[Xen-devel] Getting wierd behaviour of SLES11 SP1 on XenCenter5.6 FP1
Hi, I am trying to install SLES11 SP1 on XenCenter Virtual image and while Installation finding that it is showing 4 disks (hda, hdb, sda & sdb) instead of 2 disks. Here is my observations: 1. Checked SLES11SP1 OS installation on Xen virtual image (5.6 FP1 - build38895), seeing 4 disks (hda, hdb, sda, sdb) instead of 2 disks (either hda, hdb, or sda, sdb). 2. On The same virtual instance, SLES11 GA shows proper 2 disks hda & hdb 3. When upgraded the SLES11GA instance with the SLES11SP1 OS, again during installation it shows 4 disks and after OS installation completed also it shows only 4 disks (hda, hdb, sda, sdb). That is, in SLES11 GA it was only 2 disks and now after upgrde it shows 4 disks (hda, hdb, sda, sdb). 4. On the same instance, SLES10SP3 is installed successfully and shows only 2 disks hda & hdb 5. Even with the new virtual instance on XenCenter, I am getting the same behaviour. here is the output after SLES11 SP1 installation: ************************************************** *************************** xensles11sp1: # df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda1 17G 3.9G 13G 25% / devtmpfs 939M 152K 939M 1% /dev tmpfs 939M 24K 939M 1% /dev/shm /dev/sda2 1004M 42M 912M 5% /boot /dev/sr0 2.9G 2.9G 0 100% /media/SLES-11-SP1-DVD-x86_64.0432..001 xensles11sp1: # You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/root xensles11sp1: # xensles11sp1: # xensles11sp1: # cat /etc/*release LSB_VERSION="core-2.0-noarch:core-3.2-noarch:core-4.0-noarch:core-2.0-x86_64:core-3.2-x86_64:core-4.0-x86_64" SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86_64) VERSION = 11 PATCHLEVEL = 1 xensles11sp1:# fdisk -l Disk /dev/hdb: 21.5 GB, 21474836480 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 2610 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x86aa86aa Disk /dev/hdb doesn''t contain a valid partition table Disk /dev/hda: 26.8 GB, 26843545600 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 3263 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x000b81a5 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 2 2220 17824117+ 83 Linux /dev/hda2 * 2221 2350 1044225 83 Linux /dev/hda3 2351 2872 4192965 82 Linux swap / Solaris Disk /dev/sdb: 21.5 GB, 21474836480 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 2610 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x86aa86aa Disk /dev/sdb doesn''t contain a valid partition table Disk /dev/sda: 26.8 GB, 26843545600 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 3263 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x000b81a5 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 2 2220 17824117+ 83 Linux /dev/sda2 * 2221 2350 1044225 83 Linux /dev/sda3 2351 2872 4192965 82 Linux swap / Solaris xensles11sp1: # df -h /dev/sda1 17G 3.9G 12G 25% / devtmpfs 939M 152K 939M 1% /dev tmpfs 939M 24K 939M 1% /dev/shm /dev/sda2 1004M 42M 912M 5% /boot /dev/sr0 2.9G 2.9G 0 100% /media/SLES-11-SP1-DVD-x86_64.0432..001 I have attached the screenshot of all above mentioned stuffs: Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on http://xen.1045712.n5.nabble.com/file/n4990261/SLES11_GA_Installation.doc SLES11_GA_Installation.doc -- View this message in context: http://xen.1045712.n5.nabble.com/Getting-wierd-behaviour-of-SLES11-SP1-on-XenCenter5-6-FP1-tp4990261p4990261.html Sent from the Xen - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
