Hi Sanjay You need to get the Xen client libraries installed. Unfortunately the xen client does not seem to be factored nicely on CentOS and pulls the whole kernel. But you do not need to boot it in to Xen kernel to use ConVirt. So, let it install the required packages, but so long as you do not boot in to Xen kernel, you should be fine under your Parrallel environment.
Hope this clarifies it. /Jd --- On Tue, 7/28/09, Sanjay Arora <[email protected]> wrote: From: Sanjay Arora <[email protected]> Subject: [convirt-users] Running Convirture in Virtual CentOS Linux installed under Parallels To: [email protected] Date: Tuesday, July 28, 2009, 1:43 PM XEN newbie. Looking for a GUI Tool to manage my office XEN install (proposed) from any GUI tool to be installed in CentOS v. 5.x running under Parallels v. 4, on my Macbook. I evaluated Convirture & though it suitable as it is able to manage remote servers. However when I tried to install it using yum, I found that it tries to install Xen kernel on the machine running it. In my case this is a Virtual Linux Server running under Parallels. So I thought it is like running a hypervisor inside hypervisor and would not work as each would want direct hardware access. Am I correct? Or can I run convirture without Xen kernel, as I need to manage Xen only on remote machines, not on the local machine running Convirture? If so, is such a rpm version available? And if I cant run convirture within virtualized Linux, can someone please suggest any alternative? With best regards.
