Those commands you typed are just for starting the install process of the VM. After the VM is running (you can verify with xe vm-list power-state=running) you have to vnc the new VM. I used to do this with ssh -R (see http://xen.insert-coin.org/doku.php?id=conexion_gui_a_las_maquinas_virtuales. it''s in spanish.. but it''s easy to read :P) I used a local centos repository we have at work, but vault.centos.org is OK.

Hi, Use openxenmanager <http://www.openxenmanager.com/> to see whats going on in your XCP pool. Using it you will be able to install vm and no need of ssh tunnel.

Hi, Instead of replying personally please reply to list, by this it might help others to solve similar difficulties. I use openxenmanager for ubuntu and have no issues it with... however if it is not running on windows then try citrix manager for windows. Installing VNC on XCP wont help as the vnc of VM runs on SSL and in a secure way. Its quite different from a regular VNC server client. another way is to connect to XCP master via web browser and then selecting the installed VM. XAPI has the java vnc applet which will connect you easily to VM console. Hope this helps.

Yes, it should be possible - you have to create the RAID device (mdadm in case you don''t have HW RAID adapter) at first (if the disks are occupied with existing Storage Repository, you have to safely remove it - xe pbd-unplug, xe sr-destroy) and then create Storare Repository on that new raid device using the xe command in console ( xe sr-create).
