[Xen-users] Problem starting Windows guests: Domain unable to be unpaused: an integer is required
Hello everybody,
I have a problem starting Windows (and also Linux) guests since at least 1
month so far.
Every time I start my XEN dom0 (at the time when no guests are running)
and I try to start a windows domU, I get the following message:
# xm start windows-xp
Error: Domain unable to be unpaused: an integer is required
Usage: xm start <DomainName>
Start a Xend managed domain
-p, --paused Do not unpause domain after starting it
-c, --console_autoconnect Connect to the console after the domain
is created
--vncviewer Connect to display via VNC after the
domain is created
--vncviewer-autopass Pass VNC password to viewer via stdin and
-autopass
I don''t understand why this happens, since I didn''t modify
anything.
The strange fact for me is "The domain is unable to be unpaused".
Nobody paused any domain!
What does it happens?
This problem happens also when I try to start a Linux guest.
The domain starts paused, but in this case it''s easy to restore the
VM running status, since it is sufficient to do:
xm unpause domain_number
or
wait until it unblocks by itself.
Thank you,
--

It seems this problem disappears uninstalling virt-manager and libvirt, but I''m not able to start windows guest anyway. # xm create /mnt/vmstore/windows-xp/windows-xp.cfg Using config file "/mnt/vmstore/windows-xp/windows-xp.cfg". Error: Domain ''windows-xp'' does not exist. I know it doesn''t exist, xm list doesn''t list any window-xp domain! But I use xm create for this reason! Linux guests run very well.
