Sometime ago installed my RedHat 5 with xen. Then I needed to create a virtual server running RedHat 4 in it, all needed to be 64 bit because Opsware required 64 bit RHEL AS4, so had to come up with an inexpensive solution. Got Intel Quad from Dell for $400 with 8gb ram, inexpensive desktop, installed RedHat 5 on it, then created xen virtual server in it running RedHat AS 4 for Opsware, of course opsware is not supported under XEN as a virtual server and it would not run under RedHat 5, so I had to hack it a bit to get it working, actually to get it installed is quite simple. Anyway so I had my RedHat AS4 vm running then I did notice that my desktop running all of that rebooted the other day, but my opsware virtual server did not start. With XEN I am not that familiar so I had issues starting it with command line, so I was ending up bringing xdisplay back to my pc remotely just to start it up. Well what it turned out that I don’t have to do this anymore. I was playing around with starting it up and why, I can do it automatically.
Anyway solution to start it up was very simple, on my RedHat 5 hyperviser I had to go to /etc/xen directory, there is directory called auto, and there is a config file for my virtual server called opsware (name of that virtual server) so to get it automatically started I needed to create a symbolic link inside that auto directory that pointed to that opsware config file.
Simple and easy, not when my desktop reboots my xen vm starts automatically. 
Just installed Red Hat AS4 and I am unable to login with root account. Passwd is all set but I am getting popup message saying “Root logins are not allowed”, simple solution is to press CTRL+ALT+F1 and switch to console login and you will be on your way Nice and simple.
This utility is so cool, how many times I did try to figure out netmasks, broadcasts etc, this utility actualy performs simple manipulation of IP addresses:
ipcalc – provides a simple way to calculate IP information for a host. The various options specify what information ipcalc should display on standard out. Multiple options may be specified. An IP address to operate on must always be specified. Most operations also require a netmask or a CIDR prefix as well.
# ipcalc -nbm 192.168.1.254/29
NETMASK=255.255.255.248
BROADCAST=192.168.1.255
NETWORK=192.168.1.248

Physically connect HBA to disk array.
Create LUN on disk array (50 GB in this case).
Reboot server to see new LUN. Note 2 separate device files with same size. This is normal.
Reboot again and interrupt the boot process and enable BIOS on the HBA card by pressing Control-Q.
Find disk device names (select sdc and sde)
