This page allows you to tell Cloudmin that an existing system it manages is
suitable for hosting Xen instances. To do this, the following fields must
be filled in :
- System hosting Xens
- From the menu you must select a physical system that has the software
installed and kernel version required to run Xen. Cloudmin does not yet have
the ability to install these packages automatically.
- Base directory for virtual systems
- Here you must enter a directory under which Xen instances will be created,
which must already exist on the selected host system. Because Xen instances
use a large amount of disk space (2GB or more each), you should choose
a local directory with plenty of space.
- Add Xen systems to DNS domain
- If the master Cloudmin system runs a DNS server, this field will show a menu
of local DNS domains to which the hostname of newly created Xen instances
will be added. It is highly recommended that you setup a DNS server and make sure it can be managed through Webmin before using Xen and Cloudmin, so that
new instances will have resolvable hostnames.
- IP address allocation range
- When a Xen instance is created, Cloudmin can assign an IP address for it
automatically. The IP will be taken from the range you enter in this field,
by finding addresses that are not in use by any other virtual system and
do not respond to pings.
