Fedora :: Fedora 12 And Bare Metal Virtualization
Dec 26, 2009
One of my desires is to set up my main workstation as a bare metal hypervisor because:
- Legacy issues mean I can't migrate to Linux in one step.
- The flexibility offered by virtualization is appealing.
Are there any resources out there that explain how to set up and manage fedora as a hypervisor and guests within that environment? I expect that I'll need to install a number of packages and to rebuild the kernel but I'm not aware of enough details to get started.

I would like to try putting some kind of free "bare metal" visualization for desktop useage on my laptop. I've been googling about the possibilities, but still I'm not sure which would actually work in my case. I've seen VMWare ESXi which looks ok, but unfortunatelly it is meant for servers and I can't have ESXI and Sphere client on same laptop. Another candidate I found is KVM, but as much I've seen it requires VTx VTd support from hardware, which my laptop can't provide. The same requirements must be met for Citrix Xen Client, which is meant for desktop virtualizations, but because of lack of VTx and VTd, can't be used in my case. Is there any other possibility? Currently I'm using VirtualBox and VMWare player for virtualization purposes, but I would like to pull out more performance out of it, and a heavy OS on top of another heavy OS just isn't the best way.

I have two identical servers, one has RHEL 5 and Zimbra installed and the other is currently not really doing anything. Both have hardware RAID (Adaptec) set to RAID10, identical hard drives, etc. The RHEL/Zimbra machine is set up with LVM2. Is it possible for me to hook them up on the secondary NICs and boot the second machine with Knoppix or something else, and easily tell it to duplicate the first machine onto the second, down to the last bit, or do I need to make all the partitions beforehand and dd each one separately?

I have a server with an old version of Fedora on it, Fedora 7, I know its old and that I should have upgraded it. But I haven't I plan on doing it now but I ran into a hardware failure and had to switch to a different set of hardware. I tried going into rescue mode using the fedora 7 install disc, but st0 for tape drives was not available. So I tried using the newest fedora distro, Fedora 13, installation disc and st0 is still not available on there. How to do a restore from tape?

Can I install VMware ESXi on my Dell Inspiron laptop having core i3 processor which has got 4GB of RAM? I can allocate 100GB of hard disk space for that. This is just to practice and explore the features available. Can I install Vmware ESXi iso on KVM hypervisor like installing guest OS?

So far I have tried PING, rsync, Clonezilla and tar. All have one or another problem. I'm sure that this is in part to my own ignorance and partly due to running the 64 bit version of Karmic, but I cannot seem to find anyone who has real answers.

I'm looking for a way to do a bare metal backup of our server using a tool such as ghost or clonezilla. The limitation is that / is on an mdadm raid 5. The only relevant info I could find on clonezilla's site was:
# Software RAID/fake RAID is not supported by default. It's can be done manually only.

I have worked on Xen which is being shipped with RHEL 5.4, Is it possible to install Xen hypervisor directly on bare metal, so that we can save resources. I searched in Xen Official site, but could not recognize the product that can be directly installed on bare metal like VMware ESX.

I'm running a x86-based Debian Squeeze LAMP server which is also my gateway between my home network and the big wide world (Shorewall/Shorewall6) As you can guess, when (as it did just recently) the hardware dies and needs to be replaced, the rebuild of a machine which has been tuned and tweaked over years is "interesting", to say the least. I am looking for some software which will allow me to do a bare-metal restore of the software and setups (data is accommodated already, so that part can be ignored) I'd like to use something to create a boot disc (CD/DVD) that I can put in a new machine and get my original setup installed on the new tin automatically.
I looked at Mondo, it looks ideal, but Google hints at problems with GRUB, and incompatibilities with Debian Squeeze....so the questions are:
1) Has anyone run Mondo on Debian Squeeze successfully?
2) Is there a good howto for Mondo on Debian?
3) Is there an alternative that runs on Debian and that fits my requirements?

I have windows vista 32bit oem that originally came with DELL system when I bought new. On the PC, MS$ sticker has the product key for windows vista.When I reformatted the disk and re-install windows vista natively on the machine for which it was licensed, it got automatically activated and passed MS$ genuine check. But I got into problems when using windows vista as guest os from fedora 13 host os using virtualbox on exactly same machine for which vista is licensed for. I go that MS$ : x -days to automatic activation, activate now link. Clicking on activate now it says invalid product key even I entered correct product key as it is on the PC.
I tried to create new windwos vista guest os 2 ways:
1) using existing native installation of windows vista by using vmware converter to create vmware disk image of the running windows vista and shutting down and log back into fedora 13 used this disk image as the storage in virtualbox and create windows vista guest. It starts up ok except for that activation issue.
2) using the windows vista dvd and using that as the source for new windows vista installation in virtualbox. All fine except got that activation issue.After killing my 2 days just for this I dont know whats next. Does that not make sense that I have a license for using windows vista on this specific pc, I am entitled to install it on that same pc as virtual or native or even both ways ?
This link: http://www.zdnet.com/blog/bott/vista-vi icture/360 says starting with service pack 1 MS$ now allows virtual installation of windows oem. My native installation was updated to service pack 2 and I also updated the fresh dvd install of windows vista in virtualbox to service pack 1 and then service pack 2 but still no effect in regard to license activation.Did any one solved the problem in some way regarding this issue for windows vista, I would like to know.

I am running FC14 as my host OS and am trying to install a virtual environment for academic reasons. I have tried using several different varieties including VMware and VirtualBox, but none of them seem to have any modules for the FC14 kernel. Has anyone had any luck with virtualization with FC14 as the host, that may be able to point me in a viable direction?

I have been spending many days trying to figure out if is possible to implement para-virtualization with Xen on my Fedora Cora 14 with the following kernel and architecture 2.6.35.6-48.fc14.x86_64.I have read many documents that made me crazy at all, and finally they don't have many sense for me, probably because my english is very poor and many times I am not able to understand the meaning of those.It's so frustrating for me.Summarizing, what I want to do or to know is if is possible to run Xen dom0 kernel on my machine and then running some guest or domU over it.I've already known that there are not xen-dom0 kernel packages like in older Fedora versions (for instance Fedora 9) what makes things easier. I want to know if I would have to built my own kernel from kernel source repositories and how?, because tried it before and It didn't work probably cause there was something wrong in my building.I'm very willing to provide you as many information as you want or need to solve this unbeatable situation.

I messed up my kvm virtualization, I think. I want to reload it. I think I'm supposed to type yum install aptName.Is that right?Also, I don't know what to put in for aptName. I can't find the package names on the Fedora site. Where did they hide it? Also, where do I download apts. I searched with Google and find all kinds of sites I don't trust.

can anybody confirm how stable is Fedora 13?I want to use it as web server, and to use virtuelization on it.Fedora's Virtual manager seems very unreliable, so I use VirtualBox.If Fedora 13 is not good enough for reliable Web server, can anyone suggest other OS.And, is CentOS more stable then Fedora 13?

I've been trying to install a minimal Ubuntu using mini.iso and have a couple of questions to you, wise heads gives me gnome without all "unnecessary" applications, but it also gives me things like evolution and a couple of others which I don't need/want. Is there a way to install the bare minimum of gnome, but without any of these applications?

I need to ftp some files nightly from my linux box to an arbituary ftp server not controlled by me.
The ftp server admin has granted me an account for the purpose, but do not wish me to store the plain username or password in any script files for security reasons. How can I do that?
the wrong way would be:
Code:
$ cat my_script
open server_address
user plane_ftp_username plane_ftp_password
put a.txt
[Code].....

I just got 512M RAM so i thought to switch off all the programs that i most likely will not need. The big ones, i think might be, gdm, gnome, metacity. I think a plain X will suit my purpose.

I am looking to compile a kernel for my system which is a home built machine. This machine is stable and has not had any hardware changes in the past 2 years. I am trying to figure out exactly what modules and options to include in my custom kernel. Is there a way to see what modules are actually in use on my system and build a custom kernel based on that?

I have a very powerful I7 Intel processor. On this computer I want to simply run an instance of Apache Tomcat (dedicated server) running a java application with a bunch of things like mail server, servlet container, jasper, etc. Some versions of linux have too many features that I do not need. I do not want the clutter of features I will never use. What is the bare bone version of linux distrib? would that be debian?
These two distributions seem to be popular elsewhere on the internet:
CentOS 5 (64-bit)
Ubuntu Linux 8.04 LTS Hardy Heron (64 bit)

is it possible to install with just the very min of things, no GUI, etc so I can use it as a compact OS for an old Pentium2 system with a 10 GB hard drive? Should I have downloaded the server edition ISO for this? Is it possible to remove everything down to the bare min without the graphical junk from a Desktop CD disk install? Maybe I should use [URL]
