The vif line causes an interface to be provided, with a specific mac address do not reuse MAC addresses! Two disks are provided, and they are both writable; the bits are stored in files and Xen attaches them to a vnd 4 device in the dom0 on domain creation.
The system treats xbd0 as the boot device without needing explicit configuration. There is not a type line; that implicitly defines a pv domU. Otherwise, one sets type to the lower-case version of the domU type in the table above; see later sections. Note that "xl create" takes the name of a config file, while other commands take the name of a domain. Shutting down a domain is equivalent to pushing the power button; a NetBSD domU will receive a power-press event and do a clean shutdown.
Shutting down the dom0 will trigger controlled shutdowns of all configured domUs. A domain is provided with some number of vcpus; any domain can have up to the number of CPUs seen by the hypervisor. It is normal to overcommit vcpus; a 4-core machine machine might well provide 4 vcpus to each domU. One might also configure fewer vcpus for a domU. In the straightforward case, the sum of the the memory allocated to the dom0 and all domUs must be less than the available memory.
Xen provides a balloon driver, which can be used to let domains use more memory temporarily. Common methods are "file:" for a file-backed vnd, and "phy:" for something that is already a device, such as an LVM logical volume. The second element is an artifact of how virtual disks are passed to Linux, and a source of confusion with NetBSD Xen usage. Linux domUs are given a device name to associate with the disk, and values like "hda1" or "sda1" are common. However, xl demands a second argument.
With NetBSD as both dom0 and domU, using values of 0x0 for the first disk and 0x1 for the second works fine and avoids this issue. Note that NetBSD by default creates only vnd[]. If you need more than 4 total virtual disks at a time, run e. Xen provides virtual Ethernets, each of which connects the dom0 and a domU. For each virtual network, there is an interface "xvifN. The interfaces behave as if there is an Ethernet with two adapters connected. From this primitive, one can construct various configurations.
We focus on two common and useful cases for which there are existing scripts: bridging and NAT. With bridging in the example above , the domU perceives itself to be on the same network as the dom0. For server virtualization, this is usually best. Bridging is accomplished by creating a bridge 4 device and adding the dom0's physical interface and the various xvifN.
This is often appropriate when running Xen on a workstation. The MAC address specified is the one used for the interface in the new domain. The interface in dom0 will use this address XOR'd with Random MAC addresses are assigned if not given.
To start domains domU-netbsd and domU-linux at boot and shut them down cleanly on dom0 shutdown, add the following in rc. Creating domUs is almost entirely independent of operating system. We have already presented the basics of config files in the previous system. See the earlier config file, and adjust memory. Decide on how much storage you will provide, and prepare it file or LVM.
This is helpful but not necessary. The kernel must be specifically built for Xen, to use PV interfacesas a domU. NetBSD release builds provide the following kernels:. This will boot NetBSD, but this is not that useful if the disk is empty. One approach is to unpack sets onto the disk outside of Xen by mounting it, just as you would prepare a physical disk for a system you can't run the installer on.
TODO: check if this is still accurate. When the new domain is booting you'll see some warnings about wscons and the pseudo-terminals. This content cannot be displayed without JavaScript.

In the example here, the volume group is vg0 and volumes are lvol32 and lvol The kernel and the ramdisk options determine what DomU is booting from.
For example, you can set installation mode to be text only 'text' option , or define KickStart file location commented in the example. If successful, you will be redirected to DomU's main console where the installation process has just started:. Choose the 'Use text mode' for the installation method when prompted. The partition table you create should look like this: There should be only one primary partition on each disk.
The second partition is the server's SWAP space. This partitioning makes template creation easier. This stage does nothing for OnApp Cloud, because it totally recreates all network-related configuration files while server is deployed. However, you should still configure networking properly at this stage, in case you need Internet access for the servers for some additional, post-installation task.
