Re: [Xen-users] Installing with iso

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.

        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

                            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> <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.


            Lance

    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

Hi Ananth,

I know a few people at rPath.

I will ask them.
