Booting the System

After installing the Red Hat Virtualization components, you must reboot the system. When the

boot completes, you must log into your system as usual. Then before you start Red Hat

Virtualization you must log in a root. The xend control daemon should already be initiated by

initscripts, but to start the xend manually, enter:

service xend start

You can also use chkconfig xend when installing to enable xend at boot time.

The xend node control daemon performs system management functions that relate to virtual

machines. This daemon controls the virtualized resources, and xend must be running to interact

with virtual machines. Before you start xend, you must specify the operating parameters by

editing the xend configuration file xend-config.sxp which is located in the etc/xen directory.
