similar to: CentOS 4 and CentOS 5 DomU on CentOS 5 Dom0: problems with hand-built OS and LVM

I''m trying to do what I think would be relatively simple but can''t seem to make it work. Essentially I want to create several domU''s running CentOS each with it''s own LVM partition for increased performance over image files. Initially I did a test with image files and everything went fine, I booted the supplied initrd and vmlinuz images installed CentOS from

I am running a Debian Squeeze Xen 4.0.1 Hypervisor and 2.6.32-5-xen-amd64 dom0. My xen-tools.conf: lvm = vg00 size = 100Gb # Disk image size. memory = 2048Mb # Memory size swap = 2G # Swap size # noswap = 1 # Don''t use swap at all for the new system. fs = ext4 # use the EXT3 filesystem for the disk image. dist = `xt-guess-suite-and-mirror --suite` # Default

Hi, I am running xen-unstable , now i have a Full Virt DomU running RHEL 3 update 5 wanted to know is there a way to convert this vm to Paravirt . regards Satya _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Hi Centos users I successfully installed a Centos 5.1 DomU on Debian Etch Dom0. I used the virtual file systems from Jailtime[0] How to this manual (without using Jailtime)? I wish to install from Scratch. Xen-tools/rpmstrap doesn't work for me. cheers Simon [0] http://jailtime.org/ -- XMPP: sjolle at swissjabber.org

Hello all, I am trying to get an Ubuntu 8.04 image running on my CentOS 5.2 Dom0 which so far has only been running CentOS 5.2 DomUs. The image I am trying to run was fetched from jailtime.org (just so I didn't have to go through building an image for myself). The configuration of the DomU is based on what the guys at jailtime.org provided and its as follows name = "redgum"

Hello, I have a pre-built xen image from jailtime.org (centos.5-2.64.img). However, I cannot get it to boot.

Hello, I''m currently trying to understand some problems I had in the past with mixing look-back with blktap(2) for HV and PV domains. I''m stuck reading the source code, so I''d like to get some help from the list. Interrupt me if I got something fundamentally wrong in my understanding so far: 1. With pure-HV the domU gets an emulated IDE (or whatever) disk. The

Way are not a ramdisk included with the images from jailtime.org That seems this is needed _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Just installed Xen 3 on FC5 that all went smooth following: http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraXenQuickstart I want to however create a FC4 virtual machine - I attepmpted to use the image at: http://jailtime.org but it doesnt seem to work (networking fail, most else works great) -- I am thinking that it is because those are for Xen 2 (??) So, is there another place to get images for Xen 3?

Hi, Could any one please tell me a proper way to access my DomU using VNC. I saw a thread related to this topic, but that did not seem to have the right thing. I am using Xen 3.2 (compiled from source) on top of FC8-64bit. I am using a jailtime.org file system image for FC 64 bit as my Dom U. Thanks DM

Hi, I''m trying to build non sles10 domU under sles10 dom0. I''ve downloaded centos and debian images from www.jailtime.org fixed the config file and try to start domU.

After using google allot :-)

Hello, I have a CentOS VM with only one disk on a Xenserver. The disk has 2 partitions: /dev/xvda1 -> /boot /dev/xvda2 -> a physical volume for LVM I added 5GB to this disk via Xencenter to extend /dev/xvda2. Usually I just have to do "pvresize /dev/xvda" to have the additional space added to the disk. But for some reason it does not work for this disk. [root ~]# pvresize

Ok So I''ve been able to successfully create a CentOS5 virt-install on xen using LVM created partitions. But have many problems trying to install 4.4 (It does not work with virt-install hence you have to try another method). I Created a name, name-tmp, name-swap, name-root paritions. I did mke2fs and mkswap no problem everything is good. I went on further to mount the name-tmp and
