[Xen-users] Cant create new VM: Error -> ERROR (XendDomainInfo:445) VM start failed

Hi everyone,

i have a problem on a running xen installation. The server on which the
following problem occurs manages 7 VMs at the moment.
Now I wanted to create a new one. After sending the xm create command I get the
following error:

Using config file "/etc/xen/de-smartnet-asterisk".
Error: Creating domain failed: name=de-smartnet-asterisk

In my xend.log I can find the following entries:

I have absolutely no clue what these entries might tell me. I kind of lost and
have no idea where to start searching for an solution.

Is anyone out there who can guide me in the correct direction what is causing
these log entries?

With kind regards
Kai Zemke

Hello Kai,

Could you post your config file for this domain?

AW: [Xen-users] Cant create new VM: Error -> ERROR(XendDomainInfo:445) VM start failed

Hi Tait,

of course. I''ll post the configuration file for this domain.

Here we go:
-----------------
# general
name    = "de-smartnet-asterisk";
memory  = 128;
cpus = "2-7";
vcpus = 6;
#builder = "hvm"

kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz_domU"

extra=" root=/dev/sda1 xencons=tty"

disk = [ ''phy:images/de-smartnet-asterisk_ext3,sda1,w'' ];

# virtual network
vif = [ "ip=212.86.41.22,mac=00:16:3e:1b:65:13" ];

#vfb = [ ''type=vnc,vncunused=1'' ]
--------------------

Very simple. Worked for all previous Domains so far :)

This may seem like a ridiculous question, but have you always used semi colons
after some of the config options? And all your domains are using the exact same
config and are able to start and run properly?

Question for anyone - Is there any limit to the length of the domU name in the
config file?

All Doamins started with this kind of configuration. Only the settings for the
IP, Mac and disk are changing.

AW: [Xen-users] Cant create new VM: Error -> ERROR(XendDomainInfo:445) VM start failed

Hi,

this problem still exists. Is anyone out there who ever encountered a similar
problem and who might give me some hints on what I can do about this?

As mentioned earlier in my mail, I absolutely have no clue what caused this
behaviour.

When I start want to start a new vm using the "xm create" command I
get the following entries in my xend.log.

There are 7 Vms running at this time. I also deleted a running vm and tried to
recreate it with no changes in the cfg file. Now this VMs won''t start
anymore, and leaves the same messages in the log file.
