Amos, The quickest way to deploy a Xen VM requires a little more prep work... Use the regular (long) method as discussed. Most use an HVM to do the install but config it as a domU afterward as most installers only work reliably in a fully virtualized environment. Create an LVM based guest for each distribution/OS you plan to use. Then for each Xen guest you want to create take an LVM snapshot of the distribution/OS of choice and use that for the guest. This way guest deployment is very quick and disk space is conserved wisely. You can start with 1 or 2 GB snapshot and as space gets tight in the snapshot add more storage. -Ross -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces at centos.org <centos-bounces at centos.org> To: CentOS mailing list <centos at centos.org> Sent: Tue Dec 11 01:50:01 2007 Subject: Re: [CentOS] building a Xen guest image on straight LVM partitions?
