I rebuilt CLIFTON as a XEN VM because the host machine, RYDE, had caught fire.
I put the following configuration into /OVS/running_pool/CLIFTON/clifton.hvm:
# ===================================================================== # HVM guest configuration for CLIFTON # Generated 2017-08-01 18:27:00 # ===================================================================== # # This is a fairly minimal example of what is required for an # HVM guest. For a more complete guide see xl.cfg(5) # This configures an HVM rather than PV guest builder = "hvm" # Guest name name = "clifton" # 128-bit UUID for the domain as a hexadecimal number. # Use "uuidgen" to generate one if required. uuid = "7c422069-1768-413b-b1ea-6919f492fa11" # Initial memory allocation (MB) memory = 2048 # Number of VCPUS vcpus = 1 # Network devices # A list of 'vifspec' entries as described in # docs/misc/xl-network-configuration.markdown vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3E:00:00:1A,bridge=xenbr0' ] # Disk Devices # A list of 'diskspec' entries as described in # docs/misc/xl-disk-configuration.txt disk = [ '/OVS/running_pool/CLIFTON/root_disk,raw,xvda,rw', '/OVS/iso_pool/V100082-01.iso,raw,xvdc,ro,cdrom' ] # Guest VGA console configuration, either SDL or VNC vnc = 1 vnclisten = "0.0.0.0" vncdisplay = "9"
I followed the procedure in Install Oracle Enterprise Linux 7.2.
