I use a updated (last was today :) Fedora7 on a quadra core Server (Primergy rx300 s3) Trying XEN and it''s ''Virtual Machine Manager'' i meet with those problems.. ----------------------- Unable to complete install ''<class ''libvirt.libvirtError''> virDomainCreateLinux() failed POST-operation misslyckades: (xend.err ''Device 768 (vbd) could not be connected. /images/images/test_1_2003 does not exist.'')

'' ----------------------------- So i disable SElinux from <system administration> :) Guess what :)happens ah ha.. -------------------------------- Summary SELinux is preventing access to files with the label, file_t. Detailed Description SELinux permission checks on files labeled file_t are being denied. file_t is the context the SELinux kernel gives to files that do not have a label.This indicates a serious labeling problem. No files on an SELinux box should ever be labeled file_t. If you have just added a new disk drive to the system you can relabel it using the restorecon command. Otherwise you should relabel the entire files system. Allowing Access You can execute the following command as root to relabel your computer system: "touch /.autorelabel; reboot" Additional Information Source Context system_u:system_r:udev_t:SystemLow-SystemHigh Target Context root:object_r:file_t Target Objects /images/2003_sist [ file ] Affected RPM Packages coreutils-6.9-3.fc7 [application] Policy RPM selinux-policy-2.6.4-38.fc7 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted MLS Enabled True Enforcing Mode Permissive Plugin Name plugins.file Host Name localhost.localdomain Platform Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.20-2931.fc7xen #1 SMP Mon Aug 13 10:12:37 EDT 2007 i686 i686 Alert Count 1 First Seen tis 4 sep 2007 17.29.44 Last Seen tis 4 sep 2007 17.29.44 Local ID 804af117-e5d9-4304-a8bd-83f0a26bb4a1 Line Numbers Raw Audit Messages avc: denied { getattr } for comm="readlink" dev=sdb1 egid=0 euid=0 exe="/usr/bin/readlink" exit=0 fsgid=0 fsuid=0 gid=0 items=0 name="2003_sist" path="/images/2003_sist" pid=16317 scontext=system_u:system_r:udev_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 sgid=0 subj=system_u:system_r:udev_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 suid=0 tclass=file tcontext=root:object_r:file_t:s0 tty=(none) uid=0 ------------------------ And ---------------------- Summary SELinux is preventing /sbin/losetup (fsadm_t) "read write" to 2003_sist (file_t). Detailed Description SELinux denied /sbin/losetup access to 2003_sist. If this is a swapfile it has to have a file context label of swapfile_t. If you did not intend to use 2003_sist as a swapfile it probably indicates a bug, however it could also signal a intrusion attempt. Allowing Access You can alter the file context by executing chcon -t swapfile_t 2003_sist The following command will allow this access: chcon x-t swapfile_t 2003_sist Additional Information Source Context system_u:system_r:fsadm_t:SystemLow-SystemHigh Target Context root:object_r:file_t Target Objects 2003_sist [ file ] Affected RPM Packages util-linux-2.13-0.54.fc7 [application] Policy RPM selinux-policy-2.6.4-38.fc7 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted MLS Enabled True Enforcing Mode Permissive Plugin Name plugins.swapfile Host Name localhost.localdomain Platform Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.20-2931.fc7xen #1 SMP Mon Aug 13 10:12:37 EDT 2007 i686 i686 Alert Count 1 First Seen tis 4 sep 2007 17.29.45 Last Seen tis 4 sep 2007 17.29.45 Local ID db4d705b-dbc9-47b5-b99c-03d97a7c2a85 Line Numbers Raw Audit Messages avc: denied { read, write } for comm="losetup" dev=sdb1 egid=0 euid=0 exe="/sbin/losetup" exit=3 fsgid=0 fsuid=0 gid=0 items=0 name="2003_sist" pid=16450 scontext=system_u:system_r:fsadm_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 sgid=0 subj=system_u:system_r:fsadm_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 suid=0 tclass=file tcontext=root:object_r:file_t:s0 tty=(none) uid=0 -------------------------------------------------- Now, will i have to do this every time? ( executing chcon -t swapfile_''whatever_file'') Or should i use this? ---------------------------------- " The only way that this file would get created is if the system was booted with selinux=0 (or SELINUX=disabled in /etc/selinux/config). Or if you added a new disk to a machine that was not labeled via SELinux. " As it is a Server we are talking about i would prefere to leave SeLinux on. But as i''m gonna ''play'' with a lot of different OS and also using a net ??? ----------------------------------------------- So i tried to close down SeLinux and my firewall too ( unconnected though:) At my first try (two cpu: 1 Gig memory 10 Gig HD (as a file) i got to the beginning of a GUI (W 2003) then when 2003 tried to read in the graphical interface it hung. And when i created a totally new imagefile it wouldn''t start :) Here is the output from Virtual Machine Manager (XEN) -------------------------------- '' Kan inte slutföra (can''t finish ) installationen: ''virDomainCreateLinux() failed POST-operation (failed) misslyckades: (xend.err ''Device 0 (vif) could not be connected.

Hotplug scripts not working.'') -------------------------------------- Well :) Can''t say that i''m overjoyed (Hotplug scripts not working???), and yes, i did change the ''permissions'' on files globally via a rebot before trying anew?? Any one? btw: Gnome locked up after the last attempt and my screen too. Had to ''hard boot'' it at the end? Thought that with Xen embedded around the ''OS'' such things would be scarce? Also :) What am i missing here? Something more i should think of before trying? (like why i got this crazy idea :) Xen seems to have very specific ideas of how permissions should be depending on where they are. I thought that the beauty with a preinstalled Xen was that this was already taken care off? Is it me ''updating'' from Fedora (yum default) that have screwed it up. So i shouldn''t update at all??
