I am trying to run 2 xen virtual machines simultaneously.. I booted up the first virtual machine and its using xvc0 when i attach to its console.. My another virtual machine(domain) is created..There is no problem with that..when i do xm li, i could see 2 vm;s running.. But this process of booting another vm gets stuck in between as the vm waits for xvc0..Since its already used by another vm, the second vm creation via xm create is not going to completion.. How do i overcome this issue and enable logging into 2 virtual machines simultaneously ?? Please help me out. Thanking u in advance.. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

You can run two "xm console" process, each connects to a different domU, without a problem. So the question now is what do you mean by "But this process of booting another vm gets stuck in between as the vm waits for xvc0.." cause I never see a vm WAITs for xvc0. What usually happens is that you forget to create an inittab entry that spawns getty on xvc0. So following that, your statement "Since its already used by another vm, the second vm creation via xm create is not going to completion.." does not make sense, since one domU''s xvc0 is independent of other domUs. -- Fajar _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
