Xen users - Jun 2009 - Xen Installation Problem

Hi All,

When I was tring to use Yast(Opensuse 11.1) to Create Virtual Machine, Yast
can start the virtual machine installation process but cannot find any disk,
so the installation fails. I encountered the same problem when installing
Windows XP and Opensuse.

Do I need to create a virtualized disk first? Or how can I specify which
disk to install?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

With Yast, you have to define your disk. If you choose a physical
device, it must exists. If you choose a file, it is not nessary to
create it before use.
(I use opensuse 11.1 too and it was OK with these domU: w2k8, w7, opensuse 11.1)

To define your domU   : Yast --> Virtualisation --> Créer des machines
virtuelles
In english (supposed) : Yast --> Virtualisation --> Create virtual
machines

Hope it helps,
