Hi all,
I'm creating a fairy simple paravirt machine under RHEL 5 (Xen 3.0.3,
pygrub 0.6).
A machine gets created but I see two problems:
1. no graphics console gets enabled (so RedHat VMM does not open it)
so I cannot connect to it with vncviewer (am I naive to use vfb fpr a
paravirt domU? - libvirt uses it, right?);
2. when I check what config has been used to create the domain (in
/var/log/xen/xend.log) I see arguments ("args" or "extra") picked up
from a virtual machine created a while age, my present "extra"
parameter is ignored.
I did regenerate xenstored/tdb and rebooted, still those args appear,
drives my nuts :-).
I'm actually after the graphics console, but I think both problems are related.
Could anybody advise why I get no proper vfb setup (I'd expect a
vnc-port vaue appearing in the xen store when it setup properly) and
why I get those old args?
Thanks in advance,
Deem
P.S.
xm config
