[Xen-users] ''xm create'' failing @ "Unable to retrieve ..." if "bootproto=static"
hi,
i''ve xen distro-installed on a centos51 Dom0 host,
yum list | grep xen
kernel-xen.x86_64 2.6.18-53.1.4.el5 installed
xen.x86_64 3.0.3-41.el5 installed
xen-libs.x86_64 3.0.3-41.el5 installed
the cpu is an hvm-capable, amd64 x2.
i''m attempting to setup a DomU guest ("test") using
''xm''. using
"bootproto=dhcp" works; using "bootproto=static" fails for
me.
clearly, I''ve misconfigured something network-y -- i''m
guessing
bridging -- but i''m unclear as to what. maybe centos? maybe need a
newer version of xen?
any hints are appreciated, thanks!
relevant details follow:
for an xmdomain config using "bootproto=dhcp",
cat /etc/xen/test
name = "test"
kernel = "/root/xen/kerns/centos51/vmlinuz"
ramdisk = "/root/xen/kerns/centos51/initrd.img"
disk = [
''phy:/dev/VGDomU/test,xvda,w'',''file:/root/xen/test/installer.iso,hdc:cdrom,r''
]
extra = "lang=en_US.UTF-8 keyboard=us
timezone=America/New_York bootproto=dhcp
method=http://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/5.1/os/x86_64"
maxmem = 256
memory = 256
vcpus = 1
nic = 1
on_poweroff = "destroy"
on_reboot = "restart"
on_crash = "restart"
vfb = ['''']
vif = [ "mac=aa:cc:00:00:00:01,bridge=xenbr0" ]
boot = ''d''
vnc = 1
@console i see
"Retrieving images/minstg2.img ..."
then,
"Welcome to CentOS"
and, from there, the install proceeds to completion.
but if i try "bootproto=static", changing
cat /etc/xen/test
...
extra = "lang=en_US.UTF-8 keyboard=us
timezone=America/New_York bootproto=static ip=10.0.0.100
gateway=10.0.0.1 nameserver=10.0.0.1
method=http://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/5.1/os/x86_64"
...
setup hangs @,
"Unable to retrieve http://.../images/minstg2.img."
and goes no further.
