/etc/xen directory

Place for configuration files to use as a template. The settings user may change include:

• root: The root device for the domain or the partition where the boot image is stored and can be logical volumes or disk image files.
  disk = [ ‘phy : /home/ananova/hostlvm, analvm,w’ ]
  analvm would appear as virtual machine having image hostlvm and with read/write access.
• kernel: The Kernel image path used by the virtual machine
  kernel = “/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.21.1”
• memory: Allowable memory for the domain to use
• disk: The block partitions domain can use
• dhcp: Enables domain to use DHCP to set networking
• hostname: The hostname of the virtual machine
• vif: The MAC address to use
• extra: Additional boot parameters
• restart: Automatic restart options: always, never, onreboot

xm create anavm xm console anavm OR xm create -c anavm

• xm list: Lists domains with detailed information such as domain ID, CPU time used, memory used and the domain state
• xm save
• xm restore
• xendomains: To restart and stop domains

Virtualization Benefits

• Run the different operating systems on a Linux system, as well as virtual versions of the kernel to test new applications.

More About Linux Virtualization

• gnome-applet-vm: GNOME VM applet to monitor virtual machines
• vibvirt tool kit for accessing Linux virtualization capabilities
• HVM System: It can provide full virtualization without specially modified versions of an OS Kernel. It allows users to run Windows XP directly from Linux.
• VMWare: It provides a free version & commercial virtualization server and virtualization desktop to install other OS and ESX virtualization server that is stable and efficient.
• Image: It is a pre-defined virtual machine from which numerous other virtual machines (Fedora, Ubuntu) could be generated.
• Software Emulator QEMU: It is used for processors without hardware virtualization support and runs guest OS by creating an image file qemu-img.

The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) today awarded a $4.35 million Advanced Transportation and Congestion Management Technologies Deployment (ATCMTD) grant to the Virginia Department of Transportation for its Artificial Intelligence (AI) Meets Integrated Corridor Management (ICM) project.

This year, the ATCMTD program awarded grants valued at $43.3 million to ten projects that use cutting-edge technologies to improve mobility and safety for America’s travellers.

U.S. Transportation Secretary Elaine L. Chao said: “This $43.3 million in federal funding will advance innovative technologies that will improve mobility and safety in America’s transportation network.”

The initiative will expand two project-level programs in northern Virginia. The first will deploy predictive parking availability information using AI. The second will develop a decision-support system, employing advanced machine-learning techniques and artificial intelligence to generate incident and congestion management responses based on real-time conditions.
FHWA’s ATCMTD program funds early deployments of forward-looking technologies that can serve as national models. This year, the grants will fund projects that use advanced real-time traveller information, vehicle communications technologies, artificial intelligence, regional approaches, and bicycle-pedestrian safety features.

Federal Highway Administrator Nicole R. Nason said: “The program selections this year aim to benefit communities across the country by improving safety and efficiency on our roads by deploying advanced technologies. Virginia’s project stands out in partnering with transportation agencies across the state to expand important artificial intelligence and integrated corridor management programs.”

The FHWA evaluated 33 applications requesting more than $139 million.
ATCMTD was established under the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act. State departments of transportation, local governments, transit agencies, metropolitan planning organizations, and other eligible entities are invited to apply. Now in its fourth year, the program has funded over 35 projects worth $207 million. Press Release: Tuesday, June 16, 2020 FHWA10I-20 Contact: Nancy Singer Tel.: (202) 366-0660
