ESF Fermilab Testbed

Notes

I gave up on Scientific Linux 4.1 -- too unstable. This is a Scientific Linux 3.0.3 distribution.

yum install bridge-utils I packaged Twisted-1.3.0 (apparently somewhere between there and 2.1.0, the naming conventions have changed) with SRPMs and RPMS. I'll link those in later.

I packaged python-logging from http://www.red-dove.com as well, since the logging modules are included in python 2.3 and only python 2.2 is included with SL 3. (Xen docs are incorrect on this point -- they state python 2.2+ is the requirement).

After a bit of hacking around, I realized that Xen wasn't booting because the prebuilt Xen kernels lacked the 3ware raid driver (3w-xxxx). I downloaded the source, ran make menucnofig, and included them in the monolithic image. I also did a 'make xen' and a 'make tools'; xend start complained about a Python C API version mismatch otherwise.

Ok, xen is now installed! Try out: cms-xen1.fnal.gov
