[Xen-users] XCP: VM installation in XCP 0.5 is behaving strangely
Hi, all I''m totally new to XCP, so maybe i misunderstood the documentation. I tried to create Debian Squeeze (64-bit) and Ubuntu 10.04 from templates and install them from network installation. For Debian Squeeze (64-bit), I did the followings: 1. First ssh login into XCP host 2. xe vm-install template="Debian Squeeze (64-bit)" new-name-label=lenny-64-netinstall Get the UUID from the output 3. xe vm-param-set uuid=UUID other-config:install-repository=http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ Set the repository as debian US mirror 4. xe vm-start uuid=UUID Then the ssh terminal start to freeze there and it will never prompt anything as documentation said "install step by step". I doubted if the installation can only be done in the physical host, so I tried to do this in the physical host. But the same thing happened. After sometime freezing, the prompt returned and gave me nothing. While I run xe vm-list, the vm''s status shows running. I''m totally frustrated. I don''t what I''ve missed since I just followed the manual and saw no error log output. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

You forgot to create vif for virtual machine (not network interface, no network boot).

Re: [Xen-users] XCP: VM installation in XCP 0.5 is behaving strangely
Ops, I think the network is set up automatically. Now I''ve already set up the vif for the virtual machine and when I start the vm, it just behaves the same I think I misunderstand something. after xe vm-start uuid=UUID the command return with nothing. Should I use something like openxencenter to connect the console to continue installing? I list the vm status, it seems it''s running. But in Mac OS X, I can''t manage to install the openxencenter for now. I hope I can ssh or telnet the virtual machine. Is there other way to access the console without openxencenter?

Re: [Xen-users] XCP: VM installation in XCP 0.5 is behaving strangely
IMHO if all you need is console access xvp (xvpsource.com) is a better (more stable option). You could start with xvpappliance.

Re: [Xen-users] XCP: VM installation in XCP 0.5 is behaving strangely
Yep, I think I need an application to access consoles. I just tried the web interface embedded in XCP 0.5, it seems works for other management functionalities. But when I click the vm''s console, it always shows me a blank screen that I have nowhere to do anything. for xvp, I''m a little bit frustrated that it''s for linux only (or 64 bits linux). Currently I have a macbook pro, T61p and an old dell laptop which is 32 bit only. I''m trying to install the xvp in the 32 bit Dell laptop since T61p is an XCP host. Even I import the xvpappliance into the XCP host and run it, I still can''t access the xvpappliance console lol. It seems like I can use some RFB client to connect these consoles, am I right? I''m now still investigating how to solve the problem. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks a lot.

Re: [Xen-users] XCP: how to connect to VNC term of new VM (was: VM installation in XCP 0.5 is behaving strangely)
Yes, if vm-start return nothing in reasonable time it sign that all ok (if not ok it will start to say something like ''pygrub no bootable disk found", etc). There is three different way to continue system setup. First: create preseed/kickstart file. Hard to make from scratches and postinstall debug. Second: Access to VNC console via openxencenter. It really not very good from my point of view, because not working (last time I test it few month ago) with slave hosts. Third: my favorite. Create SSH tunnel to localhost: ssh -L 5901:127.0.0.1:5901 -L 5902:127.0.0.1:5092 ... -L 5999:127.0.0.1:5999 root@your-xen-host. (this command must be run as root). After that you can connect to vncterm, listening on localhost on XCP host. You can found requied VNC port from xenstore: xe vm-list uuid=vmuuid params=dom-id (here you got domID for VM) xenstore-ls /local/domain/<DOMIDFROMLINEABOVE>/serial/0 (f.e. 5904) ... and connect to those port via xvncviewer from your own linux desktop (you are using linux at you desktop, isn''t it?): xvncviewer localhost:5904 (or other port from xenstore-ls). Note: every time VM migrating, restarting or stop/starting you must refound again port number.

Re: [Xen-users] XCP: how to connect to VNC term of new VM (was: VM installation in XCP 0.5 is behaving strangely)
Thank you very much. I''m using the third( your favorite) to work on now :-) I think maybe later on some documents should be added in the wiki if there is nothing about now for newbies like me. ( I think I can do it if needed) BTW: I''m using Mac OSX and it integrates the vnc already.

Re: [Xen-users] XCP: VM installation in XCP 0.5 is behaving strangely
At http://www.xvpsource.org/?topic=build&page=appliancevm there are detailed information of how to set up xvpappliance first, without having access to any graphical RFB client. Also if you choose to tunnel the graphical consoles over https I recommend to read the ssl certs related parts of the troubleshooting guide at: http://www.xvpsource.org/?topic=configure&page=trouble Good Luck!
