Xen and CentOS#
Console on Serial Port#
- TLDP HOWTO
- RHEL Example 1
- RHEL Example 2
- Debian Xen Example
- Xen Boot Arguments
- Xen Serial Console
- Kernel Serial Module
Things to note:
- BIOS console redirection: the port you select will be redirected to another port (i.e. if you set console on redirection to use COM1, you will need to tell all the software to use COM2...)
- GRUB needs to be told to use the serial port
- Xen needs to be told to use the serial port
- Linux needs to be told to use the serial port
- init needs to be told to start "agetty" and put a console on the serial port
- disable all "pretty boot" crap, to be nice to any vt100s...
Planned Upgrades#
- Infiniband - Connect all servers via infiband
- SSD - Use low capacity SSDs for file system journals.
- Install Maximum RAM in 1U Servers - 64GB via 16x4GB DDR2
