[Xen-users] XCP-1.0-base-38754 how to create Debian 6.0.0 Squeeze VM?
xen-users:
I''m a Xen newbie who has installed XCP-1.0-base-38754 on a testing
server and would like to create a Debian 6.0.0 Squeeze virtual machine
(VM), preferably from the DVD drive in the server. When I read:
http://www.xen.org/files/XenCloud/guest.pdf
It appears that XCP utilizes "templates" when creating new
VM''s. As
Squeeze was not released until after XCP-1.0, I assume that I will need
a Squeeze template for XCP (?). Is such available, and how do I get it
into XCP?
It appears that XCP uses 64-bit Linux. I assume it supports 64-bit
VM''s. Does it support 32-bit VM''s?
TIA,
David

Does it support 32-bit VM''s?The hypervisor is 64 bit, and the Dom0 is 32 bit, and yes it supports both 64 bit and 32 bit DomUs, but for 32 bit PAE DomUs you need to select a pae kernel (bigmem in debian parlance).> > > TIA, > > David > > _______________________________________________ > Xen-users mailing list > Xen-users@lists.xensource.com > http://lists.xensource.com/xen-usersGood Luck!

Import that NFS share as ISO library which can be done by "xe sr-create" or through openxenmanager. Then you can use a debian template to create VM and give installation path as the ISO. This should give you an easy installation :-)> It appears that XCP utilizes "templates" when creating new VM''s.

To use this template from the CLI, install your VM using vm-install, then set other-config-install-repository to the path to your network repository, e.g. http://<server>/<path> name-description ( RW): Template that allows VM installation from Xen-aware Debian-based distros. To use this template from the CLI, install your VM using vm-install, then set other-config-install-repository to the path to your network repository, e.g. http://<server>/<path> name-label ( RW): Debian Squeeze (64-bit) name-description ( RW): Template that allows VM installation from Xen-aware Debian-based distros.

To use this template from the CLI, install your VM using vm-install, then set other-config-install-repository to the path to your network repository, e.g. http://<server>/<path> name-label ( RW): Debian Lenny 5.0 (32-bit) name-description ( RW): Template that allows VM installation from Xen-aware Debian-based distros. To use this template from the CLI, install your VM using vm-install, then set other-config-install-repository to the path to your network repository, e.g. http://<server>/<path> So maybe you should use Debian Squeeze (32-bit) or Debian Squeeze (64-bit) as a template.

That''s a useful feature. I typically mount iso images under my mirror/ tree on my http server.

Lenny will work for my needs (Linux/ Apache/ MySQL/ Perl development and test).

[Xen-users] hvm reports "no bootable device" after install centos to sda
I have install a hvm domU from centos iso file. While finished to
installation, I reboot this hvm domU and boot it without iso dvd. Use
vnc client to connect to screen and it seems that:
-----------------------------------------------------
No bootable device
Boot from hard disk failed: could not read the boot disk
-----------------------------------------------------
My xen domU configuration file seems like the following:
