Virtualisation Howtos
Here I wrote down how I installed virtual Linux servers with UML and XEN. Hopefully this will help you get the best out of your Linux server hosting.
So far I have four HOWTOs:
- UML with Debian Woody and kernel 2.4
- UML with Debian Sarge and kernel 2.6
- XEN with Debian Sarge and kernel 2.6
- How to change the root partition of your remote Linux server
I moved the commands for creating and deleting virtual servers into scripts, so that additional virtual servers can be installed easily.
There is also a script for backing up a virtual server while it ist running.
LVM snapshotting is used for backups without disturbing the servers. Unfortunately, this is not stable yet in kernel 2.6.
