similar to: Installing XCP from USB thumb drive

1. I''d like to experiment with XCP by creating a nested arrangment - XCP on VirtualBox - but need to know what "version" of Linux to specify when creating the VM. 2. I''m currently using a 32-bit host. (Mageia-1 is/was only available as a 32-bit O/S when I installed it.) Does XCP require a 64-bit architecture? Eric Pretorious Truckee, CA

I''ve installed Xen Hypervisor 3.0.3 (CentOS 5.7, i386) inside Virtualbox 4.1.16 (Mageia 1, i686) and have noticed that Dom0 is consuming 85% of the memory allocated to the VM (1GB) so I''d like to reduce this as much as possible in order to make more room for one or two VM''s. Is there a minimum amount of vRAM that can/should be allocated to Dom0 (using the dom0_mem boot

When I attempt to migrate a VM from one host to another (sles-xen-2 -> sles-xen-1) I get the error message: > sles-xen-2:~ # xm migrate --live SLES-11-SP2-1 192.168.1.3 > Error: can''t connect: [Errno 111] Connection refused > ... What might be the problem? FWIW: I''ve already verified that iptables rules have been cleared and that xend does not have any ports open

Is it possible to create a highly-available OCFS2 cluster (i.e., A storage cluster that mitigates the single point of failure [SPoF] created by storing an OCFS2 volume on a single LUN)?

I''m new to Xen and I''ve never attended XenSummit but I did look at the Presentations & Videos and the Agenda from 2011 and I''m wondering if XenSummit 2012 be a good venue for learning more about designing, deploying, and managing Xen-based clouds?

I wonder if someone can point me in right directions. I have two dell servers I setup iscsi so I have four 2 tb hard drives and i had used lvm to create one big partiton and share it using iscsi. How I go about assigning sections of iscsi for virtual hard drives . should go about assigning Should I export the whole 8TB as one iscsi and then use lvm to create smaller virtual disk. Or should I

Hi: Sorry for the basic NOOB question but I managed to create a VM but now I am stuck. On page 26 of the XCP Virtual Machine Installation Guide it says "VNC and perform the OS installation". I tried everything I could find (listed below) but I am stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Here are two questions whose answers would really help: 1.

Package: xcp-storage-managers Version: 0.1.1-2ubuntu1 Severity: normal This bug prevents CDROM VDIs from being hotplugged into guest VMs. The issue is that the NFS ISO SR configures the ISO VDIs to be 'file' types, which it should configure them to by 'phy' types. This breaks on Debian's Xen because the Debian hotplug scripts are more robuse than the ones on XenServer, and

Hi there. I needed to recompile xapi to fix a bug that was resolved regarding vdi-create not setting the sharable flag. I used the sources provided in the source-1.iso from xen.org. Everything is good in this regard, and creating a vdi that has "sharable=true" is possible, but I had a problem that forced me to revert to the older copy of the xapi binary because my XCP box was now being

Hello, Is it required to install an additional VNC server on XCP 1.1.0 dom0 box (ip 192.168.1.50)to get access to VNC-windows for installing domU guests? As I don''t use m$ / XenCenter so I need VNC for installation of new guests. The VM is running (s. below) *but* I was not able to open VNC window to continue the installation (s. error message further below) # --- uuid ( RO)

Hi Folks: I am having trouble creating a Fedora 14 domU on a XCP 1.0 dom0 hypervisor and am hoping that someone can help me figure out what I am doing wrong. Here is what I did (per the user''s guide and reference manual): ## Step 1. Create the VM: # uuid=$(xe vm-install template=''Other install media'' new-name-label=''test'') ## Note: I also tried

Dear Debian maintainer, The Debian internationalisation team and the Debian English localisation team will soon begin the review of the debconf templates used in xen-api. This review takes place for all packages that use debconf to interact with users and its aims are: - to improve the use of English in all debconf templates; - to make the wording of debconf templates more consistent; - to

Hello, In our office we would like to do something like "memory overcommitment" or rather "dynamic allocation" for a bunch of windows domUs (server 2003 & 2008). We thought this should be a simple feature, however we did not find any fitting solution. We use Xen 4.2.1 with xl toolstack. The idea is to use ballooning to dynamically (and automatically) change physical

Thanks for all the help... XVP seems quite high on requirements. Like it needs an SMTP server set up. I''m not sure I like that. I found a tool called BixData, it''s proprietary but with a free license for a limited number of managed servers. Being a fully fledged cloud management system, it''s true overkill for me and my 3-4 virtual machines, but at least it seems quite

Hi, I am a newb to XCP and somewhat to Linux. I set up XCP on a test machine and used xe to configure a couple of VMs. The VMs are working fine but if I deploy XCP with only xe to manage machines, the others here will want my head on a plate. I set up a Fedora client on a different machine and installed Virtual Machine Manager. When trying to connect via SSH, I get an error that says

You''re right scout the last line. Out looks like xapi is waiting on tapdisk to plug a key into xenstore. Perhaps a udev rule problem? Perhaps someone who knows more about tapdisk than I well be able to diagnose this tomorrow. Mike Sent from Samsung tablet Sébastien RICCIO <sr@swisscenter.com> wrote: Of course, here it is attached.
