Hi list, I am running a virtualized server. Dom0 uses Xen 3.2.1 with Debian Etch and a custom kernel 2.6.21 created by my webhosting company. I install my domU using debootstrap for a Debian Etch with 2.6.18-6-xen-amd64 kernel. Everything works well except the fact that once the VM is started I cannot "xm console" into it. It only works while it is booting and while it is shutting

Hello All I just recently adopted a server with Gentoo/Xen as domain0 server with several domainUs attached to it. Please forgive my xen-noobness, but I was hoping that someone can help me out. These images have not been updated in a long time, and I''m trying to get all the domainUs updated with their appropriate services patches, etc. I''m currently working on one Gentoo

Hi, Trying to get vga console and a serial console to both work. I can get either one to fully work but not both. When using serial, I do still get a login prompt on the vga, But not all the boot up output. Seems like half to the vga and the rest to the serial port I added lines to /etc/inittab # console port T0:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -L ttyS0 115200 And added to /etc/lilo.conf

Hi, I need some help to clarify TTY and virtual consoles. Thanks a lot. 1. I learned that to switch from one TTY to another, one must be at the physical machine. Does the same apply to virtual consoles? 2. My /etc/inittab includes the following. Does that mean there's only one instance of TTY on my CentOS? ... #

I've been installing CentOS via PXE and using a serial console interface. The installation works great.

Thanks for any insights. -- Jiann-Ming Su "I have to decide between two equally

Alle, After upgrading from 6.4 to 6.5, our serial console configuration non longer work. We have the following upstart file: [cwfox at hilo ~]$ cat /etc/init/ttyS0.conf # ttyS0 - agetty # # This service maintains a agetty on ttyS0. stop on runlevel [S016] start on runlevel [23] respawn exec agetty -h -L -w /dev/ttyS0 115200 vt100 [cwfox at hilo ~]$ And the following in /etc/securetty:

Hi, I have already set up a VM that can access the network using the NAT mode. The problem I have is that I''d like to create another VM that also has access to the network. The problem I get is that when a VM is started, the other one will refuse to start. Actually it starts, but when I want to "xm console" into it I get the following error message: "xenconsole: Could not

I installed xen 3.3.0 on a etch box from sources. I just modified the standard kernel cause of some hardware drivers. I installed xen-tools from backports (3.9-3~bpo40+1). To create a domU ist not the problem. I can connect via ssh and everything works fine. But when i start a domU with "xm create host.example.tld.cfg -c" to login to console from domU it hangs after the message

We run a CentOS-5 based hylafax server with external serial modems. We are transitioning to an Asterisk system using IAXmodem running on CentOS-6. On the CentOS-5 system to start the fax modems we added these lines to inittab: # Add fax lines and always ALWAYS run "telinit q" after making a change. fax1:2345:respawn:/usr/sbin/faxgetty ttyS0 fax2:2345:respawn:/usr/sbin/faxgetty ttyS1

Hello, I''m enjoying my Xen quest very much thus far. Q: How does one handle the situation of multiple root users on dom0 trying to `xm console'' to the same guest? I was unable to use the virtual console at all until I added a line to inittab for agetty to spawn on xvc0. Now I''m not sure of an elegant solution for supporting multiple consoles (possible?), or even

Hello all, I'd like to connect to a CentOS 5.2 system's console through a null-modem cable. An USB to serial converter is connected to that system's USB port.

I''m currently working on moving storage services into their own domain and I''ve been looking at blktap2. I''ve been trying to get an image mounted with blktap2 and for some odd reason and tapdisk2 keeps hanging instead of quitting at the end. I haven''t removed any of the storage startup code at this point so everything should be as it normally is in xen-unstable.

Hi, We are having a strange issue. If we run asterisk from /etc/inittab and then connect using asterisk -r, we don't see any logs coming in CLI. However logs are properly reported to /var/log/asterisk/messages and system is working fine. Now, if we run from command line (asterisk -f) and then usie asterisk -r, we properly see logs in CLI. This is bit strange and not able to solve this
