Hello there ! I understand you can successfully build the installer on your development environment.

To make our CD small, the installer environment uses Tiny Core linux, this saves about 40 MB from having to add X Org on our Ubuntu image. To package the installer as tcz  ( Tiny Core package, equivalent to deb in Ubuntu) and build the initrd image, there is excellent documentation here:

Thank you for reply. My steps is：

1、compile psinstall in xubuntu(with qt4.8.6)  from source

2、 unsquashfs psinstall.tcz  , replace the psinstall binary, repackge the psinstall.tcz  and replace the tcz packaget

3、rebuild the iso

But when i boot from the new iso,it won't enter the installer dialog. And i can't excute the psinstall manually,it raise "not found"

Re building CD:  To compile c/c++ code, the target and build environments need to be the same.  To build the installer under Tiny Core, you need to compile it under Tiny Core development environment.

Release 1.3 is targeted 3rd week of April.

Note the Xen support is to allow PetaSAN to run under Xen as DomU:  either PV or PVHVM (recommended) modes

The support is to run under Xen as DomU optimized.

The boot Xen from iSCSI is feature that needs to be supported from the Xen side.

I do not know a lot about this but from googling it seems to be not very well supported:

Hi Admin,

I'm newbie in this forum. I'm using ovirt as  virtualization platform. I will try to use it with this PetaSAN and comment it.

Work Hard PetaSAN Team.
