Hi, I need to do some p2v migration of a very old SuSE server. Unfortunately, the kernel of that machine doesn''t support running as xen domU, so I need to put the machine into a HVM domU. When I set up the domU with disk = [''phy:/dev/vg_guest/worker1_disk,sda1,w''] then the domU doesn''t boot because it says that no OS was found on the HDD. Of course I

I''m running Xen on RHEL5. I''ve got two problems with CD-ROMs. In my .hvm file, I''ve got the following line: disk = [ ''phy:/dev/VG_Guests/WinXP-001,ioemu:hda,w'', ''file:/opt/xen_stuff/winxp.iso,hdc:cdrom,w'', ''phy:/dev/scd0,hdd:cdrom,r'' ] The first CD-ROM, (the one linking to the file winxp.iso), appears to WinXP to be corrupted. I''m able to mount that iso in the main OS so I'...

Hi- Is it safe to use the zerofree utility on an ext4 partition inside an LVM with guestfish? I know zerofree works on ext4, but I am unsure about LVM. The info page uses the syntax "zerofree <device>", so using the info page example, could I (safely) do something like the following? $ guestfish Welcome to guestfish, the libguestfs filesystem interactive shell for

I''m using RHEL 5. One of the virtual machines I have running is a WinXP install. I start this up after I login to X. If I log out of X, the virtual WinXP is still running (that''s fine with me). However when I log back into X and start the Virtual Machine Manager, I am unable to open the machine. It normally says "Virtual Machine Console is unavailable." There does

Move the list_filesystems API into the daemon, reimplementing it in OCaml. Since this API makes many other API calls, it runs a lot faster in the daemon. --- daemon/Makefile.am | 2 + daemon/ldm.ml | 3 + daemon/ldm.mli | 2 + daemon/listfs.ml | 156 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ daemon/listfs.mli | 19 ++++ daemon/lvm.ml | 3 +

Can I run 8/07 fully virtualised on an Intel VT CPU (with a Linux Dom0)? I gave up on 11/06 because of real mode problems. If not, does anyone have an estimate of when this might be possible, if at all? Thanks - Evan

Hi all, I am creating a CentOS 5.1 Paravirtualized guest On Xen 3.2.1 / Fedora 8 Dom0. I built DomU kernel from the Xen Linux 2.6.18.8 source. I also created an initrd image (I face some problems there as I had to manually copy some modules line xennet, ahci and libata). Anyway, I dounloaded the CentOS5.1 image from http://jailtime.org/ and copied it to a new partition. When I create the

This was working before the last "yum update" which I had not done in a couple of months(yeah I know I''m bad). I have a virtual WinXP instance running on a Linux box. They share the dvd drive with the following disk command in the .hvm file: disk = [ ''phy:/dev/VG_Guests/WinXP-001,ioemu:hda,w'', ''file:/opt/xen_stuff/winxp.iso,hdc:cdrom,w'', ''phy:/dev/scd0,hdd:cdrom,r'' ] When it was working, I''d put a disk in the DVD drive and it would automount on linux and WinXP would also see it. Now when I put a disk in the...

...he aacraid module. It has crashed three times so far. This goes along with having created a second logical volume on the raid controller (still undergoing auto-sync) which has two LVM volumes on it in a LVM volume group. One of the LVM volumes is made available to a domU: disk = ['phy:/dev/vg_guests/lv_jupiter,xvda,w', 'phy:/dev/vg_mydata/lv_DATA,xvdb,w'] It didn't crash before adding the second volume. I can't have this server crashing all the time --- what can I do? Is there a more recent kernel which might work better? -- Knowledge is volatile and fluid. Software...

hi folks, after long trying i need some help from the big world :-) question ******** when I boot a guest system, tried debian 6.0.2 amd64 firmware, I get errors like: 1) after click install on debian 6.0.2 installer [0.642450] vbd vbd-5632: 19 xenbus_dev_probe on device/vbd/5632 [0.642911] vbd vbd-5632: failed to write error node for device/vbd/5632 (19 xenbus_dev_probe on device/vbd/5632) 2)

I''ve just had my first attempt at getting VGA passthrough to work, and it crashed the machine. I''m trying to understand whether this is a problem with my hardware, configuration or a software problem.

These three patches (two were previously posted) can do simple operating system inspection in C. Example of use: ><fs> add-ro rhel55.img ><fs> run ><fs> inspect-os /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 ><fs> inspect-get-type /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 linux ><fs> inspect-get-distro /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhel ><fs> inspect-get-arch

v2 was here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-June/msg00008.html This series gets as far as a working (and faster) reimplementation of ‘guestfs_list_filesystems’. I also have another patch series on top of this one which reimplements the inspection APIs inside the daemon, but that needs a bit more work still, since inspection turns out to be a very large piece of code.
