[Xen-users] Accessing VM consoles in XCP and bootloader error message(pci passthrough)
Hi,
Two questions which I am unable to find an answer to(Iam testing pci
passthrough in xcp0.1.1)
1. I installed XCP 0.1.1 and installed Debian Lenny 5.0(followed the steps
mentioned in xenwiki).
2. xe vm-list lists it correctly
[]# xe vm-list
uuid ( RO) : e9fb777a-5b47-3668-3d23-9d836dbb53da
name-label ( RW): Debian-lenny
power-state ( RO): running
uuid ( RO) : 43843b80-6c90-4d39-a178-31e7605e1b52
name-label ( RW): Control domain on host: xcp-nfcm36
power-state ( RO): running
3. I did xe vm-shutdown on Debian Lenny
4. xe vm-param-set uuid=e9fb777a-5b47-3668-3d23-9d836dbb53da
other-config:pci=0/0000:08:01.0(enabled pci passthrough)
5. pciback is installed in control domain.
6. I do xe vm-start, I get error messages as follows
[]# xe vm-start uuid=e9fb777a-5b47-3668-3d23-9d836dbb53da
The bootloader returned an error
vm: e9fb777a-5b47-3668-3d23-9d836dbb53da (Debian-lenny)
msg: Error from bootloader: Failed to parse the output of bootloader: ()
How do I fix this?
Second question, in xenwiki it mentions about accessing vm console
1. I typed in IP address of XCP host, I get following
Citrix Systems, Inc. XenCloudPlatform 0.1.1
XenCenter CD image <http://172.27.74.136/XenCenter.iso>
XenCenter installer <http://172.27.74.136/XenCenter.msi>
Click on either one, I get error. Do I need to install anything else in
control domain, I have installed base.iso only? how does one access VM
console(a.k.a debian lenny)?
Inputs appreciated.
Thanks

[Xen-users] Re: Accessing VM consoles in XCP and bootloader error message(pci passthrough)
Hi, I think the bootloader issue is probably due to VM(Debian Lenny) has not completed installation. From the following xenwiki http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/Command_Line_Interface I looked at Debian Lenny 5.0 Example(Step 7), I am not sure how to access VM console. I have firefox 3.6 with Java 6 update 15 installed in it. When I type in XCP IP address in web-browser I get Citrix Systems, Inc. XenCloudPlatform 0.1.1 XenCenter CD image <http://172.27.74.136/XenCenter.iso> XenCenter installer <http://172.27.74.136/XenCenter.msi> Click on either one, I get error. Do I need to install anything else in control domain, I have installed base.iso only? how does one access VM console(a.k.a debian lenny)? Any Inputs?

I think I figured out VM console access issue. I found a post in xen-users and testing it out now.
