[Xen-users] XCP 1.0 beta : NOOB: how do i log into a newly created VM?
Hi:
Sorry for the basic NOOB question but I managed to create a VM but now I
am stuck. On page 26 of the XCP Virtual Machine Installation Guide it
says "VNC and perform the OS installation". I tried everything I could
find (listed below) but I am stuck. Any help would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Here are two questions whose answers would really help:
1. What is the IP address of my VM? I tried "xe vm-list
params=all"
but didn''t see it.
2. How can I log into my VM?
I created the VM on my XCP host using the following commands:
% xe template-list -s 10.45.2.100 -pw test | grep -B 1 ''CentOS
5.5''
% xe vm-install template=''CentOS 5.5 (64-bit)''
new-name-label=''vm001'' -s
10.45.2.100 -pw test
% xe network-list -s 10.45.2.100 -pw test
% xe network-list bridge=xenbr0 --minimal -s 10.45.2.100 -pw test
% xe vif-create \
network-uuid=8d77c968-f362-befa-fc57-92d63d656e1d \
vm-uuid=0409c60f-d209-1105-e884-9a25dd238430 \
device=0 \
-s 10.45.2.100 -pw test
% cp -v
/net-install/centos/5.5/isos.DVD/CentOS-5.5-x86_64-bin-DVD/CentOS-5.5-x8
6_64-bin-DVD-*.iso /opt/tcc/master/http/iso
% mkdir -p /mnt/CentOS-5.5-x86_64-bin-DVD-1of2
% mount -o loop
/opt/tcc/master/http/iso/CentOS-5.5-x86_64-bin-DVD-1of2.iso
/mnt/CentOS-5.5-x86_64-bin-DVD-1of2
% cp -p -r /mnt/CentOS-5.5-x86_64-bin-DVD-1of2 /opt/tcc/master/http/os
% xe vm-param-set \
uuid=0409c60f-d209-1105-e884-9a25dd238430 \
other-config:install-repository=http://10.45.2.1/tcc/os/CentOS-5.5-x86_6
4-bin-DVD-1of2 \
-s 10.45.2.100 -pw test
% xe vm-start uuid=0409c60f-d209-1105-e884-9a25dd238430 -s 10.45.2.100
-pw test
% xe vm-list -s 10.45.2.100 -pw test
uuid ( RO) : f32bcb5b-f55f-419a-8d08-7f9d1b3f0833
name-label ( RW): Control domain on host: tcc-lab-2-xcp01
power-state ( RO): running
uuid ( RO) : 0409c60f-d209-1105-e884-9a25dd238430
name-label ( RW): vm001
power-state ( RO): running
At this point it appears that everything is working but I don''t know
what to do next. I tried the following to access via VNC
% ssh -X -L 5901:127.0.0.1:5901 -L 5902:127.0.0.1:5902 -L
5999:127.0.0.1:5999 root@10.45.2.100
% xe vm-list uuid=0409c60f-d209-1105-e884-9a25dd238430 params=dom-id
% xenstore-ls /local/domain/1/serial/0
limit = "65536"
tty = "/dev/pts/2"
vncterm-pid = "19363"
vnc-port = "5901"
With that information I tried "vncviewer -listen 5901" and
"vncviewer
localhost:5901". Neither command worked.
Thank you,
Joe

Joe, This isn''t that NOOB of a question, as I had a problem with this myself a couple weeks ago ;) You almost had the correct command at the end, but you need to run your vnc client like this: vncviewer -via root@<XenServer hostname or IP> localhost::<vnc-port> Note the double colons -- that''s the syntax for specifying the IP port number, as opposed to the vnc port number. Also, you don''t need to There is a Citrix knowledge base article that explains the vnc part, but, unfortunately, it leaves you in the dark about how to figure out what vnc port to use for which guest.

Ha! That''s funny I left that in there. Of course it worked every time
for me, since dt26 is my test machine ;)
I''ve fixed that bug, and also made the change to add selection of host
by uuid. Have a good weekend.

At this point it appears that everything is working but I don''t know
what to do next. I tried the following to access via VNC
% ssh -X -L 5901:127.0.0.1:5901 -L 5902:127.0.0.1:5902 -L 5999:127.0.0.1:5999

% xe vm-list uuid=0409c60f-d209-1105-e884-9a25dd238430 params=dom-id
% xenstore-ls /local/domain/1/serial/0
limit = "65536"
tty = "/dev/pts/2"
vncterm-pid = "19363"
vnc-port = "5901"
With that information I tried "vncviewer -listen 5901" and
"vncviewer localhost:5901". Neither command worked.
Thank you,
Joe

RE: [Xen-users] XCP 1.0 beta : NOOB: how do i log into a newlycreated VM?
Hi Mike:
Your new script works great. Note that I made one change to the usage section to
credit you as the author.
Thanks again and have a great weekend.
Cheers,
Joe

Ha! That''s funny I left that in there. Of course it worked every time
for me, since dt26 is my test machine ;)
I''ve fixed that bug, and also made the change to add selection of host
by uuid. Have a good weekend.

Hi Mike:
Just a quick follow up. It worked perfectly, thanks.
Made one minor change to the script. The last line s/b:
vncviewer -via root@${xs} localhost::${port}
instead of
vncviewer -via root@dt26 localhost::${port}
Cheers,
Joe

Joe,
This isn''t that NOOB of a question, as I had a problem with this myself
a couple weeks ago ;) You almost had the correct command at the end, but you
need to run your vnc client like this:
vncviewer -via root@<XenServer hostname or IP> localhost::<vnc-port>
Note the double colons -- that''s the syntax for specifying the IP port
number, as opposed to the vnc port number. Also, you don''t need to
There is a Citrix knowledge base article that explains the vnc part, but,
unfortunately, it leaves you in the dark about how to figure out what vnc port
to use for which guest. Reading directly from xenstore, as you''ve done,
is the best way that I know how.
http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX124451
I''ve attached a bash script that does all this for you. It uses the VM
name-label, not uuid, but you could modify it to use whichever you prefer.
Please let me know if you find any problems with it.
Mike

Subject: [Xen-users] XCP 1.0 beta : NOOB: how do i log into a newly created VM?
Hi:
Sorry for the basic NOOB question but I managed to create a VM but now I am
stuck. On page 26 of the XCP Virtual Machine Installation Guide it says
"VNC and perform the OS installation". I tried everything I could find
(listed below) but I am stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in
advance.
Here are two questions whose answers would really help:
1. What is the IP address of my VM? I tried "xe vm-list params=all"
but didn''t see it.
2. How can I log into my VM?
I created the VM on my XCP host using the following commands:
% xe template-list -s 10.45.2.100 -pw test | grep -B 1 ''CentOS
5.5''
% xe vm-install template=''CentOS 5.5 (64-bit)''
new-name-label=''vm001'' -s 10.45.2.100 -pw test % xe
network-list -s 10.45.2.100 -pw test % xe network-list bridge=xenbr0 --minimal
-s 10.45.2.100 -pw test % xe vif-create \
network-uuid=8d77c968-f362-befa-fc57-92d63d656e1d \
vm-uuid=0409c60f-d209-1105-e884-9a25dd238430 \
device=0 \
-s 10.45.2.100 -pw test
% cp -v
/net-install/centos/5.5/isos.DVD/CentOS-5.5-x86_64-bin-DVD/CentOS-5.5-x86_64-bin-DVD-*.iso
/opt/tcc/master/http/iso % mkdir -p /mnt/CentOS-5.5-x86_64-bin-DVD-1of2
% mount -o loop /opt/tcc/master/http/iso/CentOS-5.5-x86_64-bin-DVD-1of2.iso
/mnt/CentOS-5.5-x86_64-bin-DVD-1of2
% cp -p -r /mnt/CentOS-5.5-x86_64-bin-DVD-1of2 /opt/tcc/master/http/os % xe
vm-param-set \

% xe vm-start uuid=0409c60f-d209-1105-e884-9a25dd238430 -s 10.45.2.100 -pw test
% xe vm-list -s 10.45.2.100 -pw test uuid ( RO) :

uuid ( RO) : 0409c60f-d209-1105-e884-9a25dd238430
name-label ( RW): vm001
power-state ( RO): running
At this point it appears that everything is working but I don''t know
what to do next. I tried the following to access via VNC
% ssh -X -L 5901:127.0.0.1:5901 -L 5902:127.0.0.1:5902 -L 5999:127.0.0.1:5999
root@10.45.2.100 % xe vm-list uuid=0409c60f-d209-1105-e884-9a25dd238430
params=dom-id % xenstore-ls /local/domain/1/serial/0 limit = "65536"
tty = "/dev/pts/2"
vncterm-pid = "19363"
vnc-port = "5901"
With that information I tried "vncviewer -listen 5901" and
"vncviewer localhost:5901". Neither command worked.
Thank you,
Joe
