Hi,
I am trying to accomplish the following:
- The hardware is a recent HP workstation xw6400 with a dual core Xeon
processor. HVM is enabled in bios. 2Gb Ram available.
- Dom0 is Centos 5, x86 (on xen 3.0.3 with redhat's modifications)
- I would like to migrate a Qemu Windows XP installation to a xen hvm
I figured this should not be too hard, because full virtualisation uses the
same (or allmost the same?) device model as qemu and under qemu, my Windows
XP installation is working fine.
I have created a config file (see below), and started the guest domain with
xm create /etc/xen/WinXP.hvm
xm then tells me that the domain was started succesfully, and xm list does
show it:
[root@localhost ~]# xm list
Name ID Mem(MiB) VCPUs State Time(s)
Domain-0 0 1488 2 r----- 185.5
WindowsXP 6 517 1 ------ 0.0
However, I can't find a way to connect to it via vnc. I tried
vncviewer localhost:10
But this returns immediatly with
VNC Viewer Free Edition 4.1.2 for X - built Mar 14 2007 22:51:02

main: unable to connect to host: Connection refused (111)
What is happening here ?
Below is my Guest domain's config. I have set the options to match the
original qemu config as close as possible.
