This is to request help installing a DomU guest on Xen 3.1, upgraded from 3.0.3 on CentOS 5.1. After struggling for a week, the most success I have had is with virt-install script for installing DomU guest clientdom. Here’s a capture of the virt-install session:

#

#virt-install

Would you like a fully virtualized guest (yes or no)?  This will allow you to run unmodified operating systems. yes

 What is the name of your virtual machine? clientdom

 How much RAM should be allocated (in megabytes)? 256

 What would you like to use as the disk (path)? /xen/clientdom.img

 How large would you like the disk (/xen/clientdom.img) to be (in gigabytes)? 20

 Would you like to enable graphics support? (yes or no) no

 What is the virtual CD image, CD device or install location? /dev/scd0

 Starting install...

Creating storage file...  100% |=========================|  20 GB    00:00    

Creating domain...                                                 0 B 00:00

Domain installation still in progress.  You can reconnect

to the console to complete the installation process.

#

 

After the above, “xm console clientdom” generates:

#

xenconsole: Could not read tty from store: No such file or directory

#

error.

 

Using virsh generates similar error:

#

#virsh connect clientdom

libvir: error : no support for hypervisor

error: Failed to connect to the hypervisor

#

At this both host and guest OS appear in “xm list” and “xm top”, but can’t successfully connect to hypervisor or guest console. The disk file /xen/clientdom.img is created with 20 GB. The following network interfaces are created, but no IP addresses assigned:

I have tried almost an infinite combination of parameters to feed virt-install, just not the correct ones.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Hamid.
