[Xen-users] Trying to compose my first Xen config file from documentatio
Okay so I am running RHEL5 with the Xen-Kernel already compiled in.
[root@laptop centos]# uname -a
Linux laptop.hom 2.6.18-128.el5xen #1 SMP Wed Dec 17 12:22:24 EST 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
I am trying to follow the documentation found at (pg 23 out of 110) to create a domU from a config file:
http://bits.xensource.com/Xen/docs/user.pdf
I have two specific questions at the moment. First let me post my python config file:
# -*- mode: python; -*-
#============================================================================
# Python setup script for 'xm create'. Can create multiple domains with
#
# xm create -c xm.conf vmid=1
# xm create -c xm.conf vmid=2
# xm create -c xm.conf vmid=3
#
# The vmid is purely a script variable, and has no effect on the the domain
# id assigned to the new domain.
#============================================================================
# xm_varsefined automatically, use xm_vars.var() to define a variable.
# This function checks that 'vmid' has been given a valid value.
# It is called automatically by 'xm create'.
def vmid_check(var, val):
val = int(val)
if val <= 0:
raise ValueError
return val
# Define the 'vmid' variable so that 'xm create' knows about it.
xm_vars.var('vmid', use="Virtual machine id. Integer greater than 0.", check=vmid_check)
# Check the defined variables have valid values..
xm_vars.check()
# This is the path to the Xen Kernel used by the hypervisor (host OS)
kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-128.el5xen"
# This is the amount of virtual memory the domU will use (memory > 32mb)
memory = 64
# A name for the new domain. All domains have to have different names,
# so we use the vmid to create a name.
name = "VM%d" % vmid
# Define network interfaces.
vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3e:00:00:11, bridge=xenbr0' ]
# Define the disk devices you want the domain to have access to, and
# r for read-only, w for read-write.
disk = [ 'phy:hda2,hda2,w' ]
#create a root partition
root = "/dev/hda2 ro"
# Set if you want dhcp to allocate the IP address.
dhcp="dhcp"
# "destroy", meaning that the domain is cleaned up as normal;
# "restart", meaning that a new domain is started in place of the old
# one;
>on_reboot = 'restart'
on_crash = 'restart'
I am not too sure on what to specify for the hard drive variable, I only have one drive on my test computer at the moment and it is broken down into a LVM and the /boot partition on a single drive. Do I have to split the LVM up? Here is the output from df command.
[root@laptop centos]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
140G 2.7G 130G 3% /
/dev/hda1 99M 13M 81M 14% /boot
tmpfs 1.3G 0 1.3G 0% /dev/shm
192.168.1.1:/mnt/Internal_Storage/geogadmin_files
917G 12G 860G 2% /mnt/nfs
none 1.3G 56K 1.3G 1% /var/lib/xenstored
When I use the xm -create command I get the following error at the bottom (in red). I am assuming this is related to the drive variable. Please help me understand.
[root@laptop centos]# xm create -c xm.conf vmid=1
Using config file "./xm.conf".
