CentOS6.5安装Xen

大概是折腾了两天，终于把Xen给成功安装上了。刚开始是用CentOS7，安装好了却启动不了有Xen的内核，然后是改成CentOS6.5，却还是出现一样的场景，最后将UFEI启动改成BOIS启动终于是成功了。也应该是走了不少弯路吧，该遇到的问题都遇到过了，能不能安装成功我觉得运气成分也比较大。

本文使用的是CentOS官方推荐的Xen4CentOS6，也可以使用Xen made Easy官方提供的解决方案，其实网上的教程基本都大同小异。

CentOS6.5系统安装以后，首先是要关闭SELinux的功能(缺省为enforcing状态)：

[root@centos ~]# getenforce   
Enforcing  
[root@centos ~]# vi /etc/sysconfig/selinux   
  
# This file controls the state of SELinux on the system.  
# SELINUX= can take one of these three values:  
#     enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced.  
#     permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.  
#     disabled - No SELinux policy is loaded.  
SELINUX=disabled  
# SELINUXTYPE= can take one of these two values:  
#     targeted - Targeted processes are protected,  
#     mls - Multi Level Security protection.  
SELINUXTYPE=targeted  

更新系统，安装perl工具包(Xen工具需要使用Perl工具包，CentOS最小安装不支持Perl)：

[root@centos ~]# yum install perl  
[root@centos ~]# yum update  
[root@centos ~]# reboot

安装Xen对象的软件包

[root@centos ~]# yum install centos-release-xen  
[root@centos ~]# yum install xen  

安装完支持 Xen的Linux内核后需要加新条目到 grub.conf，以便系统能默认启动带 Xen的Linux 内核（而不是常规 Linux 内核），这个操作可以通过grub-bootxen.sh 自动完成，弄完后打开 grub.conf 文件再次确认一下即可：

[root@centos ~]# /usr/bin/grub-bootxen.sh  
[root@centos ~]# cat /boot/grub/grub.conf   
# grub.conf generated by anaconda  
#  
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file  
# NOTICE:  You have a /boot partition.  This means that  
#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.  
#          root (hd0,0)  
#          kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/mapper/vg_centos-LogVol01  
#          initrd /initrd-[generic-]version.img  
#boot=/dev/sda  
default=0  
timeout=5  
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz  
hiddenmenu  
title CentOS (3.10.32-11.el6.centos.alt.x86_64)  
        root (hd0,0)  
        kernel /xen.gz dom0_mem=1024M,max:1024M loglvl=all guest_loglvl=all  
        module /vmlinuz-3.10.32-11.el6.centos.alt.x86_64 ro root=/dev/mapper/vg_centos-LogVol01 rd_NO_LUKS rd_LVM_LV=vg_centos/LogVo  
l00 rd_LVM_LV=vg_centos/LogVol01 rd_NO_MD SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 crashkernel=auto  KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=us rd_NO_DM LANG=en_U  
S.UTF-8 rhgb quiet  
        module /initramfs-3.10.32-11.el6.centos.alt.x86_64.img  
.....  

重启系统后，默认应该进入 Xen 内核，可以通过 uname -r 和 xl info 确认是否安装成功：

[root@centos ~]# uname -r  
3.10.32-11.el6.centos.alt.x86_64  
[root@centos ~]# xl info

注意：重启后一定要用root权限运行xl命令，不然会出现以下错误：

xc: error: Could not obtain handle on privileged command interface (13 = Permission denied): Internal error
libxl: error: libxl.c:116:libxl_ctx_alloc: cannot open libxc handle: Permission denied
cannot init xl context
