Hi: I apologize in advance if this is the wrong forum for these questions. I found the mailing lists a bit confusing. I have successfully installed XCP 0.5 on two server machines using PXE/TFTP. They are up and running and I can log into them individually. Unfortunately, I am now stuck. I would like to be able to control them remotely using either the CLI (xe?) or a graphical UI from my PXE/TFTP server machine (running CentOS 5.5 64b). What packages do I need to download and install on CentOS? My goal is to be able to provision VMs and those machines and migrate them. Also, I found a couple of minor problems in the installation manual in the PXE/TFTP and would like to forward them to interested parties. How do I do that? Thanks, Joe _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Hi Pasi: Thank you for your quick reply. How do I "yum install" xe on my CentOS 5.5. system? I could not find out where the package lives.

Joe, The rpm should have been available from the website, but it looks like it got removed some time ago.

Hi Mike:
Thank you for the link. I have downloaded and installed it. Unfortunately I am
having another problem with PXE boot setup but that is another thread.
There were two problems in the installation guide that caused me problems
initially:
1. The answer file statement:
<admin-interface name="eth0" proto="dhcp" />
Did not work. It caused an HTTP Error 504 during the configuration process.
Changing it to:
<admin-interface name="eth0" proto="dhcp"></
admin-interface>
Fixed it.
2. The absolute paths in the pxlinux.cfg/default file did not work for me.
I kept getting file not found errors on the host. When I made them relative,
it worked:
DEFAULT xenserver
LABEL xenserver
KERNEL mboot.c32
APPEND xenserver/xen.gz dom0_mem=752M com1=115200,8n1 console=com1,tty
--- xenserver/vmlinuz xencons=hvc console=hvc0 console=tty0
answerfile=http://10.45.2.1/tcc/xenserver/answerfile install ---
xenserver/install.img
I am keeping complete notes of my experience. When it works, I will clean them
and send them over, if that would be helpful.
Cheers,
Joe
