Hi all, I am using xen on centos 5.5 (host OS). I have also booted a virtual machine via xen (and the guest os i ve invoked is also centos ). Now i want to access a file (a tar file) which is outside the vm (in physical machine).. Can i use my usb inside the running vm ?? I am unable to download the file from net.. Please help me by providing some suggestions on how to do this. Thanks in advance.. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Apart from the problem of needed to configure USB passthrough, pretty well any method you would use on a real machine can be used on a virtualised one. Assuming you have networking working, then any network methods should work - FTP, RCP, SCP, NFS, etc, etc. -- Simon Hobson Visit http://www.magpiesnestpublishing.co.uk/ for books by acclaimed author Gladys Hobson.

Shutdown your guest, alter the memory allocation, start up your guest - it should now have more memory. There are ways to configure a guest with "on the fly" adjustable memory - this is the "ballooning" you will see referred to in the docs. But for now, just stick to static memory allocations until you get the hang of the basics. -- Simon Hobson Visit http://www.magpiesnestpublishing.co.uk/ for books by acclaimed author Gladys Hobson.
