[HOWTO] Running Xen 4.0 host (dom0) with Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 (RHEL6)

[HOWTO] Running Xen 4.0 host (dom0) with Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 (RHEL6)

[Pasi Kärkkäinen]

Hello,

If you're interested in running Xen 4.0 hypervisor/dom0 on RHEL6,
take a look at here: http://wiki.xen.org/xenwiki/RHEL6Xen4Tutorial

It explains steps needed to rebuild Xen 4.0.1 src.rpm from Fedora on RHEL6,
and how to fetch dom0 capable 2.6.32.x kernel from upstream git repository.

It also shows how to get libvirt/virt-manager working with Xen on RHEL6.

Hopefully it helps :)

I was in the middle of trying to resolve the dependencies yesterday and 
today. I'll give this a run through and provide feedback when done. 
Thanks kindly!

Thanx for sharing this, how's the performance, since it's a rebuild from FC?

Fedora 14 xen-4.0.1-6 is pretty much the upstream xen.org 4.0.1 version, 
just with a couple more bugfixes from xen-4.0-testing.hg (from xen-4.0.2-rc*),
so it should do well.

Note the kernel reference .config has debugging stuff enabled,
so that will slow down dom0.

And well.. RHEL6 is basicly combination of Fedora 12 and Fedora 13 :)

Interesting. I did look during the betas where I could build xen on RHEL6, 
but there weren't enough dependent packages available at the time. I have 
done a quick check now, and it looks like dev86 and iasl are missing on 
i686 (which is what I was testing it on during the betas) so you probably 
can't build your package in that case. x86_64 looks like it might work 
though.
I was looking at this from the point of view of whether it would be 
feasible to get xen into EPEL, but as it didn't seem to work I didn't seem 
to work, I didn't put too much thought into it.

Ok. I haven't tried on 32bit (yet).
I did try using beta2, on x86_64, and that worked aswell.

The important part is to enable the 'Optional' channel in RHN,
otherwise half of the required packages are not available..

Hi Pasi,

   I ran into a problem at the libvirt stage. After applying your patch 
and while building the spec I got the error below. Might you have some 
advice?

   I did get Xen 4.0.1 installed and dom0 running, so I am already 
further than I was before you released your tutorial. I had been stuck 
on the qemu-nbd step. :)

It seems you didn't read well enough ;)

"Before rebuilding libvirt you need to boot into non-Xen environment! This is because some of the automated RHEL6 libvirt Xen-specific tests seem to fail in Xen dom0 environment, but work OK in baremetal."

See, this is why I shouldn't be working until after midnight so many

Heh, I'm hesitant to ask now, in case it's another instance of me 
failing to read, but... :)

When I first start virt-manager, I get an error/warning saying that 
'qemu-kvm' should be installed. I realize this isn't important, as we're 
running Xen, but I wanted to try to resolve it just the same. So I tried 
to install qemu-kvm from the rebuilt qemu RPMs made earlier in the 
tutorial. This led to a requirement I've not been able to meet:

rpm -ivh rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/qemu-system-x86-0.12.5-1.el6.x86_64.rpm \
          rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/qemu-kvm-0.12.5-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
	seabios-bin is needed by qemu-system-x86-2:0.12.5-1.el6.x86_64
yum provides \*/seabios-bin
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit, rhnplugin
No Matches found

I tried rebuilding 'seabios', but it didn't provide seabios-bin either.

Thanks, and sorry in advance if I am missing something obvious (again). :)

I haven't seen this error on my system.

I don't think you should install those rpms, since RHEL6 already
has kvm included.

You need to only install the additional "qemu-common" rpm, 
since that provides the stuff that Xen rpm depends on.

Indeed. More than anything, I am concerned that customers might see the 
error and worry. I know it doesn't effect Xen at all. :)

Well, I'll move on then. I now need to get DRBD compiled against this 
kernel. Thank you again.

With regard to this;

I've been hoping to create a set of updated KVM vs. Xen benchmarks as 
I've seen this asked for of late and existing data is >3 years old.

I would like to get the kernel setup relatively similarly to how it will 
be setup if/when an RPM is provided for RHEL 6.

These are the DEBUG entries I found in .config from your tutorial. Which 
are reasonable to set to n/m or just comment out? Did I miss anything 
else I should change? Again, I'm not looking to optimize, just to get 
closer to what the final generally available kernel will have.

Yeah, you should definitely disable the various DEBUG options
for performance benchmarking.

How/what are you thinking of benchmarking?

My current plan is;
- Repeat all tests 3 times and average the results.
- All tests run inside of a VM, one set with only one VM, again 
simultaneously on two VMs and then a final set with three VMs 
simultaneously.
- Actual tests:
   - bonnie++
   - kernel compile timing
   - network transfer of a large file from a common source
   - migration timing on VM (live and frozen)

I'd love to hear suggestions for other tests as well. I'll be posting my 
results here:

http://wiki.alteeve.com/index.php/Xen_vs._KVM_Benchmark_-_Nov._2010

It's pretty empty though just now though.

It would be nice if you benchmarked both Xen PV and HVM VMs:

- Xen PV 32bit VM
- Xen PV 64bit VM

- Xen HVM 32bit VM
- Xen HVM 64bit VM

- Xen HVM 32bit VM (with PV-on-HVM drivers)
- Xen HVM 64bit VM (with PV-on-HVM drivers)

If you're subscribed into Optional channel (and maybe some other channel 
too) in RHN you should be able to download and install them using yum, i.e.

# yum install texi2html dev86 pciutils-devel iasl

command. After that you should be able to recompile. In RHEL-6 
environment you can always try either to google for the package or, 
better, use `yum install` command to install the dependencies required.

It seems to be impossible reconnect to RHN to subscribe to optional
channel. During registration (30 days evaluation account) i was not given any 
option.

If you're subscribed into Optional channel (and maybe some other channel 
too) in RHN you should be able to download and install them using yum, i.e.

# yum install texi2html dev86 pciutils-devel iasl

command. After that you should be able to recompile. In RHEL-6 
environment you can always try either to google for the package or, 
better, use `yum install` command to install the dependencies required.

I believe path to libvirt :-

ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/6Server/en/os/SRPMS/libvirt-0.8.1-27.el6.src.rpm

It doesn't match "Howto"

ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/6Server/en/os/SRPMS/libvirt-0.8.1-27.el6.src.rpm

Just checked, it's there. Red Hat did change the URL yesterday though.

RHN channel subscriptions are changed from the RHN website,
not from the RHEL6 server..

So maybe that's the problem..

Thanks, Pasi.
I found out it about 7 hr ago and sent message to list.
"rhn_register" works just once and installs basic channel ( via server's session)
Afterwards one should login to rhn.redhat.com and change subscription
to "Optional"  inside account .

All your hackery works fine. 
   I've also tried to rebuild Michael's xendom0  .32.25-172.src.rpm . It generates problem with kernel-firmware.rpm. I would not expect him to fix it , until CentOS 6.0 will be out.

Boris.
P.S. asciidoc dependency may be dropped during .32.25-172.src.rpm rebuild.

Could it be considered as update for "HOWTO" ?

I ran through this tonight, and I did get it working and installed, so 
thank you. :)

If I can make a couple suggestions?

1. Provide a downloadable patch file and and example showing how to use 
patch for those who might be less familiar with it.

2. After compile and install, disable the epel repo as it triggers these 
errors:

  You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem

I had to change /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo to 'enabled=0' and then run 
'yum clean all && yum update' to get yum running again.

These are small issues though, and I'd vote for a reference in Pasi's 
tutorial as an option against compiling from source (though I'd leave 
that option in place).

I would like to use this to add myoung's kernel as an option in pxdi, if 
that is ok with you.

I ran through this tonight, and I did get it working and installed, so thank you. :)

If I can make a couple suggestions?

1. Provide a downloadable patch file and and example showing how to use patch for those who might be less familiar with it.

2. After compile and install, disable the epel repo as it triggers these errors:

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
------------------------------------------------------------------------

I had to change /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo to 'enabled=0' and then run 'yum clean all && yum update' to get yum running again.

These are small issues though, and I'd vote for a reference in Pasi's tutorial as an option against compiling from source (though I'd leave that option in place).

I would like to use this to add myoung's kernel as an option in pxdi, if that is ok with you.
