7.3.1 Installing the RHEL 4 Drivers
1
Open a terminal.
2 Locate the RPM package you want to install (
opt/novell/
vm-driver-pack
).
If you are installing from the binary RPM included with the driver pack, the
RPM is located on the driver pack ISO. .
(Optional) If you are installing from an RPM that you built, the RPM is located
in
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/ arch
, where
arch
is the architecture of
the virtual machine. See Section 7.3.5, “Building Your Own RPMs” (page 76)
for more information.
3 Set up the ISO image or CD as a virtual CD reader by following the instructions
in
Section 5.1, “Virtual CD Readers” (page 33).
4
Enter
rpm -U xxx .rpm
, where
xxx
is the RPM filename.
5 Edit the
/boot/grub/menu.lst
file and make the following change:
For each drive specified in the virtual machine configuration file (for example,
hda and hdb), append
hdx =noprobe
to the kernel line for the updated
kernel, where
hdx
is the drive specification found in the virtual machine
configuration file.
6
Shut down the virtual machine.
7 On the virtualization host server, open a terminal and enter
xm delete
vm_name
to delete the virtual machine’s reference in the xenstore so it is no
longer managed.
TIP
Enter
xm list
to see the name of the virtual machine (
vm_name
).
8 Open the virtual machine configuration file located on the virtualization host
server (
/etc/xen/vm/vm_cfgfile
where
vm_cfgfile
is usually the
same as the name of the virtual machine).
