I have successfully booted into the dom0 kernel. output of xm list: Name ID Mem VCPUs State Time(s) Domain-0 0 932 1 r----- 591.2 But whenever I xm create, I get: # xm create /etc/xen/domu1 Using config file

Hello, I''m trying to get a freebsd virtual machine running following : http://www.yuanjue.net/xen/howto.html But I get : # xm create freebsd_xen_INSTALL -c Using config file "./freebsd_xen_INSTALL".

Hi, just upgraded my testsystem to 3.0.4 (using the provided source rpm, xen-3.0.4.1-1.src.rpm, rebuilt it to run on non-PXE but no changes besides that, and it doesn''t look like the 3.0.4-testing HG has major differences so far?) and I have two problems with rebooting domains (xm reboot, or reboot from inside the domain). 1) the kernel-commandline keeps growing. On the first boot

Hi list, I''m using Dom0 gentoo with xen 3.0.4 and xenman. I have several DomU working and it is really nice :) so all my DomUs are installed with disk images. Now i want to use an ISO to boot and install a linux system (or win). When i try to boot the DomU i dont have nothing, nothing relevant (for me) in logs and i can connect to the console. The state of the DomU is unknow. Any help

Guys, I''ve successfully ran dom0/domU (both Debian) in my local laptop using 2.6.32.15 dom0 with xen-4.0.1-rc3-pre. Great. Now I want to install it into couple of test-machines without compiling from source. So I did following.. a. make dist-xen b. make dist-tools PYTHON_PREFIX_ARG="--install-layout=deb" c. make dist-stubdom This

Hi, I''m trying to use a Gentoo whit Xem 4.0, but I try: xm create windows2008r2.hvm I get the error: Error: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, NoneType found.

Hi, Ive just tried Xen 4.0 on Gentoo with 2.6.32 (also tried 2.6.31) forward ported dom0 kernel, Xen itself seems to boot up successfully and everything else on the system is working normally, but when I try to start a domain xm create appears to hang and eventually I get a hotplug scripts error: Error: Device 2049 (vbd) could not be connected. /etc/xen/scripts/block failed; error detected.

Hello! I was asking for help on the Freenode channel, and I was pointed here. I have a situation where, using xl, I can create a functional PV domU, with or without pv-grub, but I cannot access the console. Firing up xend and using xm works without trouble. Since xend and company is being deprecated, I would like to transition to using the xl toolstack. The system is an Arch Linux system

Here are two patches that let xm create, save and restore extract and preserve elfnotes read by the domain builder. This is handy for a few things. In particular, I''d like it so that xm can decide whether or not guest domains support fast resume (if save fails, or for checkpointing). _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com

Hi everyone, I managed to install xen 4 on ubuntu lucid. I managed to read around what kernel configuration options are needed. The problem is that xend can''t start. If I try to run it I get errors from some python scripts. virt-viewer can''t connect to xend, also. I followed the steps in the Xen 4 wiki and the links from Boris'' blog. What should I do? These are the

Hi, I downloaded XEN 3.1 source code on a fedora 6 machine. I did # make world # make install It did not give me an error then when I restarted the machine the Grub did not have 2 options. It had only one option that was the kernel. On loading the OS, when i gave # xend it gives the following errors: [root@localhost sbin]# xend ERROR Internal error: Could not obtain handle on privileged command

Hi, this patch introduces a new config file option (numanodes=[x]) to specify a list of valid NUMA nodes for guests. This will extend (but not replace) the recently introduced automatic placement. If several nodes are given, the current algorithm will choose one of them. If none of the given nodes has enough memory, this will fall back to the automatic placement. Signed-off-by: Andre

Hi Orazio, Is "NoneType object is unsubscriptable" the full and complete error message? I'd have expected some sort of accompanying backtrace, if not on the console then in /var/log/xen/* Is this issue by any chance fixed by installing the xen-qemu-dm-4.0 package? Lastly, does this happen with the packages from Wheezy? Thanks, Ian.

This patch rewrites the rtc/timeoffset entry so the VM''s record can be retrieved with the Java xmlrpc library. If the entry is ''None'' it upsets the xmlrpc parser. This fixes it, though maybe there''s a better place in xend to place similar code. Signed-off-by: Stefan Berger <stefanb@us.ibm.com> _______________________________________________ Xen-devel

I tried to start a linux hvm domain (just for testing some things compared to a pv domain), and it didn''t start up. I then did a ''xm shutdown'', which didn''t work, then a ''xm destroy'', and from then the ''xm list'' function just hung. I then restarted xend, and ''xm list'' works, but now when I try to start the

I have an smbd process that is using alot of cpu on HP-UX 11.11 using Samba 2.2.3a. It looks like the application on the client side is trying to open and close a ton of files, many of which do not exist. When I do a trace on the smbd process, I see repeated calls to lstat64 to what looks like all of the device files on my unix server. Here is a little bit of the trace. It goes through all of the
