[Xen-users] XEN guest VM config issue for windows 2003 installation
Hi,
Am trying to install windows 2003 server as a guest VM over
Xen 3.4.1 (installed on Fedora 11). When I executed "xm create",
It fails with the error message :
"Error: Domain ''win2k'' does not exist."
Upon digging deeper, I could find that Qemu-dm fails for the
Following reason :
<qemu-dm-logs>
domid: 48
qemu: the number of cpus is 4
-append only allowed with -kernel option
<qemu-dm-logs>
That Configuration that I Fed to XM Create :
<config>
kernel=''/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader''
builder=''hvm''
memory=''3092''
device_model=''/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm''
apic=1
acpi=1
root=''/dev/cciss/c0d0p2''
disk = [
''file:/home/xen/domains/win2003/win2003.img,ioemu:hda,w'',
''file:/home/xen/domains/win2003/win-install-cd1.iso,hdb:cdrom,r'']
# Hostname
name = ''win2k''
cpus = "0-4"
vcpus=4
<config>
Relevant Xend failure logs attached.
Can someone help spot the error in the configuration ?
Have a few specific questions :
1. Is the "root" configuration option important ? I see different
errors
including
it and excluding the same.
2. I suspect the "disk" configuration as well. I tried various
different
options,
But all of them failed.
Not sure if it is anything to do with the CCISS drivers again.
Can someone pls help ?
Thanks,
Madhu
