Hello All,
I am beginning my exploration with Xen (Alpine-Xen and XCP-ng) for a PoC
project in which I think that I might have to figure out how to modify
the latest Xen source code to make it happen, but wanted to see if I
might be able to get some guidance and advice from the developers forum
here.
What I am initially seeking to do, and while I also know that you can
get access to th VM consoles via VNC (Not sure if RDP is compiled in as
well) and also knowing that after booting Dom0 has the console (text and
graphics if available), what I am seeking to do is to have Xen boot and
the instead of Dom0 hacing the console, I would like to be able to
auto-boot a DomU and then let it have the console in full screen mode.
This will probably be a DomU VM with a graphics frontend running after
it boots. (i.e. Ubuntu, Windows, etc.) but not Dom0.
Of course, once I can figure this part out, the second step would be to
have multiple DomUs running and to then be able to page between them via
some universal Hot-Key sequence.
Basically, I want to modify the Xen code so that it can do this on the
local physical machine.
While, I do not think that Xen can do this right now, although I could
be wrong, I would like to edit the sources to allow for this, if possible.
Any ideas, or guidance as to where to look in the code to get started
would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Lonnie
