[Xen-users] Re: /usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm: invalidoption--''-vncconnect''
Hey Max, thanks a lot. You was right. I download the sources, and the VNC support work without problem. Really, thanks man.. I was trying the precompiled tarball for a week, with no results. I think that the precompiled binaries tarball for 64 bits, was done without vnc support. Is a mistake that someone need to fix it.

Asunto: RE: [Xen-users] Dell PowerEdge + XEN I download source and custom compile only so I can match the HW drivers. Dell''s are pretty picky when it comes to getting the drivers right. Also, you will need to make a custom initrd for the xen kernel. Make sure the modprobe.conf file is updated for the megaraid driver and when you run mkinitrd, specify the xen kernel literally. max -----Original Message----- From: Luis Raddatz L.

Download tarball and install ? Download the sources and compile the files ? Use yum install kernel-xen0 ?

Unfortunately I had to take that machine apart and don''t have XEN on it anymore, so I won''t be able to supply many details. I was able to start the VM''s with both VNC and SDL. SDL did not work very well, so I set VNC and did not autostart VNC viewer. I mostly connected to the VM using Remote Desktop installed by RedHat. Before VNC would work though, I had to get a VNC server running in dom0 first. I think the server creates some files necessary for a connection that the XEN startup does not create. After being able to VNC into localhost I was able to VNC into the VM. I had to disable USB ports on all my dell servers running linux because of IRQ contention. I also included ''noirqbalance'' as a kernel argument for dom0. For networking, I used brighe with the default settings and it worked. I needed to test a routing configuration without bridging and was able to make it work. I started xen with network-route and vif-route. To connect to the HVM domU''s I had to assign an IP address to the TUN interface created with the domU. The configuration files had no way of identifying which TUN interface goes with a domU so I had to assign the addresses manually. I ran WinXP as a workstation in a domU and everything worked perfectly except for my dual-monitors and I had no sound. Hope this helps...good luck.

I have some problems with my Dell PE2950 and I want to know your experience, with your virtualization. What OS are you using ? 32 or 64 bits ? I''m using RedHat 64 bits and I can''t use vnc option. Have you? Thanks Luis _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
