How to install CentOS 5.2 DomU under openSUSE 11 Dom0

English Applications
#1

Hello,

I installed openSUSE 11 and Xen Virtualization from openSUSE-11.0-DVD-x86_64.iso.
I need to install a CentOS 5.2 as domU from iso image.
If I install a new VM via Virtual Machine Manager (VMM), after creating VM and booting, installation can not find the DVD and the installation can not continue.
After search related info, I found that many faced with such a problem.
Also, I have found information that CentOS can install via booting from the iso image, and further
to continue the installation from NFS share or from HTTP,
before creating these resources on the host system.

So is there a setup using an image from a jailtime.org
But this option is not entirely understood by me.
I ask me to explain - in what is still the best way to install CentOS as domU.

Install CentOS 5.2 & F9 PV DomUs at OpenSuse 11 Dom0 via local HTTP Server (all 64-bit) « Xen Virtualization on Linux and Solaris

Even i wouldn’t understand Apache Server good enough to
create local HTTP mirror via ISO image at Dom0. It’s always possible
to create image file via virt-install in text mode
at CentOS 5.2 Dom0. Then “scp” it to Suse11 Dom0 and load DomU:-

cat CentOS52.cfg

name=‘CentOS52PV’
memory=‘1024’
kernel=/etc/xen/vm/vmlinuz-2.6.18-92.xen
ramdisk=/etc/xen/vm/initrd-2.6.18-92.xen
extra=‘root=/dev/VolGroup01/LogVol00’

scp’ed image file

disk=‘file:/etc/xen/images/centos.img,xvda,w’]
vif =‘bridge=eth(x)’]

xm create -c CentOS52.cfg

VNC at DomU may be setup afterwards
