    About this ebook

    Complete Coverage of Xen, Including Version 3.2
    Virtualization with Xen is the first book to demonstrate to readers how to install, administer, and maintain a virtual infrastructure based on XenSource’s latest release, Xen 3.2. It discusses best practices for setting up a Xen environment correctly the first time, maximizing the utilization of server assets while taking advantage of the fastest and most secure enterprise-grade paravirtualization architecture. It covers both basic and advanced topics, such as planning and installation, physical-to-virtual migrations, virtual machine provisioning, resource management, and monitoring and troubleshooting guests and Xen hosts.

    * Explore Xen’s Virtualization Model
    Find a complete overview of the architecture model as well of all products: Xen 3.0 , Xen Express, XenServer, and Xen Enterprise.
    * Deploy Xen
    Understand the system requirements, learn installation methods, and see how to install Xen on a free Linux distribution.
    * Master the Administrator Console
    Learn how to use the command-line tools and the remote Java-based consoler that manages the configuration and operations of XenServer hosts and VMs.
    * Manage Xen with Third-Party Tools
    Use products like openQRM, Enomalism, and Project ConVirt to manage the VMM.
    * Deploy a Virtual Machine in Xen
    Learn about workload planning and installing modified guests, unmodified guests, and Windows guests.
    * Explore Advanced Xen Concepts
    Build a Xen Cluster, complete a XenVM migration, and discover XenVM backup and recovery solutions.
    * See the Future of Virtualization
    See the unofficial Xen road map and what virtual infrastructure holds for tomorrow’s data center.
    * See Other Virtualization Technologies and How They Compare with Xen
    Take a look at the different types of server virtualization, other virtual machine software available, and how they compare with Xen.
    • Xen has the lead in the open-source community; now distributed as a standard kernel package for Novell’s SLES 10 and Red Hat’s RHEL 5 and Fedora Core 6 Linux distributions
    • Covers installation, administration, management, monitoring, and deployment planning and strategies
