The section contains the instruction to install Xen hypervisor on platform x86_64 with one of the following operating system:
- Ubuntu 16.04 (with grub-pc)
- Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS (with grub-efi)
Build Dependencies
Install the following packages:
# apt update && apt dist-upgrade #update/upgrade the kernel # apt install build-essential # apt install bcc bin86 gawk bridge-utils iproute # apt install libcurl3 libcurl4-openssl-dev bzip2 module-init-tools transfig tgif # apt install texinfo texlive-latex-base texlive-latex-recommended texlive-fonts-extra texlive-fonts-recommended # apt install pciutils-dev mercurial # apt install make gcc libc6-dev zlib1g-dev python python-dev python-twisted # apt install libncurses5-dev patch libsdl-dev libjpeg-dev # apt install libvncserver-dev # apt install iasl libbz2-dev e2fslibs-dev git-core uuid-dev # apt install ocaml ocaml-findlib libx11-dev bison flex xz-utils libyajl-dev # apt install gettext libpixman-1-dev libaio-dev markdown pandoc # apt install libc6-dev-i386 # apt install lzma lzma-dev liblzma-dev #for rombios # apt install libsystemd-dev
Xen Installation
Clone the Xen repository and switch to the chosen version (i.e., RELEASE4.11):
$ git clone https://github.com/xen-project/xen.git $ git checkout RELEASE-4.11.0 -b RELEASE-4.11.0
In the following part of the tutorial, we refer to the Xen repository path as $XENPATH.
Configure
Configure (for Ubuntu 16.04):
$ $XENPATH/configure --enable-systemd --libdir=/usr/local/lib64
Configure (for Ubuntu 18.04.01):
$ $XENPATH/configure --enable-systemd --libdir=/usr/local/lib64
Build and install
Build all components (hypervisor, tools, docs, stubdomains, etc):
$ cd $XENPATH $ make dist
Install (as root):
# make install
Enable the Xen services Reload dynamic libraries:
# /sbin/ldconfig
Enable systemd Xen services:
# systemctl enable xen-qemu-dom0-disk-backend.service # systemctl enable xen-init-dom0.service # systemctl enable xenconsoled.service # systemctl enable xenstored.service # systemctl enable xendomains.service
Note that in case of error for enabling xendomains service, remove /etc/init.d/xendomains.
Grub setup</b Update grub and reboot:
# udate-grub # reboot
Xen Installation on Ubuntu 18.04
Clone the Xen repository and switch to the chosen version (i.e., RELEASE4.11):
$ git clone https://github.com/xen-project/xen.git $ git checkout RELEASE-4.11.0 -b RELEASE-4.11.0
<b>Configure and build
Configure and build:
$ cd xen $ ./configure -enable-systemd $ make dist
Install
The following operations has to be performed with root privilege.
Install:
# make install
Reload dynamic libraries:
# /sbin/ldconfig
Enable systemd Xen services:
# systemctl enable xen-qemu-dom0-disk-backend.service # systemctl enable xen-init-dom0.service # systemctl enable xenconsoled.service # systemctl enable xenstored.service # systemctl enable xendomains.service
Note that in case of error for enabling xendomains service, remove /etc/init.d/xendomains.
for Ubuntu 16.04 Update grub and reboot:
# udate-grub # reboot
