[Ciaran Kendellen <ciaran@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

Having installed 2x XCP hosts and added them to a resource pool, configured 
shared storage and generally got ready for operations, I'm currently 
struggling to see anything meaningful of my VM's!!!

I started installing centos form template, but couldn't connect to the 
instance that (successfully) created to complete installation, so, on the 
suggestion of a user here, I've imported the xvp appliance, but can't connect 
to the console to complete the config.

I'm getting :

xenconsole: could not read tty from store: no such file or directory

Now, a cursory google of the above message generally seems to tell me 
xenconsoled is not running, but I've tried running it again, and verified its 
running by :

[root@xen01 ~]# ps ax | grep xenconsoled
 6448 ?        Sl     0:00 /usr/sbin/xenconsoled

But still no joy!

Anybody got any ideas on what I should try next? I've checked what I've found 
to be the usual suspects and just can not make my way past this first vital 
step, so I can actually connect to the VMs I create and can complete 
installations etc.

If it helps, the params of the appliance I'm trying to connect to follows. 

Many thanks!

Ciaran.
