RE: [Xen-users] Question: Solaris 10 10/09 HVM on 64-bit Centos 5.4 Dom0 vs Suse 11.3
Mr. Earls, You wrote :- When running as root, it then allows me to create new VMs, but only using a network install (http,ftp,nfs), not using either local media or a network pxfe boot. Via my experience with Sasha Gunters''s src.rpms for RHEL and even xen-3.4.3-X-fc13.src.rpm on F12 behave same way. I mean after install libvirt related stuff on Fedora 12, virt-manager appears to be affected exactly you wrote. You may double check it :- 1. Install clean CentOS 5.4 2. Enable www.gitco''s repo 3.4.2 3. yum groupinstall Virtualization That''s why it was suggested to run virt-install for creating HVM S10U8. Virt-manager may be used for managing any kind of DomUs , but only virt-install utility stays completely functional in regards of setups. Issue was fixed only on F13 (Libvirt 0.8.2) View :- http://wiki.xen.org/xenwiki/Xen4.0 Tutorials to install Xen 4.0 * Xen 4.0 on Fedora 13: http://bderzhavets.wordpress.com/2010/05/18/set-up-libvirt-0-7-7xen-4-0-on-top-fedora-13-rc2/ Thank you. Boris. BTW , zfs-24 support patch by Mark Johnson may be back ported to 3.4.3 gitco''s src.rpm . Gitco''s Xen 3.4.3 rpms rebuilt and installed having active repo 3.4.3 to run OSOL 134 as PV Guest on CentOS xen-kernel.

Before re-installing, virt-manager would ask for root password before executing, to give itself proper privileges for creating new VMs and such; now it no longer does, and cannot create new VMs. When running as root, it then allows me to create new VMs, but only using a network install (http,ftp,nfs), not using either local media or a network pxfe boot. Is this normal, or did I do something wrong when installing to 3.4.2?
