Topic: Sail v3.1 (SME8b6) on Xen

[guest22]

Hi Team,

I've done this:
http://forums.contribs.org/index.php/topic,47411.0.html

And want to install Sail based on RPMS. Apparently the sail wiki assumes a clean install on SME8b6 on it's ' own' machine. But I would like to install it on a Xen guest.

Any pointers on how much the defaults 3.x version of Sail deviates from what is required for a Xen guest. e.g. Dahdi etc.

Thanks,
guest

Hi RequestedDeletion

I'm afraid we have absolutely no experience with xen.  We use either native machines or Vmware.  In either case we just run up the standard sark distro, which is a modified SME8b4 or a regular EL5.  They use the standard Digium Asterisk & Dahdi RPMs from the Digium repo.

we've also played around with virtualbox running under Ubuntu and we have a version of SAIL running on that but again, its just a standard ISO install.

Sorry we can't help more.

Hi S,

thanks for your reply.

The default sail wiki procedure works fine up to the fact that the yum install complaints about dahdi-firmware dependencies.

It seems that dahdi firmware is not present in the repo. I would just need dahdi dummy in this setup. Is dahdi-firmware required?

TIA

the sark iso has asterisk, dahdi and the firmware in the build.  You can simply download the iso and mount it to grab the rpms or you can install it and work from that.  There are versions  available for asterisk 1.4, 1.6 and 1.8

1.4, 1.6 or 1.8 which one is better?
