similar to: domUloader kernel command line arguments?

Hi I have been using pygrub for most of the needs. Was trying out some stuff on SLES 10 SP1. It seems that it does not have pygrub!! On the other hand,they have domUloader.py which requires bootargs="--entry=hda:/boot/vmlinuz...., path to ramdisk. It is quite strange to be asking for the path of the kernel and the ramdisk to be supplied in the conf file!!. Am I missing something

Good day, Gparted is not available on my installation. Which patition tool is available in centos 5.5 please. Thanks Johan

centos 6 failed to create entries under /dev for newly created loopback devices. Any one know why? and how to fix/workaround it? The steps to duplicate is pretty simple dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/deleteme bs=1M count=100 losetup /dev/loop0 /tmp/deleteme fdisk /dev/loop0?? ## created partitions 1, 2, etc. fdisk -l /dev/loop0? ## confirmed that the partitions do exist mkfs.ext3 /dev/loop0p1 ## failed

Hi All, I have several Xen virtual machines within logical volumes using LVM2. I did not use disk images for performance reasons. Conventionally, if I want to clone my virtual machines, I have to dd the LV to an image file. But this consumes a lot of time and harddisk space. So, instead of doing that, I want to use losetup and kpartx with my logical volumes, which contain operating systems of

Hi I had installed Xen-3.0.4 in Scientific linux 4 (kernel version 2.6.16.33) by following the instructions given in following link project-xen.web.cern.ch/project-xen/xen/howto_slcXen.html I ve created the guest Domain with fedora image of size 2.2GB , disk space as 10GB and the domain started successfully . when i logged into the xm console and checked the disk space its showing only 2.2GB ..

Hi, xm destroy CRASHED_DOMAIN does not cleanup the vbd nor the vif. The loopback backend is busy, so losetup -d fails. This is inconvenient, as it results in an unclean shutdown of your physical machine.

Hi guys. DomU config disk = [ ''phy:/dev/xen00/debian5-base,sda1,w'', ''phy:/dev/xen00/debian5-swap,sda2,w'', ] ----------------------- mkswap /dev/xen00/debian5-swap But in domU in booting: Activating swap...failed. What wrong? -- Best Regards, alex.faq8@gmail.com

Hi everyone! I''ve been reading this list for a while and I''m thinking that the best way to do backups is using LVM snapshots as discussed here several times. The problem is that when i use a LVM logical volume as windows disk, windows writes the partition table onto the LV so the LV itself is not a partition - it''s a whole disk. lvm/device-mapper does not create the

Some more remarks: XendBootloader.py misses a timeout and waits for the bootloader to finish forever; I just made a TODO.

Hi Is there any docs, howtos, etc, if i am installed eg. CentOS 5 to as domU as fully virtualized and now i am wanting to use it PV drivers. Any help how migration can be done?

Hello! I installed NexentaOS (Opensolaris kernel b104+). First booting system is true. Before first rebooting system updates boot_archive. It''s false. Computer is freeze and CapsLock and ScrollLock is blinking. Helps only RESET button. My system is Ubuntu 8.10, kernel-2.6.30-rc3-tip, Xen-3.4-Stable with debug options enabled. My hardware: AMD Athlon64X2 5400+, RAM 4GB. For DomU: mem=1024,

I have a virtual machine that had been running fine using a RAW disk image (IDE). I am in the process of converting this virtual machine to use a single LVM and virtio. (For LVM backup snapshots and easy resizing purposes (no LVM within the guest)) I create the LVM and copied all the files from the existing RAW image to an ext3 under the LVM. However, I cannot get it to boot. It has to do

Hi, how can I install a openSuSE 10.3 PV-guest on a LVM-drive of a openSuSE 10.3 host with Xen 3.10? On 10.2 with Xen 3.0.3 the openSuSE-YaST-module for managing VMs could install the system also on block-devices, unfortunately this is not possible anymore with OSS 10.3 :-( What I have tried: - I created two LVM-partitions, one for "/" one for swap. - Installing an OSS 10.2 PV-guest

Hi All, I am trying to create an initrd for a VM which uses LVM as its root partition. I am running the mkinitrd command a dom0 that also uses LVM - dom0''s volume group is "XenHost" while the VM''s volume group is "VG_VM10" (not sure if that matters). I issue the mkinitrd command from a chroot''d environment so I get the right /lib/modules &

OS: EL6 - sometimes I use kpartx -a /mnt/.../lvdisk.img to map the partitions and mount them via /dev/mapper/loop0pX After using the disk (unmounting it) I noticed that detaching such mapping via kpartx -d does not result in freeing up the loop devices. Results: System reboots shows that the filesystem where lvdisk.img is located can't be unmounted. lsof, fuser, ps does not show

Hi, For anyone who is interested; I created some basic scripts based on my current iSCSI block script. http://kinkrsoftware.nl/contrib/xen/block-netapp http://kinkrsoftware.nl/contrib/xen/netapp-lun.py Basically these two scripts allow you to start a vfiler with a qtree of customers.
