Hello all,
Having installed 2x XCP hosts and added them to a resource pool, configured
shared storage and generally got ready for operations, I''m currently
struggling to see anything meaningful of my VM''s!!!
I started installing centos form template, but couldn''t connect to the
instance that (successfully) created to complete installation, so, on the
suggestion of a user here, I''ve imported the xvp appliance, but
can''t connect
to the console to complete the config.
I''m getting :
xenconsole: could not read tty from store: no such file or directory
Now, a cursory google of the above message generally seems to tell me
xenconsoled is not running, but I''ve tried running it again, and
verified its
running by :
[root@xen01 ~]# ps ax | grep xenconsoled
6448 ? Sl 0:00 /usr/sbin/xenconsoled
But still no joy!
Anybody got any ideas on what I should try next? I''ve checked what
I''ve found
to be the usual suspects and just can not make my way past this first vital
step, so I can actually connect to the VMs I create and can complete
installations etc.
If it helps, the params of the appliance I''m trying to connect to
follows.
Many thanks!
Ciaran.

I''m just trying to use xenconsole. I''ve disabled vnc in the vm by adding other_config:disable_pv_vnc=1, so just trying to connect to the text console. I''ve actually started trying to add openxenmanager but had a problem compiling with python, it could not find the gtkvnc module, I chatted to the developer and they said they''ve never tried compiling/installing it on a dom0 before, only ever from a vm. But that''s my "catch 22", I need either openxenmanager/xvp appliance so that I can connect to a (any) vm I''ve created, but it seems I need a vm in order to compile the tools I need to connect with!!!! I thought the xvp appliance import would be the solution, but not able to connect with xenconsole as per previous error. Will read those docs right now and see if they shed any light, I''m sure its something simple that I haven''t done (haven''t done ANY "tweaking" of XCP hosts....), so if anyone has any ideas, they would be very much appreciated!
