
Fedora..
Then again having it in a separate repo (like we have now) isn't that much more
difficult.
