Re: [Xen-users] Installing with iso

[Ananth <cbananth@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
May be we could write to rpath regarding this and ask for more help. I tried creating the same using my own config file, which does not use the pygrub. I have specified the domU kernel from my system, and I have not used the blktap driver. Instead I have pointed to the image using the file:// context. When I create the guest domain, it says error reading the filesystem and tells me to run fsck. I am unable to attach my config file right now as . I shall do that tomorrow from my lab. You can try if you are able to make progress using that.

Regards
Ananth

Hi Lance,
I have been pretty much following the link to rpath Wiki for installing
guest domain, especially the network monitoring system which the wiki
page points you to. I have been facing error while I create guest using
the procedure given. I am facing the error that says pygrub did not
return any value.Please try it and let me know if you are able to
successfully create the guest domain.

Thank you

Regards
Ananth

                   Hi,

                   I am running the latest xen package on Debian Lenny
                   and I want to
                   install a Linux vm with an ISO image.

                   How best do I make this happen.

                   I have not been able to get virt-manager to connect
                   to the xen
                   instance on my server from my Laptop.

                   I would really appreciate the help

                   Thanks

                   Lance


               Hello Lance,

               The easiest way I have found is to loop mount the iso
               then expose it on
               my webserver. I then use virt-manager to connect and
               install with http.
               That way I am able to install in paravirtual mode rather
               than HVM.

               You can also do the exact same thing from the command
               line using ssh
               from your laptop, look at the virt-install man page. I
               would tcpdump on
               your laptop and server to see why you are unable to connect.

               Hope that helps,

               Jon

           Hi again,

           Is it possible for a person to run a downloaded raw file
           system in a
           xen environment?

           I have downloaded a vm from the rpath.org <http://rpath.org>

           site and want to run the vm
           on my xen system. It is a running file system that just
           needs to be
           booted.

           I have manually created config files on my kvm qemu system
           to run this
           in the past. does xen have config files I could copy and use?

           I apologies for the newbie questions.

           Thanks

           Lance


       I have never used rpath images but a quick look on their site I
       found
       the link below. The first link about using a domU created by
       rpath or
       rmake and how to install it on a xen system might give you an idea.

   Hi Jon,

   I must be blind. I looked on their site and did not find that one.

   Thanks again.

Hi Ananth,

I get the same error when I run xm create. I wonder if pygrub needs more that the documenation is telling us.

Regards

Lance
