similar to: How are you getting your Vista and XP VMs to work?

Folks: I am unable to get my opensolaris sn-b85 domU to start up in an opensolaris sn-b85 dom0. I am booted to xvm. Other systems, such as Fedora 8, WinXP Pro, W2k3 server, W2k8 server and Windows Vista startup normally. I have used the following to build the domU: # mkfile -n 25g /solhvm/solhvm.img # ls -l /solhvm total 269 -rw------T 1 root root 26843545600 Jul 7 10:37 solhvm.img

Hi, I''m running snv84 on a SunFire x2200M2, 2 dualcore opterons, 8GB ram, 2 mirror sata disks (zfs). I tried to install both Ubuntu 7.1 Desktop and Fedora 8 into a HVM domU but failed everytime. The VNC-Server for the domU dies, but the domain still consumes CPU time, disks go idle after a while (zpool iostat or iostat show zero I/O). The domUs booted up fine, the installer started,

Dear Experts, Does anyone install Windows Vista on XVM successfully?

All, I installed Vista on Xen yesterday, but it no longer shows up on my Admin console. Disk space still shows 30G used by it. Also, how do I eject CDROM while Xen is running :) Thanks, Andrey _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Hi. I have an AMD Athlon 64 X2/dual core processor and 2 gigs of ram running SXDE/87 (as far as I can tell, it''s on a ufs filesystem, not zfs). I''m attempting to install Vista from cd and the virt-install command fails with the same error regardless of what I do. I''m running this from my user (not root) account. I''m using qemu-img to create my hard drive images.

Has anyone gotten this to work under CentOS 4.5? When I choose RDPv5 I get this error: ERROR: modulus len 0x108 ERROR: send: Connection reset by peer ERROR: Connection closed When I try just RDP, I get: ERROR: modulus len 0x108 ERROR: send: Connection reset by peer -- --- David Woyciesjes

Hi all, I have this tabletpc one of my bosses insisted on buying. The machine runs Windows Vista TabletPC Edition. As it happens I have a thousand and one problems with this POS operating system... I think the hardware is fine though, so it's not that. Would any of you guys know of some kind of linux-based alternative, preferrably available on or for CentOS, that can do the same

Hi, Anybody please tell me how to have a PV Linux with graphics? I succesfully created some PV Linux with debootstrap and xen-tools. But then all the images must be started with "xm create -c" command, and everything then is console, with no X Window. In short, I want to have PV Linux, but with X. How to do that?

i installed an HVM WinXP-SP2 (english) on a xen-3.2.1 @ fedora-core8. if I try to connect to the RDP-port, the winxp-DomU freeze for about 10 seconds (can''t make any action on the vnc-viewer, all running programs do not update there view (e.g. windows clock does not run) and the "xm top" shows me 100% CPU load on this domain. After this 10 seconds, I got the normal rdp-login

I''ve recently installed Debian Lenny witch Xen (xen-utils, xen.tools and xen-linux-system-2.6.26-2-xen-amd64). I want to virtualize some windows servers, but I''m unable to connect to localhost VNC when I start the vm (xm create) to proceed with windows instalation. The VM config is: import os, re arch = os.uname()[4] if re.search(''64'', arch):

Hi All, I have installed Solaris 11 Build snv_77 on x86 box. I have been facing problem while working with Xen (xm command)... I have installed guest domain/VM/OS(Solaris 11 Build snv_77) on x86 box, using "virt-install" utility. After rebooting the host machine, my guest domain has become inactive. I am not able to perform any task on guest domain, including getting console. It

I''m creating a new domU using ''virsh create <xmlfile>'' without specifying the MAC address within the XML file, under the assumption that the dom0 or hypervisor generates the MAC address for me. Next I''d like to get the MAC address that was assigned to this new domU, and I don''t see a way to get that information from the command line via virsh

Hi all, The mouse is not really useful in the virtual machine. The actual mouse is like miles away and in order to click on the buttons it is very frustrating to push the buttons. Does anybody have a solution for this. thanks in advance Filip This message posted from opensolaris.org

I''m running Xen on Nexenta Core, and I haven''t yet figured out how to control which DomU''s are started with svcadm enable svc:/system/xvm/domains:default. virsh doesn''t seem to be available with Nexenta Core, so I''d rather edit the configuration files by hand. However, I''ve found neither OpenSolaris or Nexenta documentation on how this is

Hi, I''m running Xen server based on OpenSuSE 11 (Xen version 3.2.1_16881_04-4.2). I have several Linux DomU''s that run perfect. Now I need a temporary Vista install (for testing) so I used ''virt-manager'' to install Vista. I used LVM based setup, Vista got 4GB of memory (at least temporary) and 2 CPU''s. Initially things look good - I get the console

I''m trying to figure out what the CURRENT requirements are for configuring the xVM domains to start at boot-time and stop on shutdown. The closest to current I''ve seen is http://opensolaris.org/os/community/xen/docs/xVM_lowres.pdf which does not address the problem, and http://opensolaris.org/os/community/xen/docs/xvm-ktde-20070917.pdf which states: *

Hi, When dom0 is under heavy load any Vista or Windows 2008 HVM''s that are running and have multiple cpu''s assigned often BSOD with code 0x00000101 "A clock interrupt was not recevied ona secondary processor within the allocated time interval" It only happens if the load in dom0 is high enough to make the mouse pointer lagged, once the mouse fails to track in

I''ve searched all night long on google, discussions, threads, and the xen wiki... but I can''t find how to do this: vif = [''type=ioemu,mac=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX,model=ne2k_pci''] where should I put this? I have sxce94, dom0 works nicely, and domUs too, but I''d like to select ne2k for an hvm openbsd dom0 that I''ve created because I''ve read
