Hi,
I found a problem in my new xenkernel set-up while installing VM. both the virt
types
paravirt and fullyvirt are disabled. Then i observe that command
#grep vmx /proc/cpuinfo
gives no output. Please help me enabling vmx in my intel xeon server. Or may be
its a kernel level issue since i have a successfully running xen-FC8 setup with
10 vms on the same machine.
Regards,
Fasiha Ashraf

VMX is hidden from guest kernels as it''s not a feature they themselves can make use of. Hence it does not appear in the guest''s /proc/cpuinfo. -- Keir On 22/10/2009 12:24, "Fasiha Ashraf" <feehapk@yahoo.co.in> wrote:> Hi, > I found a problem in my new xenkernel set-up while installing VM. both the > virt types > paravirt and fullyvirt are disabled.

Hi I am not using virt-manager or any management solutions. I created my virtual machines manually. For virtual disks, you can create it using dd or use LVM or physical partitions. After that you just need to create a vm configuration file. Then you start the vm using the xm create command. -- Mr. Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming) Dip(Mechatronics) BEng(Hons)(Mechanical Engineering) Alma Maters: (1) Singapore Polytechnic (2) National University of Singapore Blog URL: http://teo-en-ming-aka-zhang-enming.blogspot.com Email: space.time.universe@gmail.com MSN: teoenming@hotmail.com Mobile Phone: +65-9648-9798 Street: Bedok Reservoir Road Republic of Singapore On Fri, Oct 23, 2009 at 2:00 PM, Fasiha Ashraf <feehapk@yahoo.co.in> wrote:> Yeah...

Hi, I believe your /dev/sda1 is /boot. It appears all your available space on harddisk /dev/sda is used up (all 53309 cylinders). Could you free up disk space by deleting some partitions (be sure to backup your data first!!!)? Or do you have another empty harddisk? Having another empty harddisk is a better idea. When you plug it in, it will become /dev/sdb (if SCSI or SATA).
