• The Perfect Xen Setup For Debian And Ubuntu

  Author: Falko Timme • Tags: debian, ubuntu, virtualization, xen • Comments: 23

  The Perfect Xen Setup For Debian And Ubuntu This tutorial provides step-by-step instructions on how to install Xen (version 2) on a Debian Sarge (3.1) system. It should apply to Ubuntu systems with little or no modifications.Xen lets you create guest operating systems (*nix operating systems like Linux and FreeBSD), so called "virtual machines" or domUs, under a host operating system (dom0). Using Xen you can separate your applications into different virtual machines that are totally independent from each other (e.g. a virtual machine for a mail server, a virtual machine for a high-traffic web site, another virtual machine that serves your customers' web sites, a virtual machine for DNS, etc.), but still use the same hardware. This saves money, and what is even more important, it's more secure. If the virtual machine of your DNS server gets hacked, it has no effect on your other virtual machines. Plus, you can move virtual machines from one Xen server to the next one.

• How To Install VMware Server On Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake)

  Author: Till Brehm • Tags: ubuntu, virtualization, vmware • Comments: 23

  How To Install VMware Server On Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake)VMware has just released version 1.0 of its free VMware Server. With VMware Server you can create and run guest operating systems ("virtual machines") such as Linux, Windows, FreeBSD, etc. under a host operating system. This has the benefit that you can run multiple operating systems on the same hardware which saves a lot of money, and you can move virtual machines from one VMware Server to the next one (or to a system that has the VMware Player which is also free). In this article we use Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake) as the host operating system.

• Building A Virtual Server (VPS) With Debian 3.1 (Sarge) And OpenVZ

  Author: Till Brehm • Tags: debian, openvz, virtualization • Comments: 8

  Building A Virtual Server (VPS) With Debian 3.1 (Sarge) And OpenVZ In this HowTo I will describe the steps to be taken to prepare a server for OpenVZ virtual machines on Debian 3.1 (Sarge) 32Bit Linux. With OpenVZ you can create multiple Virtual Private Servers (VPS) on the same hardware, similar to Xen and the Linux Vserver project. OpenVZ is the open-source branch of Virtuozzo, a commercial virtualization solution used by many providers that offer virtual servers. The OpenVZ kernel patch is licensed under the GPL license, and the user-level tools are under the QPL license.

• Managing Xen With Xen-Tools, Xen-Shell, And Argo

  Author: Falko Timme • Tags: virtualization, xen • Comments: 4

  Managing Xen With Xen-Tools, Xen-Shell, And Argo This guide describes how to install and use xen-tools, xen-shell, and Argo on a Debian system. All three packages provide useful tools for the administration of virtual Xen machines. Xen-tools is a collection of Perl scripts that allow you to easily create, update, and delete Xen guest domains. The xen-shell provides a command-line interface to owners of Xen domains so that they can manage their Xen domains without the help of the server administrator. And with Argo, you can control Xen domains through a web interface or through a menu on the command line. All three packages were developed for Debian systems, but might work on other distributions as well.
