1 | Recipe for getting/building/running Xen/ia64 with pv_ops | ||
2 | -------------------------------------------------------- | ||
3 | |||
4 | This recipe describes how to get xen-ia64 source and build it, | ||
5 | and run domU with pv_ops. | ||
6 | |||
7 | ============ | ||
8 | Requirements | ||
9 | ============ | ||
10 | |||
11 | - python | ||
12 | - mercurial | ||
13 | it (aka "hg") is an open-source source code | ||
14 | management software. See the below. | ||
15 | http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/ | ||
16 | - git | ||
17 | - bridge-utils | ||
18 | |||
19 | ================================= | ||
20 | Getting and Building Xen and Dom0 | ||
21 | ================================= | ||
22 | |||
23 | My environment is; | ||
24 | Machine : Tiger4 | ||
25 | Domain0 OS : RHEL5 | ||
26 | DomainU OS : RHEL5 | ||
27 | |||
28 | 1. Download source | ||
29 | # hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/ext/ia64/xen-unstable.hg | ||
30 | # cd xen-unstable.hg | ||
31 | # hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/ext/ia64/linux-2.6.18-xen.hg | ||
32 | |||
33 | 2. # make world | ||
34 | |||
35 | 3. # make install-tools | ||
36 | |||
37 | 4. copy kernels and xen | ||
38 | # cp xen/xen.gz /boot/efi/efi/redhat/ | ||
39 | # cp build-linux-2.6.18-xen_ia64/vmlinux.gz \ | ||
40 | /boot/efi/efi/redhat/vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-xen | ||
41 | |||
42 | 5. make initrd for Dom0/DomU | ||
43 | # make -C linux-2.6.18-xen.hg ARCH=ia64 modules_install \ | ||
44 | O=$(/bin/pwd)/build-linux-2.6.18-xen_ia64 | ||
45 | # mkinitrd -f /boot/efi/efi/redhat/initrd-2.6.18.8-xen.img \ | ||
46 | 2.6.18.8-xen --builtin mptspi --builtin mptbase \ | ||
47 | --builtin mptscsih --builtin uhci-hcd --builtin ohci-hcd \ | ||
48 | --builtin ehci-hcd | ||
49 | |||
50 | ================================ | ||
51 | Making a disk image for guest OS | ||
52 | ================================ | ||
53 | |||
54 | 1. make file | ||
55 | # dd if=/dev/zero of=/root/rhel5.img bs=1M seek=4096 count=0 | ||
56 | # mke2fs -F -j /root/rhel5.img | ||
57 | # mount -o loop /root/rhel5.img /mnt | ||
58 | # cp -ax /{dev,var,etc,usr,bin,sbin,lib} /mnt | ||
59 | # mkdir /mnt/{root,proc,sys,home,tmp} | ||
60 | |||
61 | Note: You may miss some device files. If so, please create them | ||
62 | with mknod. Or you can use tar instead of cp. | ||
63 | |||
64 | 2. modify DomU's fstab | ||
65 | # vi /mnt/etc/fstab | ||
66 | /dev/xvda1 / ext3 defaults 1 1 | ||
67 | none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 | ||
68 | none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 | ||
69 | none /proc proc defaults 0 0 | ||
70 | none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 | ||
71 | |||
72 | 3. modify inittab | ||
73 | set runlevel to 3 to avoid X trying to start | ||
74 | # vi /mnt/etc/inittab | ||
75 | id:3:initdefault: | ||
76 | Start a getty on the hvc0 console | ||
77 | X0:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty hvc0 | ||
78 | tty1-6 mingetty can be commented out | ||
79 | |||
80 | 4. add hvc0 into /etc/securetty | ||
81 | # vi /mnt/etc/securetty (add hvc0) | ||
82 | |||
83 | 5. umount | ||
84 | # umount /mnt | ||
85 | |||
86 | FYI, virt-manager can also make a disk image for guest OS. | ||
87 | It's GUI tools and easy to make it. | ||
88 | |||
89 | ================== | ||
90 | Boot Xen & Domain0 | ||
91 | ================== | ||
92 | |||
93 | 1. replace elilo | ||
94 | elilo of RHEL5 can boot Xen and Dom0. | ||
95 | If you use old elilo (e.g RHEL4), please download from the below | ||
96 | http://elilo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/blosxom | ||
97 | and copy into /boot/efi/efi/redhat/ | ||
98 | # cp elilo-3.6-ia64.efi /boot/efi/efi/redhat/elilo.efi | ||
99 | |||
100 | 2. modify elilo.conf (like the below) | ||
101 | # vi /boot/efi/efi/redhat/elilo.conf | ||
102 | prompt | ||
103 | timeout=20 | ||
104 | default=xen | ||
105 | relocatable | ||
106 | |||
107 | image=vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-xen | ||
108 | label=xen | ||
109 | vmm=xen.gz | ||
110 | initrd=initrd-2.6.18.8-xen.img | ||
111 | read-only | ||
112 | append=" -- rhgb root=/dev/sda2" | ||
113 | |||
114 | The append options before "--" are for xen hypervisor, | ||
115 | the options after "--" are for dom0. | ||
116 | |||
117 | FYI, your machine may need console options like | ||
118 | "com1=19200,8n1 console=vga,com1". For example, | ||
119 | append="com1=19200,8n1 console=vga,com1 -- rhgb console=tty0 \ | ||
120 | console=ttyS0 root=/dev/sda2" | ||
121 | |||
122 | ===================================== | ||
123 | Getting and Building domU with pv_ops | ||
124 | ===================================== | ||
125 | |||
126 | 1. get pv_ops tree | ||
127 | # git clone http://people.valinux.co.jp/~yamahata/xen-ia64/linux-2.6-xen-ia64.git/ | ||
128 | |||
129 | 2. git branch (if necessary) | ||
130 | # cd linux-2.6-xen-ia64/ | ||
131 | # git checkout -b your_branch origin/xen-ia64-domu-minimal-2008may19 | ||
132 | (Note: The current branch is xen-ia64-domu-minimal-2008may19. | ||
133 | But you would find the new branch. You can see with | ||
134 | "git branch -r" to get the branch lists. | ||
135 | http://people.valinux.co.jp/~yamahata/xen-ia64/for_eagl/linux-2.6-ia64-pv-ops.git/ | ||
136 | is also available. The tree is based on | ||
137 | git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/aegl/linux-2.6 test) | ||
138 | |||
139 | |||
140 | 3. copy .config for pv_ops of domU | ||
141 | # cp arch/ia64/configs/xen_domu_wip_defconfig .config | ||
142 | |||
143 | 4. make kernel with pv_ops | ||
144 | # make oldconfig | ||
145 | # make | ||
146 | |||
147 | 5. install the kernel and initrd | ||
148 | # cp vmlinux.gz /boot/efi/efi/redhat/vmlinuz-2.6-pv_ops-xenU | ||
149 | # make modules_install | ||
150 | # mkinitrd -f /boot/efi/efi/redhat/initrd-2.6-pv_ops-xenU.img \ | ||
151 | 2.6.26-rc3xen-ia64-08941-g1b12161 --builtin mptspi \ | ||
152 | --builtin mptbase --builtin mptscsih --builtin uhci-hcd \ | ||
153 | --builtin ohci-hcd --builtin ehci-hcd | ||
154 | |||
155 | ======================== | ||
156 | Boot DomainU with pv_ops | ||
157 | ======================== | ||
158 | |||
159 | 1. make config of DomU | ||
160 | # vi /etc/xen/rhel5 | ||
161 | kernel = "/boot/efi/efi/redhat/vmlinuz-2.6-pv_ops-xenU" | ||
162 | ramdisk = "/boot/efi/efi/redhat/initrd-2.6-pv_ops-xenU.img" | ||
163 | vcpus = 1 | ||
164 | memory = 512 | ||
165 | name = "rhel5" | ||
166 | disk = [ 'file:/root/rhel5.img,xvda1,w' ] | ||
167 | root = "/dev/xvda1 ro" | ||
168 | extra= "rhgb console=hvc0" | ||
169 | |||
170 | 2. After boot xen and dom0, start xend | ||
171 | # /etc/init.d/xend start | ||
172 | ( In the debugging case, # XEND_DEBUG=1 xend trace_start ) | ||
173 | |||
174 | 3. start domU | ||
175 | # xm create -c rhel5 | ||
176 | |||
