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

Hello Everyone, I recently had a question that got no responses about GFS+DRBD clusters for Xen VM storage, but after some consideration (and a lot of Googling) I have a couple of new questions. Basically what we have here are two servers that will each have a RAID-5 array filled up with 5 x 320GB SATA drives, I want to have these as useable file systems on both servers (as they will both be

Hi, I''m trying to create OpenSolaris (2008.11) domU on RedHat Linux dom0. I''m using a file backed VBD. I used the iso image to first launch and install OpenSolaris into the file VBD.

Hi everyone, i have a problem on a running xen installation. The server on which the following problem occurs manages 7 VMs at the moment. Now I wanted to create a new one.

I recently upgraded storage on our (first) xen server and would like to migrate the file-based vms I have in play to lvm-based storage... Can anyone point me in the right direction? Is there a way to mount a vm image file like I would using a iso image and a loopback device? Each vm''s disk file contains a partition table with root and swap partitions... In retrospect I wish I''d

Hello Everyone, I have been trying to get a Fedora 12 domU to boot for the better part of the afternoon and haven't had success booting any F12 kernel in Xen. I can get Fedora 11 installed no problem, tried to do a preupgrade but the when booting the preupgrade kernel through grub (or even from outside the domU) the domU reboots very quickly and ultimately crashes. As far as I saw in the

Hello, This might be called a core build not completely positive. What i want to do is make a completely customized centos 5.4 unattended CD or DVt not only installs a specific list of apps apps that i want on each system, but configures them automatically perhaps via scripts, and enables or disables services etc. Basically, i want to drop the CD or DVD in a box which will probably not have a

I''m happy I''ve succeeded in creating Windows 2003 server guest VM on a xen machine.

I want win server keep working, but not its display (implemented on gnome) on console monitor all the time. Joon Woo

Hello folks, i do not get access to a physical disk with xen. I would like to install windows xp as hvm to the physical partition /dev/sdb1. I partioned the disk with cfdisk. Filesystem type is Linux (83). In my eyes the filesystem using hvm is insignificant(?). I tried the following configurations; probably a lot more than this. #disk = [ ''phy:hda1,hda1,r'' ] (comment from
