Re: [Xen-users] problem with xen cloud installation on a shared storage

Looks like you're running XCP 0.1.0? Definitely should upgrade to 0.1.1.


In my debian-lenny folder, I'm showing 4 2.6.30 kernels, do you have those?

Oke i installed the tools and now atleast the system still boots :P

I do get the following message while installing:

/
debian-lenny:/usr/src/xs-tools-0.1.0/Linux# ./install.sh

I press Y but i think there is still something missing now, i can't do
the live migration:

/[root@node1 iso]# xe vm-migrate vm=lenny-test host=xenserver-kkevwpvj
--live/
/You attempted an operation on a VM which requires PV drivers to be
installed but the drivers were not detected./
/vm: ac42865b-2088-c6b5-b147-d1cd8e599f3e (lenny-test)/
/[root@node1 iso]# /

Could you tell me how you fixed this :-)? i've installed the kernel
headers, and created a symlink from ./debian-lenny to that kernel source
but that doesn't seem the solution.

Thanks,
Peter

    Hi Vern,

    Thanks alot for your input, i'll create a new Debian vm and unpack
    everything on my NFS server :), that sounds like a good solution
    anyways :-). I just tabbed till i found some commando's pressed
    enter and it seemd to work :P, not knowing that it will destroy my
    vm later on :-).

    I'll try it again your way, thanks!

        I've never been able to get the xvdd method to work. If I
        remember the manual correctly, you shouldn't be adding the iso
        that way anyways, the tools iso is "supposed" to show up
        automagically as /dev/xvdd in the VM (virtual machine
        installation guide, page 27, installing the Linux guest agent).

        What I did was to unpack the iso on a share on my NFS server and
        mount the share from the VM to do the installation.

            Thanks that was it :-)!

            Oke now it works, it was installed, and i wanted to try live
            migration..
            so i added the xen-tools iso to the vm with the following
            command:
            /[root@node1 ~]# xe vm-cd-add cd-name=xs-tools.iso vm=lenny-test
            device=xvdd/

            After that, i mounted the iso, in /mnt and i could run the
            installer,
            after the installer i got a message i should reboot.. so i
            did.. and now
            i get the following message trying to start my vm ->

            /[root@node1 ~]# xe vm-start vm=lenny-test
            on=16cae97a-e00d-469d-afc8-e1764c499b42/
            /The bootloader returned an error/
            /vm: 4f0a9956-5cbd-6315-0fc7-89c1b2252370 (lenny-test)/
            /msg: Error from bootloader: too many bootable disks (2 disks)/
            /[root@node1 ~]# /

            any pointers :-)?

            Thanks,
            Peter

                Make sure the VM is running on the pool master, not one

            where I
                can't make a console connection to a VM if it's running
            from a
                slave, blank window and the java app nev er starts.

                Temporary fix for this is to make sure the VM starts for
            the first
                time on the pool master with vm-start on=(pool master
            host uuid).
