Hi foulks! I have installed a new RHEL for virtualization purposes, so xen domain0 is running well as well as the hypervisor. However, I am having troubles creating a guest domain; because once I start my Virtual Machine Management and attempt to create a new guest domain, the new domain does not see any of the medias that the domai0 has (cdram, scsi disk partition etc...) Therefore, I am wondering how can actually export these divices so that the new domain can see them. Since the guest domain cannot see any of these defices, the installion process of any guest divice does not finish. I know there is probably something basic that I am missing, so please give me some ropes to hold. this whole environment is kind of new to me...

Hello, I''m very much a newbie to xen but I don''t believe that you can install from local media like that. You need to install from NFS/HTTP/FTP. I found that in this article: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraXenQuickstartFC6#head-a41b0863d68a48ee8c261adc18e7265b8355c33b Thanks, Tom augusto lopes wrote: Hi foulks!

Is that right? virt-manager is very good for installing RedHat-like guests - for instance, RHEL, CentOS, Fedora, etc. There are a number of possibilities for the install: Paravirtualised: - give virt-manager a network location from which the install may proceed; it''ll then launch a guest which will configure networking and then install from that location Fully virtualised: - give virt-manager a filessytem location for an ISO CDROM image file, which may be used as a virtual installation CD. - give virt-manager a device name for your real CDROM drive to install from physical media> Therefore, I am wondering how can actually export these divices so that the > new domain can see them.

THANK > YOU ALLHopefully the information above will be useful to you. If it''s not enough, we''ll need some more information from you including: * What tools you''re using (virt-manager or other, RHEL dom0 distro or other, etc) * What exactly you''ve done so far. * What happened (what output / error messages you saw, where things are stuck) Cheers, Mark -- Push Me Pull You - Distributed SCM tool (http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~maw48/pmpu/) _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
