Hi there,
i have a xen machine with gentoo as dom0 system.
Cpu is an amd x2 3800+ <- this is hvm compatible.
In my bios there is no info about hvm or smth I must enable to get hvm
working.
I want to install winxp so I use following script:
# -*- mode: python; -*-
#==========================================================================
# Python configuration setup for ''xm create''.
# This script sets the parameters used when a domain is created using
''xm
create''.
# You use a separate script for each domain you want to create, or
# you can set the parameters for the domain on the xm command line.
#==========================================================================
import os, re
arch = os.uname()[4]
if re.search(''64'', arch):
arch_libdir = ''lib64''
else:
arch_libdir = ''lib''
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
# Kernel image file.
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
# The domain build function. HVM domain uses ''hvm''.
builder=''hvm''
# Initial memory allocation (in megabytes) for the new domain.
memory = 384
# A name for your domain. All domains must have different names.
name = "ExampleHVMDomain"
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
# the number of cpus guest platform has, default=1
#vcpus=1
# enable/disable HVM guest PAE, default=0 (disabled)
#pae=0
# enable/disable HVM guest ACPI, default=0 (disabled)
#acpi=0
# enable/disable HVM guest APIC, default=0 (disabled)
#apic=0
# List of which CPUS this domain is allowed to use, default Xen picks
#cpus = "" # leave to Xen to pick
#cpus = "0" # all vcpus run on CPU0
#cpus = "0-3,5,^1" # run on cpus 0,2,3,5
# Optionally define mac and/or bridge for the network interfaces.
# Random MACs are assigned if not given.
#vif = [ ''type=ioemu, mac=00:16:3e:00:00:11, bridge=xenbr0'' ]
# type=ioemu specify the NIC is an ioemu device not netfront
vif = [ ''type=ioemu, bridge=xenbr0'' ]
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
# Define the disk devices you want the domain to have access to, and
# what you want them accessible as.
# Each disk entry is of the form phy:UNAME,DEV,MODE
# where UNAME is the device, DEV is the device name the domain will see,
# and MODE is r for read-only, w for read-write.
#disk = [ ''phy:hda1,hda1,r'' ]
disk = [ ''file:/xen/xp/xpdisk.img,ioemu:hda,w'' ]
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
# Configure the behaviour when a domain exits. There are three
''reasons''
# for a domain to stop: poweroff, reboot, and crash. For each of these you
# may specify:
#
# "destroy", meaning that the domain is cleaned up as normal;
# "restart", meaning that a new domain is started in place of
the
old
# one;
# "preserve", meaning that no clean-up is done until the
domain is
# manually destroyed (using xm destroy, for example); or
# "rename-restart", meaning that the old domain is not cleaned up,
but is
# renamed and a new domain started in its place.
#
# The default is
#
# on_poweroff = ''destroy''
# on_reboot = ''restart''
# on_crash = ''restart''
#
# For backwards compatibility we also support the deprecated option restart
#
# restart = ''onreboot'' means on_poweroff =
''destroy''
# on_reboot = ''restart''
# on_crash = ''destroy''
#
# restart = ''always'' means on_poweroff =
''restart''
# on_reboot = ''restart''
# on_crash = ''restart''
#
# restart = ''never'' means on_poweroff =
''destroy''
# on_reboot = ''destroy''
# on_crash = ''destroy''
on_poweroff = ''destroy''
on_reboot = ''destroy''
on_crash = ''destroy''
#==========================================================================
# New stuff
device_model = ''/usr/'' + arch_libdir +
''/xen/bin/qemu-dm''
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
# Disk image for
cdrom=''/dev/cdroms/cdrom0''
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
# boot on floppy (a), hard disk (c) or CD-ROM (d)
boot=''d''
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
# write to temporary files instead of disk image files
#snapshot=1
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
# enable SDL library for graphics, default = 0
sdl=1
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
# enable VNC library for graphics, default = 1
vnc=0
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
# enable spawning vncviewer(only valid when vnc=1), default = 1
vncviewer=0
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
# no graphics, use serial port
#nographic=0
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
# enable stdvga, default = 0 (use cirrus logic device model)
stdvga=0
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
# serial port re-direct to pty deivce, /dev/pts/n
# then xm console or minicom can connect
serial=''pty''
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
# enable ne2000, default = 0(use pcnet)
ne2000=0
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
# enable audio support

--
# set the real time clock to local time [default=0 i.e. set to utc]
#localtime=1
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
# start in full screen
#full-screen=1
And now when I call following cmd I get this error:
XEN ~ # xm create /xen/xp/xp_cd.cfg
Using config file "/xen/xp/xp_cd.cfg".
Error: Not an HVM capable platform, we stop creating!
I dont know how to fix that
any ideas?
Thanks in advance! Jürgen
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
