Hi, I''m trying to use a kickstart file to install VMs on a Scientific Linux 5.2 (repackaged RHEL52) host, but the install process seems to ignore my kickstart file. The command I''m using is: virt-install -n sl4vm01 --ram=1024 --vcpus=1 --os-type=linux --os-variant=rhel4 --extra-args="ks=http://particle.phys.uvic.ca/~fransham/ks.cfg" --paravirt --nographics

This is the patch from Amos Waterland for the xenconsole to use /dev/xvc0 instead of taking over ttys. I''ve fixed a few places which needed to check for XVC mode in addition to serial mode. Also, until LANANA responds with an official minor, I''ve adjusted it to use char 250/187 (in the experimental range) as opposed to 204/187 Signed-off-by: Jeremy Katz

Has anyone successfully used a kickstart file in tandem with the "virt-install" command? I can get a generic install to begin if I omit the "-x" flag and the kickstart parameters? It seems that virt-install simply ignores my kickstart parameters. virt-install --location=http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/centos/4.5/os/i386/ --noautoconsole --file=/dev/VolGroup00/lv_centos45

Right now the standard R.profile assigns the .First function as .First <- function() { if (interactive() && getenv("DISPLAY") != "") x11() } Is it reasonable to extend that a bit and use .First <- function() { if (interactive() && getenv("DISPLAY") != "" && ! (getenv("R_NOX") != "")) x11() } or

Hi all, I've started playing with kvm on CentOS 5.5, with not much success so far. In a nutshell, I have the same problem as http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-virt/2010-April/001854.html I followed the RHEL5 virtualization guide to set up a bridge interface br0, and then used virt-install (rather than virt-manager - I like automation) to set up the vm. It hangs at some point.

Hello everyone, I grabbed xen-3.3.1 sources from the Mercurial repository (xen-3.3-testing.hg, changeset 475:1cf755387728, from Oct. 23, 2008) and built Xen from these sources on a 32-core (8 quad core Barcelona CPUs) SunFire machine, running an Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardyy Heron) distribution. Everything seemed to be going OK until I booted an HVM (also Ubuntu 8.04) domain. That domain boots normally but

Create a new directory (builder/template). Integrate all of the scripts into a single program, so that templates are generated more consistently. This also changes how the index file is generated. The script now generates the index file fragment and saves it under version control, and then generates the final index file by concatenating these. (Previously the index was written by hand which was

Hello everyone: When i starting a linux domU, i get the error message: "xenconsole: Could not read tty from store: No such file or directory" #xm create -c /etc/xen/fc6.cfg Using config file ... ....... xenconsole: Could not read tty from store: No such file or directory ----------------- #xm list Name ID Mem VCPUs State Time(s) Domain-0 0 251

I'm using virt-v2v (0.8.3 currently) on EL6 to convert Xen guests to KVM. I see how virt-v2v converts any existing references to xvc0 and hvc0 serial console devices in /etc/inittab, /etc/securetty, and grub.conf. However, my Xen DomU grub.conf's don't have any mention of console= on the kernel lines, because the Xen DomU kernel defaults to using the correct xvc0 console. As a

I've set up a local webserver to store kickstart files for domUs. All parameters are respected apart from the network settings. DomU always gets DHCP. Can any one help to unwrap this one?

Hey I am having a tad bit of a problem with installing a guest OS. This is not a full vt system we are using the paravirt for now. I am trying to use the xen guest config in /etc/xen/$config.

I have a kickstart file created that works great for installing CentOS on PVM''s and now I want to use it for HVM''s as well. The problem is that when I attempt to run the install, it seems to ignore the kickstart and starts prompting me for all the things I already have specified in the kickstart. Any idea what I could be doing wrong? Here is the command im using to get things

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

Hello, im struggling with getting a Fedora 11 Domu up and running. My Host is a HP DL380 g6 with CentOS 5.5 and XEN 4 from gitco installed.

Hi all I''m running CentOS 5.1 x64 + Xen 3.0 & I have setup a CentOS 5.1 x64 domU as a HMV. For the setup I used VNC, but I would prefer to be able to access it via "xm console cPanel" via SSH directly. Here''s the output cPanel HVM: [root@pc-00059 ~]# more /etc/xen/cPanel name = "cPanel" uuid = "ff940501-507d-04ca-e590-831e79ba0397" maxmem =

Hello all, I''ve been running Xen 2.0x for some few months and have written a simple top(1)-like tool - xenConsole - which continously displays all running domains, along with their CPU-consumption, load averages, percentual CPU-/memory-usage, domain uptimes and so forth. A screenshot probably explains it better than me: http://www.gothix.dk/xenConsole/xcon-0.10b1-ok.PNG It requires

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
