Hi all i followed this link to install windows under xen http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2006-06/msg00599.html my xen file is as follows: kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader" builder=''hvm'' memory = 1024 name = "winxp" vcpus=1 cpus = "" vif = [ ''type=ioemu, bridge=xenbr0'' ] disk = [ ''file:/root/xenimages/WS128.img,ioemu:hda,w'' ] device_model = ''/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm'' cdrom=''/tmp/en_windows_server_2003_standard.iso'' boot=''d'' sdl=0 vnc=1 vncviewer=0 stdvga=0 serial=''pty'' ne2000=0 and when i do # xm create -c /etc/xen/winxp it gives message as Using config file "/etc/xen/winxp". Started domain winxp but when i type % vncviewer 172.17.217.155:1 to vien its console so that i can complete the installation . i am not able to connect to the host using the command and even by using windows agent(vncviewer). am i missing something? or do i need to start something to view live vncserver. i also tried starting vncserver but when after starting vncserver. if i run vncviewer 172.17.217.115:1 then i am able to connect server but not able to see the installation window to . kindly let me know what to do. and is there any way i can see the installation on the same machine without using any vnc or any other vnc agent. thanks _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
Try 172.17.217.115 or <http://172.17.217.115:1>172.17.217.115:0 - I think the first Windows client is on port 5900 (or :0 suffix in VNS), the second in 5901 (or :1) etcetera. <http://172.17.217.115:1> Hope this helps, John Arpan Jindal wrote:> Hi all > > i followed this link to install windows under xen > http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2006-06/msg00599.html > > my xen file is as follows: > kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader" > builder=''hvm'' > memory = 1024 > name = "winxp" > vcpus=1 > cpus = "" > vif = [ ''type=ioemu, bridge=xenbr0'' ] > disk = [ ''file:/root/xenimages/WS128.img,ioemu:hda,w'' ] > device_model = ''/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm'' > cdrom=''/tmp/en_windows_server_2003_standard.iso'' > boot=''d'' > sdl=0 > vnc=1 > vncviewer=0 > stdvga=0 > serial=''pty'' > ne2000=0 > > > and when i do > > # xm create -c /etc/xen/winxp > > it gives message as > > Using config file "/etc/xen/winxp". > Started domain winxp > > but when i type > % vncviewer 172.17.217.155:1 <http://172.17.217.155:1> > > to vien its console so that i can complete the installation . > i am not able to connect to the host using the command and even by > using windows agent(vncviewer). > > am i missing something? > or do i need to start something to view live vncserver. > i also tried starting vncserver but when after starting vncserver. > if i run vncviewer 172.17.217.115:1 <http://172.17.217.115:1> then i > am able to connect server but not able to see the installation window to . > > kindly let me know what to do. > > and is there any way i can see the installation on the same machine > without using any vnc or any other vnc agent. > > thanks > > > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > _______________________________________________ > Xen-users mailing list > Xen-users@lists.xensource.com > http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users_______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Hi All
thanks for support by changing disk entry to:
disk = [
''file:/root/xenimages/WS128.img,ioemu:hda,w'',
''file:/tmp/en_windows_server_2003_standard.iso,ioemu:hdc:cdrom,r''
]
make it working but i have not tried the other one.
thanks

Use ''dd'' instead, when the partitions in question are not in use by vms: dd if=/dev/hda3 of=/dev/hda6 Then you can use ''rsync'' for synchronizations after that, if desired. Make sure the hostname, etc. have been changed from within the new guest. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

When I''ve done this sort of thing, I''ve needed to use kpartx. At any rate, you will need a boot block, so copy the first 512 bytes from /dev/hda3 to /dev/hda6. (dd bs=512 count=1 if=/dev/hda3 of=/dev/hda6) If your hda3 and hda6 are exactly the same size (or hda6 is slightly bigger) you could just dd the entire partition.
