Hy, I am testing Xen4 Beta2. I have a problem: I have ISDN PCI Card in a Server with Intel xeon 64 with VT. I have installed Windows 2003 Server R2 Enterprices in a virtuell Maschine. How can I use this PCI Card? Or, how can I use a USB device (external Hard disk)? A other question for me is: How can I the partisions (for the virtual Harddisk) change (make a 5 GB Harddisk in a 20 GB Harddisk)? In the Linux Xen, have I configuration file for the doms? Can I save the doms file System in the Linux System? I can not find the image files for the doms. Thanks a lot.

Well that won''t work! The PCI devices can only used by paravirtualized guest not HVM guest. As there is some development in this feature, maybe someday one could do it, but not now!

First of all you have to check wich ID your USB-device gets: # lsusb Then you have to add 2 lines to your hvm-config: usb=1 usbdevice="host:xxxx:yyyy" where xxxx:yyyy is the "ID" section in lsusb. I can not tell if this works with usb-flash-drives too, because I would think that there is some heavy load and maybe therefore it won''t work.> How can I the partisions (for the virtual Harddisk) change (make a 5 GB > Harddisk in a 20 GB Harddisk)?You want to resize the domU harddisk? Hm, never tried it too, but if you use LVM in Dom0 and giving a lvm-partition to the domU, you could try to shutdown the domU, resize LVM partition and then, after starting domU again, try to use Partition Magic within domU to resize your filesystem. But, never did that too, and I don''t know if it would break your filesystem?! So be carefull!> Can I save the doms file System in the Linux System?You can make a 1:1 copy of your image file, with cp or dd, I guess!?> I can not find the image files for the doms.Check your domU config-file, there you should find the path to your image file.

Hy, THANKS FOR YOUR ANSWER. But, I can not find the config file fort he VM, on this host maschine. I think, they works with a sql database? I am Using XEN4 Bata2. You can download: http://tx.downloads.xensource.com/products/XenServer_4.0.0b2/index.php I have configured all VM''s with the dot.net Client on a Windows Client (XenCenter). I can not find the configure files for the dom''s. By Markus -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Age_M [mailto:Age_M@gmx.de] Gesendet: Samstag, 11.

Hello, I have found the config file for all Domains. Is is a XML sql Database: /var/xapi/state.db But I don''t know, how I can changes the Config File: usb=1 usbdevice="host:xxxx:yyyy" And the Dom''s must start with the parameter.

You''re likely to find more knowledge about XenEnterprise on the forums at XenSource (http://forums.xensource.com). You''re welcome to ask questions about it here, but most people here use the open source version of Xen instead and they don''t know about XenEnterprise Fiddling with the config files is a standard thing to do under Open Source Xen but I''m not sure it''s recommended for XenEnterprise... If something isn''t exposed through the managment tools, then I doubt it''s officially supported so Your Mileage May Vary. I''m not sure what config file format XenEnterprise uses; it''s almost certainly different, so I''m not sure how you''d specify this sort of thing to be honest. Sorry not to be more helpful!
