[Xen-users] Trying to clone one client to another host, but would like to configure the LVM disc aforehand
Dear all,
I want to install a Xen client on a host. We have several other
clients installed. I have searched on Google, but am unable to find a
guide that would help me installing the O/S; these always refer to GUIs
which is of no use. The O/S is SLES 10.
I want to prepare the disc so that when I boot an O/S it will find the
logical volumes already set-up and ready to use. This is because I am
trying to clone an existing Xen client currently on another Xen host.
However, I cannot even find how to boot the kernel. I don''t want to
use
a UI, only CLI and manually editing files:- Why? Using a GUI or UI is no
use when all I have is a dumb terminal.
Does anyone know of any URLs that I could refer to?
Best wishes, J.

Re: [Xen-users] Trying to clone one client to another host, but would like to configure the LVM disc aforehand
Hi Pasi, I am referring to the virtual machines. I get confused by the Xen terms client and host. I understand Xen server that runs Xen hosts, and this is why my Email might confused people. I have serveral servers that run Xen, and these servers have Xen hosts running. Such as: Server name: app-044 (runs SLES) Contains several Xen hosts on it each running SLES:- app-xen-101 app-xen-121 app-xen-102 app-xen-104 I want to clone the host app-xen-102 onto another Server called app-164. The new xen host would be called app-xen-178. Pasi Kärkkäinen wrote:> On Mon, Mar 22, 2010 at 02:39:31PM +0100, J4 wrote: >> Dear all, >> >> I want to install a Xen client on a host.

Thank-you Pasi. I have done this. What about the MAC address? vif=[ ''mac=00:16:3e:37:3f:00'', ] Will changing this line change the hardware address the guest will see. ( I know that I have to update the files in /etc/sysconfig/network etc). JK.

Re: [Xen-users] Trying to clone one client to another host, but would like to configure the LVM disc aforehand
Hi, I copied the config file over from one machine to another along with the disc image. The file is now in /etc/xen/vm. I noticed that some xen config files have an associated .xml file, but this one did not. Should I create an xml file, is the xml file really needed, or is there a utilty to convert the file into a corresponding .xml file. My question is how to have Xen recognise this configuration and boot it. The command ''xm list'' does not show the new guest.
