Installation guide

vfb=type={vnc,sdl}, vncunused=1,
vncdisplay=N,
vnclisten=ADDR, display=DISPLAY,
xauthority=XAUTHORITY,
vncpasswd=PASSWORD,
keymap=KEYMAP
Make the domain a framebuffer backend. The
backend type should be either
sdl
or
vnc
. For
type=vnc
, connect an external vncviewer. The
server will listen on ADDR (default 127.0.0.1) on
port N+5900. N defaults to the domain id. If
vncunused=1
, the server will try to find an
arbitrary unused port above 5900. For
type=sdl
, a viewer will be started automatically
using the given DISPLAY and XAUTHORITY,
which default to the current user's ones.
vif=type=TYPE, mac=MAC,
bridge=BRIDGE, ip=IPADDR,
script=SCRIPT, backend=DOM,
vifname=NAME
Add a network interface with the given MAC
address and bridge. The
vif
is configured by
calling the given configuration script. If type is
not specified, default is netfront not ioemu
device. If mac is not specified a random MAC
address is used. If not specified then the network
backend chooses its own MAC address. If
bridge is not specified the first bridge found is
used. If script is not specified the default script is
used. If backend is not specified the default
backend driver domain is used. If vifname is not
specified the backend virtual interface will have
name vifD .N where D is the domain id and N is
the interface id. This option may be repeated to
add more than one vif. Specifying vifs will
increase the number of interfaces as needed.
vtpm=instance=INSTANCE
,backend=
DOM
Add a TPM interface. On the backend side use
the given instance as virtual TPM instance. The
given number is merely the preferred instance
number. The hotplug script will determine which
instance number will actually be assigned to the
domain. The association between virtual
machine and the TPM instance number can be
found in
/etc/xen/vtpm.db
. Use the backend
in the given domain.
access_control=policy=POLICY
,label=
LAB
EL
Add a security label and the security policy
reference that defines it. The local ssid reference
is calculated when starting or resuming the
domain. At this time, the policy is checked
against the active policy as well. This way,
migrating through the save or restore functions
are covered and local labels are automatically
created correctly on the system where a domain
is started or resumed.
nics
=
NUM
DEPRECATED. Use empty vif entries instead. Set
the number of network interfaces. Use the vif
option to define interface parameters, otherwise
defaults are used. Specifying vifs will increase
the number of interfaces as needed.
root
=
DEVICE
Set the
root
= parameter on the kernel command
line. Use a device, e.g.
/dev/sda1
, or
/dev/nfs
for NFS root.
