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

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 of the
   slaves. I just flagged a possible XCP bug to Dave Scott 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).
