Yes I am.   I am kind of new to Xen so I am not sure if there is a console 
equivalent of the guest create gui.
 
Perhaps you could post your config file?
 
Regards,
Brent

Hi

are you doing this via X windows? The problem is we don't have the GUI enabled 
on the dom0 :(

Hi Ian, 

I am running the Netware version as a PV guest installed via  the Virt-Manager 
GUI. 

I haven't tried it as a HVM so I can't help much with that.

Hi,

Ive got the ISO (OES2-SP2a-i386-CD1.iso)

How are you guys installing it?  Ive created a HVM config file but as
soon as i do xm create the VNC window opens then immediately the domU
shuts down.

In the config file ive got the ISO mounted a cdrom

cheers

Hi all,

Sorry for the delay.

Im using Debian Lenny with the Debian package for Dom0. Ive not tried
the suggested URLs as yet, i couldn't get into the office today because
of the snow.

I didn't realise you couldn't setup netware straight from the CD as you
can with Windows etc.

Ill be trying this out on Monday hopefully, though netware is now dated
it would be good to free up some physical boxes and build a fresh
netware box on DomU.

Cheers

Ian

Ian,
What Linux distro are you using for dom0?  Novell has built SLES10 and
SLES11 with specific support for NetWare.  You should definitely be able
to get it to work with other dom0 distros and O/Ss, but you might start
there if this is a big concern for you.
