Installing Para Virtualized guest using ISO file

[tournesol]

Hi.

Are there any ideas that can use ISO file(ex: Fedora-8-i386-DVD.iso) to
install Para Virtualized guest OS ?

Waiting for your help.

Do you install vsftpd? If so, you mount ISO to /var/ftp/pub,
and vsftpd start, then you can install the local ftp server,
I think.

You can not install using the iso as such for a pv system. You will need 
to install it through HTTP / NFS / FTP / ... ( I am normally using http, 
& I am unsure if NFS is now supported ).

Install httpd server
yum -y install httpd

create a directory to mount your iso
mkdir /var/www/html/pub
mount -o loop /path-to-your-iso-image /var/www/html/pub

turn off SELinux & Firewall
setenforce 0
iptables -F
service httpd start

You should now be ready to install your Vm from

http://<ip of dom0>/pub

Hope this help.

NB ; do not use localhost for the IP of dom0

Here there is a Fedora 8 Quick Start guide to create Xen guests:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Fedora8VirtQuickStart#Building_a_Fedora_G...

I have installed guests using NFS and also FTP. If you already have
the ISO, you can do what Olivier mentioned to use HTTP or also mount
the ISO and share it through NFS.

See you,
