I would like to try out the Xen Hypervisor and have been following this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen
I'm stuck at the part about the partition.
How do I go about setting up the partitions correctly during the install of Ubuntu to get it ready for Xen? I see that dom0 only needs to be 5-10gb. During installation do I click "Something Else" and how do I make sure I'm using LVM?
dom0 really needs less then 4GB. During partitioning I recommend:
Install the OS and then install XEN.
Add to /etc/default/grubthe following line:
GRUB_CMDLINE_XEN="dom0_mem=1024M,max:1024M dom0_max_vcpus=2"
Add a 512MB swap file in the local file system (e.g. /var/swap).
Partition the rest of the disk as you like. Ideally create another partition that fills up the disk, then use it as physical volume for LVM.
