xmdomain.cfg - формат конфигурационного файла домена xm
[править] Синтаксис
/etc/xen/myxendomain /etc/xen/myxendomain2 /etc/xen/auto/myxenautostarted
[править] Описание
The xm(1) program uses python executable config files to define domains to create from scratch. Each of these config files needs to contain a number of required options, and may specify many more.
Domain configuration files live in /etc/xen by default, if you store config files anywhere else the full path to the config file must be specified in the xm create command.
/etc/xen/auto is a special case. Domain config files in that directory will be started automatically at system boot if the xendomain init script is enabled. The contents of /etc/xen/auto should be symlinks to files in /etc/xen to allow xm create to be used without full paths.
Options are specified by name = value statements in the xmdomain.cfg files.
[править] Опции
The following lists the most commonly used options for a domain config file.
[править] kernel
The kernel image for the domain. The format of the parameter is the fully qualified path to the kernel image file, i.e. /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12-xenU.
[править] ramdisk
The initial ramdisk for the domain. The format of the parameter is the fully qualified path to the initrd, i.e. /boot/initrd.gz. On many Linux distros you will not need a ramdisk if using the default xen kernel.
[править] memory
The amount of RAM , in megabytes, to allocate to the domain when it starts. Allocating insufficient memory for a domain may produce extremely bizarre behavior. If there isn't enough free memory left on the machine to fulfill this request, the domain will fail to start.
Xen does not support overcommit of memory, so the total memory of all guests (+ 64 MB needed for Xen) must be less than or equal to the physical RAM in the machine.
[править] name
A unique name for the domain. Attempting to create two domains with the same name will cause an error.
[править] root
Specifies the root device for the domain. This is required for Linux domains, and possibly other OSes.
[править] nics
The number of network interfaces allocated to the domain on boot. It defaults to 1.
[править] disk
An array of block device stanzas, in the form:
disk = [ "stanza1", "stanza2", ... ]
Each stanza has 3 terms, separated by commas, "backend-dev,frontend-dev,mode".
[править] backend-dev
The device in the backend domain that will be exported to the guest (frontend) domain. Supported formats include:
phy:device - export the physical device listed. The device can be in symbolic form, as in sda7, or as the hex major/minor number, as in 0x301 (which is hda1).
file://path/to/file - export the file listed as a loopback device. This will take care of the loopback setup before exporting the device.
[править] frontend-dev
How the device should appear in the guest domain. The device can be in symbolic form, as in sda7, or as the hex major/minor number, as in 0x301 (which is hda1).
[править] mode
The access mode for the device. There are currently 2 valid options, r (read-only), w (read/write).
[править] vif
An array of virtual interface stanzas in the form:
vif = [ "stanza1", "stanza2", ... ]
Each stanza specifies a set of name = value options separated by commas, in the form: "name1=value1, name2=value2, ..."
OPTIONS
bridge The network bridge to be used for this device. This is especially needed if multiple bridges exist on the machine.
mac The MAC address for the virtual interface. If mac is not specified, one will be randomly chosen by xen with the 00:16:3e vendor id prefix.
ADDITIONAL OPTIONS
The following options are also supported in the config file, though are far more rarely used.
[править] builder
Which builder should be used to construct the domain. This defaults to the linux if not specified, which is the builder for paravirtualized Linux domains. cpu
Specifies which CPU the domain should be started on, where 0 specifies the first cpu, 1 the second, and so on. This defaults to -1, which means Xen is free to pick which CPU to start on.
[править] cpus
Specifies a list of CPUs on which the domains' VCPUs are allowed to execute upon. The syntax supports ranges (0-3), and negation, ^1. For instance:
cpus = "0-3,5,^1"
Will result in CPUs 0, 2, 3, 5 being available for use by the domain.
[править] extra
Extra information to append to the end of the kernel parameter line. The format is a string, the contents of which can be anything that the kernel supports. For instance:
extra = "4"
Will cause the domain to boot to runlevel 4.
[править] nfs_server
The IP address of the NFS server to use as the root device for the domain. In order to do this you'll need to specify root=/dev/nfs, and specify nfs_root.
[править] nfs_root
The directory on the NFS server to be used as the root filesystem. Specified as a fully qualified path, i.e. /full/path/to/root/dir.
[править] vcpus
The number of virtual cpus to allocate to the domain. In order to use this the xen kernel must be compiled with SMP support.
This defaults to 1, meaning running the domain as a UP .
[править] Опции выключения домена
There are 3 options which control domain shutdown (both planned and unplanned) under certain events. The 3 events currently captured are:
on_shutdown
Triggered on either an xm shutdown or graceful shutdown from inside the DomU.
on_reboot
Triggered on either an xm reboot or graceful reboot from inside the DomU.
on_crash
Triggered when a DomU goes to the crashed state for any reason.
All of them take one of 4 valid states listed below. destroy
The domain will be cleaned up completely. No attempt at respawning will occur. This is what a typical shutdown would look like.
restart
The domain will be restarted with the same name as the old domain. This is what a typical reboot would look like.
preserve
The domain will not be cleaned up at all. This is often useful for crash state domains which ensures that enough evidence is to debug the real issue.
rename-restart
The old domain will not be cleaned up, but will be renamed so a new domain can be restarted in it's place. The old domain will be renamed with a suffix -1, -2, etc, and assigned a new random UUID ; the new domain will keep the original name and UUID . The old domain will release the devices that it holds, so that the new one may take them.
[править] Примеры
The following are quick examples of ways that domains might be configured. They should not be considered an exhaustive set.
A Loopback File as Root
kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6-xenU" memory = 128 name = "MyLinux" root = "/dev/hda1 ro" disk = [ "file:/var/xen/mylinux.img,hda1,w" ]
This creates a domain called MyLinux with 128 MB of memory using a default xen kernel, and the file /var/xen/mylinux.img loopback mounted at hda1, which is the root filesystem.
