Re: [Xen-users] running windows on xen

["Arpan Jindal" <jindalarpan@xxxxxxxxx>]

hi all 

i have am able to install windows on
xen. 
but i need to run 3-4 same virtual machines
of same time.
for the same i am following this process.

for  first windows machine configuration
file  /etc/xen/winxp as bellow:

kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
builder='hvm'
memory = 1024
name = "winxp"
vcpus=1
pae=0
acpi=0
apic=0
cpus = ""
vif = [ 'type=ioemu, bridge=xenbr0'
]
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/hda3,ioemu:hda,w'
]

>
on_reboot   = 'restart'
on_crash    = 'destroy'
device_model = '/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm'
sdl=0
vnc=1
vncviewer=0
stdvga=0
serial='pty'
ne2000=0
usb=1
usbdevice='tablet'

with the help of above configuration i am able to run windows.
for if do

mount /dev/hda3 /a
mount /dev/hda6 /a2
rsync -av /a  /a2

then change the configuration file to /etc/xen/winxp2

kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
builder='hvm'
memory = 1024
name = "winxp2"
vcpus=1
pae=0
acpi=0
apic=0
cpus = ""
vif = [ 'type=ioemu, bridge=xenbr0' ]
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/hda6,ioemu:hda,w' ]
>
on_reboot   = 'restart'
on_crash    = 'destroy'
device_model = '/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm'
sdl=0
vnc=1
vncviewer=0
stdvga=0
serial='pty'
ne2000=0
usb=1
usbdevice='tablet'

then i do
xm create /etc/xen/winxp2 -c

i  am getting error as

boot from hard disk 0 failed
FATAL: not a bootable disk

seems like rsync is not woking or i m doing something wrongly, is there any way make multiple coples of windows system. without each time installing it

thanks

Hi All

thanks for support by changing disk entry to:

 

disk = [
       'file:/root/xenimages/WS128.img,ioemu:hda,w',
       'file:/tmp/en_windows_server_2003_standard.iso,ioemu:hdc:cdrom,r'
       ]

Yepp, I don't know if this is possible for compatibility reasons or if
xvda provides another (better?) emulation layer, but indeed, it works.
