Hi there,
i have a xen machine with gentoo as dom0 system.
Cpu is an amd x2 3800+ <- this is hvm compatible.
In my bios there is no info about hvm or smth I must
enable to get hvm working.
I want to install winxp so I use following script:
# -*- mode: python; -*-
#============================================================================
# Python configuration setup for 'xm create'.
# This script sets the parameters used when a domain
is created using 'xm create'.
# You use a separate script for each domain you want
to create, or
# you can set the parameters for the domain on the xm
command line.
#============================================================================
import os, re
arch = os.uname()[4]
if re.search('64', arch):
arch_libdir = 'lib64'
else:
arch_libdir = 'lib'
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Kernel image file.
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
# The domain build function. HVM domain uses 'hvm'.
builder='hvm'
# Initial memory allocation (in megabytes) for the
new domain.
memory = 384
# A name for your domain. All domains must have
different names.
name = "ExampleHVMDomain"
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# the number of cpus guest platform has, default=1
#vcpus=1
# enable/disable HVM guest PAE, default=0 (disabled)
#pae=0
# enable/disable HVM guest ACPI, default=0 (disabled)
#acpi=0
# enable/disable HVM guest APIC, default=0 (disabled)
#apic=0
# List of which CPUS this domain is allowed to use,
default Xen picks
#cpus = "" # leave to Xen to pick
#cpus = "0" # all vcpus run on CPU0
#cpus = "0-3,5,^1" # run on cpus 0,2,3,5
# Optionally define mac and/or bridge for the network
interfaces.
# Random MACs are assigned if not given.
#vif = [ 'type=ioemu, mac=00:16:3e:00:00:11, bridge=xenbr0'
]
# type=ioemu specify the NIC is an ioemu device not
netfront
vif = [ 'type=ioemu, bridge=xenbr0' ]
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Define the disk devices you want the domain to have
access to, and
# what you want them accessible as.
# Each disk entry is of the form phy:UNAME,DEV,MODE
# where UNAME is the device, DEV is the device name
the domain will see,
# and MODE is r for read-only, w for read-write.
#disk = [ 'phy:hda1,hda1,r' ]
disk = [ 'file:/xen/xp/xpdisk.img,ioemu:hda,w'
]
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Configure the behaviour when a domain exits. There
are three 'reasons'
# for a domain to stop: poweroff, reboot, and crash.
For each of these you
# may specify:
#
# "destroy", meaning that the
domain is cleaned up as normal;
# "restart", meaning that a new
domain is started in place of the old
# one;
# "preserve", meaning that no
clean-up is done until the domain is
# manually destroyed (using xm
destroy, for example); or
# "rename-restart", meaning that the old
domain is not cleaned up, but is
# renamed and a new domain
started in its place.
#
# The default is
#
#
# on_reboot = 'restart'
# on_crash = 'restart'
#
# For backwards compatibility we also support the
deprecated option restart
#
# restart = 'onreboot' means
# on_reboot = 'restart'
# on_crash = 'destroy'
#
# restart = 'always' means
# on_reboot = 'restart'
# on_crash = 'restart'
#
# restart = 'never' means
# on_reboot = 'destroy'
# on_crash = 'destroy'
on_reboot = 'destroy'
on_crash = 'destroy'
#============================================================================
# New stuff
device_model = '/usr/' + arch_libdir +
'/xen/bin/qemu-dm'
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Disk image for
cdrom='/dev/cdroms/cdrom0'
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# boot on floppy (a), hard disk (c) or CD-ROM (d)
boot='d'
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# write to temporary files instead of disk image
files
#snapshot=1
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# enable SDL library for graphics, default = 0
sdl=1
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# enable VNC library for graphics, default = 1
vnc=0
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# enable spawning vncviewer(only valid when vnc=1),
default = 1
vncviewer=0
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# no graphics, use serial port
#nographic=0
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# enable stdvga, default = 0 (use cirrus logic device
model)
stdvga=0
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# serial port re-direct to pty deivce, /dev/pts/n
# then xm console or minicom can connect
serial='pty'
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# enable ne2000, default = 0(use pcnet)
ne2000=0
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# enable audio support
#audio=1
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# set the real time clock to local time [default=0
i.e. set to utc]
#localtime=1
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# start in full screen
#full-screen=1
And now when I call following cmd I get this error:
XEN ~ # xm create /xen/xp/xp_cd.cfg
Using config file "/xen/xp/xp_cd.cfg".
Error: Not an HVM capable platform, we stop creating!
I don’t know how to fix that … any ideas?
Thanks in advance! Jürgen
Mit
freundlichen Grüßen
