====== Install Xen 4.4 on Ubuntu 14.04======

===== Compile and Install Xen 4.4  from source =====

<file bash>
apt-get install bcc bin86 gawk bridge-utils iproute libcurl3 libcurl4-openssl-dev bzip2 module-init-tools transfig tgif texinfo texlive-latex-base texlive-latex-recommended texlive-fonts-extra texlive-fonts-recommended pciutils-dev mercurial make gcc libc6-dev zlib1g-dev python python-dev python-twisted libncurses5-dev patch libvncserver-dev libsdl-dev iasl libbz2-dev e2fslibs-dev git-core uuid-dev ocaml ocaml-findlib libx11-dev bison flex xz-utils libyajl-dev gettext libpixman-1-dev

apt-get build-dep xen

cd /usr/src
wget http://bits.xensource.com/oss-xen/release/4.4.0/xen-4.4.0.tar.gz
tar xvzf xen-4.4.0.tar.gz
cd xen-4.4.0
./configure --prefix=/usr
make dist
make install

</file>

===== Enable Network Bridging =====
<file network /etc/network/interfaces>
iface eth0 inet manual

auto xenbr0
iface xenbr0 inet dhcp
  bridge_ports eth0

</file>


===== Enable startup services and install virt-manager =====
<file>
update-rc.d xencommons defaults
update-rc.d xendomains defaults
update-rc.d xen-watchdog defaults

apt-get install virt-manager
mkdir /var/log/libvirt/libxl/
</file>
notes: for some reason libvirt-bin needs /var/log/libvirt/libxl/ created otherwise libvirtd will not start.  You also need to add a new xen hypervisor connection to virt-manager the first time you start virt-manager.

===== Update Grub Loader =====
<file>
cd /boot/
rm xen-4.4.gz xen-4.gz xen.gz

update-grub
</file>
Notes: By default ubuntu will not boot xen so you either need to change the default boot entry or [[ubuntu:gub2|force grub boot menu to be displayed]]

===== Build libvirt =====
<file>
apt-get build-dep libvirt
tar xvzf libvirt-1.2.2.tar.gz -C /usr/src
cd /usr/src/libvirt-1.2.2
./configure --prefix=/usr/
make
make install
</file>

===== Basic xen vm config =====

<file>
builder='hvm'

memory = 512
name = "fbsd10"
vif = [ 'type=ioemu, bridge=xenbr0' ]
disk = [ 'file:/root/vm/freebsd10.raw,xvda,w', 'file:/root/vm/iso/freebsd10x64.iso,xvdc:cdrom,r' ]

===== Spice Enabled config =====
