WorkingTipsForXenVmExport

在XenServer虚机实例中，删除1中所示意的两个软件， 将C:\windows\system32\drivers\xen.sys删除或者转移目录:

从Xencenter导出镜像文件, 可通过XenCenter或者命令行导出，导出格式为xva格式.

编译xva-img：

$ git clone https://github.com/eriklax/xva-img.git
$ cd xva-img/
$ sudo apt install -y cmake libxxhash-dev
$ cmake .
$ sudo make install
$ which xva-img
/usr/local/bin/xva-img

解压xva文件并进行转换:

$ mkdir win10 && cd win10 && tar xf ../20240222XXXXXXXXXXX.xva
$ cd ..
$ xva-img -p disk-export win10/Ref\:21/ virtual_win10.raw

使用导出的virtual_win10.raw文件启动Qemu虚机, 注意磁盘类型为SATA:

WorkingTipsOnXenBasedMigration

1. 安装Xenserver

创建启动盘:

$ sudo dd if=./XenServer8_2024-01-09.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=1M && sudo sync

U盘启动工作站开始安装:

登陆:

[root@xenserver-tyy ~]# cat /etc/issue
XenServer 8

System Booted: 2024-02-21 11:16

Your XenServer host has now finished booting. 
To manage this server please use the XenCenter application. 
You can install XenCenter for Windows from https://www.xenserver.com/downloads.

You can connect to this system using one of the following network
addresses:

IP address not configured

[root@xenserver-tyy ~]# free -m
              total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:           1706         110        1278           8         318        1534

增加新xenserver:

添加的xenserver-tyy：

import类型只支持:

所以需要转换为vmdk?

转换格式

tigervncworkingtips

Install lxqt for using for vnc:

$ sudo pacman -S lxqt

Enable the vnc configration for using lxqt:

$ cat ~/.vnc/config
session=lxqt
geometry=1920x1080
alwaysshared

enable the linux user for session:

$ cat /etc/tigervnc/vncserver.users 
# TigerVNC User assignment
#
# This file assigns users to specific VNC display numbers.
# The syntax is <display>=<username>. E.g.:
#
# :2=andrew
# :3=lisa
 :1=dash

Now setup the vncpasswd:

$ vncpasswd

Then you could start the vnc via:

$ sudo systemctl start vncserver@:1
$ sudo systemctl enable vncserver@:1

WorkingTipsOnBuild6130tcKernel

Preparation

Definition for the vagrant build machine:

$ cat Vagrantfile 
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  config.vm.box = "bento/ubuntu-22.04"
  config.disksize.size = '180GB'

config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |v|
  v.memory = 65535
  v.cpus = 12
end

end
$ pwd
/home/dash/Code/vagrant/buildUbuntuKernel610tc

Extend the partition after login to the vm:

lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv 
resize2fs /dev/ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv

update the system:

apt update -y && apt upgrade -y

Install necessary packages for building kernel:

sudo apt install libncurses-dev gawk flex bison openssl libssl-dev dkms libelf-dev libudev-dev libpci-dev libiberty-dev autoconf llvm
sudo apt build-dep linux linux-image-unsigned-6.1.0-1029-oem

Source Code

enable all of the items of deb-src in /etc/apt/sources.list, then sudo apt update -y.

mkdir -p ~/Code/Code6101029
cd ~/Code/Code6101029
apt source linux-image-unsigned-6.1.0-1029-oem

Build the packages:

cd /home/vagrant/Code/Code6101029/linux-oem-6.1-6.1.0
fakeroot debian/rules clean
fakeroot debian/rules binary

Check the build result:

$ ls

linux-tools-6.1.0-1033-oem_6.1.0-1033.33_amd64.deb

Using docker for building

Initialize a docker instance for building:

sudo docker run -it -v /media/sdc/Code/buildkernel:/buildkernel ubuntu:22.04 /bin/bash

enter the docker and run:

apt update -y
apt install -y vim
vim /etc/apt/sources.list
apt update -y
apt install libncurses-dev gawk flex bison openssl libssl-dev dkms libelf-dev libudev-dev libpci-dev libiberty-dev autoconf llvm debhelper rsync python3-docutils bc libcap-dev git build-essential  asciidoc cpio libjvmti-oprofile0 linux-tools-common default-jdk binutils-dev libbtf1 libdwarf-dev dwarf* pahole libdwarf1 libdwarf++0

build time:

real	32m18.795s
user	309m36.938s
sys	43m52.711s

Customize kernel config file

Fetch the config file:

scp remote_config_files /root/config.common.ubuntu
cp /root/config.common.ubuntu linux-oem-6.1-6.1.0/debian.oem/config/

Edit the files:

# vim debian/rules.d/2-binary-arch.mk
......
	if [ -e $(commonconfdir)/config.common.ubuntu ]; then \
		//cat $(commonconfdir)/config.common.ubuntu $(archconfdir)/config.common.$(arch) $(archconfdir)/config.flavour.$(target_flavour) > $(builddir)/build-$*/.config; \
		cat /root/config.common.ubuntu > $(builddir)/build-$*/.config; \
	else \
......
# vim debian/rules.d/4-checks.mk
......
# Check the module list against the last release (always)
module-check-%: $(stampdir)/stamp-install-%
	@echo Debug: $@
	echo "done!"; 
	#$(DROOT)/scripts/checks/module-check "$*" \
	#	"$(prev_abidir)" "$(abidir)" $(do_skip_checks)


.......
config-prepare-check-%: $(stampdir)/stamp-prepare-tree-%
	@echo Debug: $@
	if [ -e $(commonconfdir)/config.common.ubuntu ]; then \
		echo "done!"; \
		#perl -f $(DROOT)/scripts/checks/config-check \
		#	$(builddir)/build-$*/.config "$(arch)" "$*" "$(commonconfdir)" \
		#	"$(skipconfig)" "$(do_enforce_all)"; \

......

patch :

$ patch -p1 < xxxx.patch

Then building.

tc diff for dkms

Create the diff files via:

# diff -x '.*' -Nur i915-sriov-dkms-6.1.73 i915-sriov-dkms-6.1.73.tci>dkms-kexec.patch

apply the patch , then rebuild:

# dkms remove -m i915-sriov-dkms -v 6.1.73
# dkms install -m i915-sriov-dkms -v 6.1.73
