The Xen hypervisor, a powerful open source industry standard for
virtualization, offers a powerful, efficient, and secure feature set for
virtualization of x86, x86_64, IA64, ARM, and other CPU architectures. It
supports a wide range of guest operating systems including Windows, Linux,
Solaris, and various versions of the BSD operating systems.
This script has a few optional dependencies:
mbootpack - creates LILO compatible kernel images
libssh2 - mostly used by libvirt, enable with USE_LIBSSH2=yes
ocaml-findlib - autodetected, builds oxenstored binary
bluez - enable with USE_BLUEZ=yes
Reading material:
README.SLACKWARE - explains Xen daemons and system startup
README.dom0 - explains setting up privileged Xen domain (host)
README.domU - talks about unprivileged Xen domain (guest)
README.openvswitch-extended - additional Open vSwitch use case
README.xsa - building Xen with latest security fixes
Toggle additional features:
BUILD_STUBDOM=yes - enables lightweight service/driver domains
INSTALL_OPENVSWITCH_EXTENDED=yes - systemwide install
WITH_OVMF=no - disables guest domain EFI/UEFI support
