[Xen-users] Problems creating hvm guest after dom0 reboot
Hi,
I have some trouble to create hvm machines. Xen just tell me that the domain
creation failed:
# xm create /etc/xen/xenwin2008
Using config file "/etc/xen/xenwin2008".
Error: Creating domain failed: name=xenwin2008
The last time i had this error there was some trouble with ne vif line, but
the configuration worked perfectly until I had to restart my system (and
change the netmask of the eth0 interface from 255.255.255.248 to 240. But
that should not be a problem for xen?).
here is my configuration:
import os, re
arch = os.uname()[4]
if re.search(''64'', arch):
arch_libdir = ''lib64''
else:
arch_libdir = ''lib''
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen-3.2-1/boot/hvmloader"
builder=''hvm''
memory = 1600
extid=0
stdvga=0
# Should be at least 2KB per MB of domain memory, plus a few MB per vcpu.
shadow_memory = 8
name = "xenwin2008"
vif = [ ''type=ioemu, bridge=eth0'' ]
acpi = 1
apic = 1
disk = [ ''file:/.../xenwin2008.img,hda,w'',
''file:/some.win.2k8.iso,hdc:cdrom,r'' ]
device_model = ''/usr/'' + arch_libdir +
''/xen-3.2-1/bin/qemu-dm''
boot="dc"
vnc=1
vnclisten = ''aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa''
vncunused=0
vncpasswd=''somepasswort''
the files /usr/lib/xen-3.2-1/boot/hvmloader and
usr/lib64/xen-3.2-1/bin/qemu-dm are present.
I think the network settings are ok:
# brctl show
bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces
eth0 8000.00304863b6a2 no peth0
and here is the output of the xend logfile:

AW: [Xen-users] Problems creating hvm guest after dom0 reboot
Hi,
does nobody has an idea? Or is everything correct and xen does strange
things? Maybe a restart of xen can help?
I even tried to start a hvm minimal guest, build with the example
configuration resulting in the same problem.
Greetings Daniel
