Xen 4.4: How to install in Debian Jessie

Ideal environment:
  • sda1 - /boot 200MB
  • sda2 - / 15GB
  • sda3 - swap
  • sda4 - reserved for LVM
Check CPU support 
# egrep '(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo
Install clock synchronize
# apt-get install ntp
Install network bridge utility
# apt-get install bridge-utils
Install Xen 
# apt-get install xen-linux-system
# apt-get install xen-hypervisor-4.4-amd64
# apt-get install xen-tools
# apt-get install qemu-system-x86
Make kernel for Xen active
find ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/20_linux_xen ### in /boot/grub/grub.cfg
# vi /boot/grub/grub.cfg
### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/20_linux_xen ### 
menuentry 'Debian GNU/Linux, with Xen hypervisor' 
Edit /etc/default/grub
# vi /etc/default/grub
GRUB_DEFAULT='Debian GNU/Linux, with Xen hypervisor'
update grub 
# update-grub
Restart to activate Xen kernel, check your Xen
