JC,
Take a look at your /dev/loop files: I am copying the text below from
our intranet (found it from various sources on the internet though):
"Error: Device 769 (vbd) could not be connected. Backend device not
found.
This is caused by a insufficient number of loop devices.
Try: ls -l /dev/loop* and see what it does. I have seen occasions where
there's only a /dev/loop/0 for some reason:
john@pr01:~$ ls -l /dev/loop*
brw------- 1 root root 7, 0 2006-12-29 00:07 0
However on our production hosts, we create many more loop devices:
remoteadmin@vs01:~$ ls -l /dev/loop<tab>
Display all 128 possibilities? (y or n)
n
If you have the loop driver compiled into your kernel, you need to add
max_loop=64 (or whatever number of loop devices you wish to use for Xen)
to your kernel boot arguments (the append= line in
lilo.conf, or to the end of the kernel line in grubs menu.lst), and
reboot.
If you have the loop driver compiled as a module, you need to insmod it
with max_loop=64 added to its options. On Debian systems, you edit
/etc/modules.conf and add options loop max_loop=64, and rmmod loop
modprobe loop.
If youre using devfs, then stop here. The new /dev/loop* will appear
automatically. If not, youll need to edit and run MAKEDEV: Change:
loop)
for part in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
do
makedev loop$part b 7 $part $disk
done
;;
To:
loop)
for part in `seq 0 63`
do
makedev loop$part b 7 $part $disk
done
;;
And run MAKEDEV loop. This is only necessary if you need more than 8
guests by the way.
Xen can work really well but it takes some time to learn what the ~5-10
most common error messages mean that you can expect. We have them all on our
intranet - typically the messages are quite .. cryptic .. so to say :-)
