UPDATE: In the end I just went with Citrix XenServer as I found the open source version too difficult to get working:
Additional notes supplementing:
- Documentation out of date, instructions no longer apply to the Host
- Unable to get guest OS installed
- Unable to reattach previous guest OS installs
- Conflicting information about toolsets and Host OS
Additional notes supplementing:
Install Host (Dom0) and XenServer
- Install Ubuntu (see previous post Ubuntu install checklist)
- Install Xen:
- sudo apt-get install xen-hypervisor-amd64
If package isn't found see below (Update packages) - reboot
- Setup Network as bridged:
- sudo systemctl stop network-manager
(it may not be in use) - If your system is using netplan backup the conf:
sudo cp /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces.backup - Install ifupdown
sudo apt install ifupdown - Set the config for ifupdown:
vi /etc/network/interfaces (then see below) - The default timesout at 5mins (boot) so reduce that:
cp /lib/systemd/system/networking.service /lib/systemd/system/networking.service.backup
vi /lib/systemd/system/networking.service
TimeoutStartSec=30sec
/etc/network/interfaces
auto lo eth0 xenbr0
iface lo inet loopback
iface xenbr0 inet dhcp
bridge_ports eth0
iface eth0 inet manual
