I am currently working on making LTM VE run as a PV domU on Xen 4.0.1.
For anyone wanting to try this the following domU config will get you started:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
import os, re
arch = os.uname()[4]
pae = 1
acpi = 1
apic = 1
sdl = 0
vnc = 1
vnclisten = "0.0.0.0"
vncconsole = 1
vncpasswd = ''
stdvga = 0
serial = 'pty'
kernel = '/usr/lib/xen-default/boot/hvmloader'
builder = 'hvm'
device_model = '/usr/lib/xen-default/bin/qemu-dm'
vcpus = '1'
memory = '1024'
shadow_memory = '8'
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/guest/dmzlb-disk,hda,w' ]
boot = 'c'
name = 'dmzlb'
vif = [
'type=ioemu, model=pcnet, bridge=mgmt',
'type=ioemu, model=e1000, bridge=internal',
'type=ioemu, model=e1000, bridge=external'
]
on_poweroff = 'destroy'
on_reboot = 'restart'
on_crash = 'restart'
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Adding interfaces is as simple as adding more 'type=ioemu, model=e1000, bridge=', elements to the vif config.
Same deal as for other hypervisors re UNITIALIZED interfaces - just add them to a VLAN and their status will change to UP.
I assume you are already familiar with Xen 4. If you want to try this and you aren't then I suggest reading through the Open Source Xen online documentation rather than asking for help here.
