Hi, I need to do some p2v migration of a very old SuSE server. Unfortunately, the kernel of that machine doesn''t support running as xen domU, so I need to put the machine into a HVM domU. When I set up the domU with disk = [''phy:/dev/vg_guest/worker1_disk,sda1,w''] then the domU doesn''t boot because it says that no OS was found on the HDD. Of course I could set up the domU with disk = [''phy:/dev/vg_guest/worker1_disk,sda,w''] but then how can I access the individual partitions of the domU'...

I''m running Xen on RHEL5. I''ve got two problems with CD-ROMs. In my .hvm file, I''ve got the following line: disk = [ ''phy:/dev/VG_Guests/WinXP-001,ioemu:hda,w'', ''file:/opt/xen_stuff/winxp.iso,hdc:cdrom,w'', ''phy:/dev/scd0,hdd:cdrom,r'' ] The first CD-ROM, (the one linking to the file winxp.iso), appears to WinXP to be corrupted. I''m able to mount that iso in the main OS so I...

I''m using RHEL 5. One of the virtual machines I have running is a WinXP install. I start this up after I login to X. If I log out of X, the virtual WinXP is still running (that''s fine with me). However when I log back into X and start the Virtual Machine Manager, I am unable to open the machine. It normally says "Virtual Machine Console is unavailable." There does

Can I run 8/07 fully virtualised on an Intel VT CPU (with a Linux Dom0)? I gave up on 11/06 because of real mode problems. If not, does anyone have an estimate of when this might be possible, if at all? Thanks - Evan

Hi all, I am creating a CentOS 5.1 Paravirtualized guest On Xen 3.2.1 / Fedora 8 Dom0. I built DomU kernel from the Xen Linux 2.6.18.8 source. I also created an initrd image (I face some problems there as I had to manually copy some modules line xennet, ahci and libata). Anyway, I dounloaded the CentOS5.1 image from http://jailtime.org/ and copied it to a new partition. When I create the

This was working before the last "yum update" which I had not done in a couple of months(yeah I know I''m bad). I have a virtual WinXP instance running on a Linux box. They share the dvd drive with the following disk command in the .hvm file: disk = [ ''phy:/dev/VG_Guests/WinXP-001,ioemu:hda,w'', ''file:/opt/xen_stuff/winxp.iso,hdc:cdrom,w'', ''phy:/dev/scd0,hdd:cdrom,r'' ] When it was working, I''d put a disk in the DVD drive and it would automount on linux and WinXP would also see it. Now when I put a disk in th...

...he aacraid module. It has crashed three times so far. This goes along with having created a second logical volume on the raid controller (still undergoing auto-sync) which has two LVM volumes on it in a LVM volume group. One of the LVM volumes is made available to a domU: disk = ['phy:/dev/vg_guests/lv_jupiter,xvda,w', 'phy:/dev/vg_mydata/lv_DATA,xvdb,w'] It didn't crash before adding the second volume. I can't have this server crashing all the time --- what can I do? Is there a more recent kernel which might work better? -- Knowledge is volatile and fluid. Softwar...

v2 was here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-June/msg00008.html This series gets as far as a working (and faster) reimplementation of ‘guestfs_list_filesystems’. I also have another patch series on top of this one which reimplements the inspection APIs inside the daemon, but that needs a bit more work still, since inspection turns out to be a very large piece of code.
