[Xen-users] virt-manager 0.8.2 local ISO and PXE boot install option greyed out on 2.6.32.27 pv-ops Dom0 kernel
Hi, I just installed a pv-ops Dom0 2.6.32.27 Kernel on a 64 bit non VT machine. Following instructions here http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/Xen4.0 for 64 bit Ubuntu 10.04 apt-get install bcc bin86 gawk bridge-utils iproute libcurl3 libcurl4-openssl-dev bzip2 module-init-tools transfig tgif texinfo texlive-latex-base texlive-latex-recommended texlive-fonts-extra texlive-fonts-recommended pciutils-dev mercurial build-essential make gcc libc6-dev zlib1g-dev python python-dev python-twisted libncurses5-dev patch libvncserver-dev libsdl-dev libjpeg62-dev iasl libbz2-dev e2fslibs-dev git-core uuid-dev ocaml libx11-dev bison flex apt-get install gcc-multilib apt-get install xz-utils make xen make tools make install-xen make install-tools PYTHON_PREFIX_ARG I did not do make install-stubdom. It is a Ubuntu Desktop 10.04 amd64 bit version. Then as mentioned here on this guide http://bderzhavets.wordpress.com/2010/03/26/virst-installvirt-manager-at-xen-4-0-rc8-2-6-32-10-pvops-dom0-on-top-ubuntu-karmic-koala-server/ (I did not follow the above guide strictly) Commented out (xend-unix-server yes) in /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp , here is my xend-config.sxp http://pastebin.com/M8CfrqBc Then exported variable VIRSH_DEFAULT_CONNECT_URI=”xen:///” in root’s .bashrc. Then :- # apt-get install ubuntu-virt-server ubuntu-virt-mgmt Now when I open virt-manager the option to install from Local ISO or PXE are greyed out. virt-manager version is 0.8.2 Let me know if there is any possibility of improvement so that I can get the option of install from Local ISO here. -- http://mightydreams.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Most (or perhaps all?) Linux distro can''t be installed in paravirtualized (PV) mode using local ISO/CDROM, so virt-manager does not allow that option (for simplicity, maybe). Full virtualization (HVM) mode allows you to install from ISO/CDROM, but it needs hardware virtualization support (VT/AMD-V). Also, virt-manager is not part of Xen. It''s a separate virtualization management software. So if you have problems with virt-manager you might have better luck asking on their list/forum. -- Fajar _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Do I need to compile DomU kernels for PV guests or do some thing special for having a PV guests. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

My system is 64 bit non VT. I checked a guide of yours here http://bderzhavets.wordpress.com/2010/06/02/setup-libvirt-0-8-0-xen-4-0-on-top-of-ubuntu-10-04-server-via-daniel-baumann-virtualization-ppa/ where at the last you mention virsh version on your blog which shows using Xen in my case it is the same thing that I mentioned. I had installed via aptitude install ubuntu-virt-server aptitude install ubuntu-virt-mgmt but I do not have in my sources Daniel Baumans PPA which you used. Let me know if we need to dig any thing more on my machine. I feel creating a PV guest on a PV-Dom0 should not be that difficult.

KVM is mostly similar to HVM. They both require VT/AMD-V. You said you don''t have VT. PV is different. Now did you REALLY see "virt-manager gives an option to install a PV guest or HVM guest and they use the same ISO which one downloads from the vendors site" on a machine with no VT capability? -- Fajar _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

The machine which I have access to is non VT.So I had seen virt-manager use there. So I mentioned> PV is different. > Now did you REALLY see "virt-manager gives an option to > install a PV guest or HVM guest and they use the same ISO which one > downloads from the vendors site" on a machine with no VT capability?No I did not (I am not in a position to verify it right now) but I most certainly will try it as the machine with VT is in my work place and is a production server.So to verify for this thread might take some time. I am attaching a snapshot in this mail this is on my machine where I am trying all this on a non VT 64 bit machine.(Which is where I have all the freedom to do).If you see in the snapshot (taken form this non VT machine) virt-manager gives an option to install para virtualized guest. Which in my case is failing and is the reason I asked this question here. It mentions virtualization type xen(paravirt) since this is a non VT machine so I do not get the HVM option (simply should not).I personally feel creation of a guest OS should not be that difficult on a non VT 64 bit machine also. If the gui does not work then command lines should work without any problems. -- _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Every guest is an HVM guest. But you can install paravirt drivers for network and storage I/O. There''s no difference between a normal OS kernel and a KVM guest OS kernel. It''s very different setup from Xen. Thus, every install into a KVM guest is a normal OS install. -- Freddie Cash fjwcash@gmail.com _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I would like to know if there is some way this problem can be debugged since virt-install has also failed. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Once it''s bootstrapped and what-not, the we create the VM manually in virt-manger, and tell it to import the existing install. Alternatively, if you have access to a network installer and a local repo mirror, virt-manager supports that. Gives you a similar result to using xen-tools, but with an "installer" process similar to an ISO install. We''ve moved to this setup for our Debian VMs. -- Freddie Cash fjwcash@gmail.com _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
