# uXen : Open Source type-2 hypervisor support
For any issues with the uXen recipes please make sure you CC:
christopher.w.clark@gmail.com
## uxen-guest-tools : software for within guest VMs, kernel modules
* uxenhc : hypercall driver
* uxenfb : framebuffer driver
* uxenhid : Human Input Device driver
* uxennet : virtual network device driver
* uxenplatform : uXen platform device driver
* uxenstor : virtual storage device driver
* uxenv4vlib : v4v, Hypervisor-Mediated data eXchange
* v4vvsock : v4v vsock virtual network device driver
* v4vtest : basic v4v vsock test
To produce a bootable VM disk image file:
wic create directdisk -e uxen-guest-image-minimal
To test, copy the .direct file that wic produces to the host with uXen installed and write the following to a new file: `linux-vm.json`. Update the file path within it to point to your wic-generated disk image:
{
"name" : "Linux Virtual Machine",
"boot-order" : "c",
"block" :
{ "id": "ich0", "proto" : "raw", "xsnapshot" : true,
"path" : "c:/Users/Yocto/directdisk-202001010100-sda.direct" },
"memory" : 768,
"net" : { "type" : "nic", "model" : "e1000" },
"hpet" : 1,
"vcpus" : 1,
"use-v4v-net" : 1,
"v4v-storage" : true,
"" : ""
}
and then boot it:
uxendm -F linux-vm.json
