Hi,
I''m currently trying to install xapi on debian (unstable), following
the
following wiki page:
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XAPI_on_debian
1. Install squeeze 32-bits (it''s not specified on the wiki, but I guess
it wont work with 64-bit as the xapi *.deb files are for 32).
note: you must leave an unused 1mb partition somewhere when
creating your partitions or grub2 used in sid will complain
during the dist-upgrade. This will result into an unbootable
system. (at least it happened to me)
2. Edit sources.list to use unstable instead of squeeze
box# apt-get update
box# apt-get dist-upgrade
3. Add experimental sources, like in the following sources.list
----8<----------
deb http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/debian/ unstable main non-free
contrib
deb-src http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/debian/ unstable main
non-free contrib
deb http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/debian/ experimental main
non-free contrib
deb-src http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/debian/ experimental main
non-free contrib
----------->8---
4. apt-get install xen-hypervisor-4.1-amd64 linux-image-3.0.0-rc6-686-pae
5. apt-get install dkms linux-headers-3.0.0-rc6-686-pae stunnel hwdata
uuid-runtime
6. Download the debs from http://downloads.xen.org/XCP/debian/
box# wget http://downloads.xen.org/XCP/debian/blktap-dkms_0.1_all.deb
box# wget http://downloads.xen.org/XCP/debian/blktap_0.1-1_i386.deb
box# wget http://downloads.xen.org/XCP/debian/fe_0.1-1_i386.deb
box# wget http://downloads.xen.org/XCP/debian/squeezed_0.1-1_i386.deb

box# wget http://downloads.xen.org/XCP/debian/xapi_0.1-1_i386.deb
box# wget http://downloads.xen.org/XCP/debian/xen-sm_0.1-1_i386.deb
6b. Install the packages (that''s where it fails at the moment)
box# dpkg -i *deb

I''m noticing it''s talking about 2.6.39-2-686-pae kernel, but
here we use
3.0.0-rc6-686-pae.
Is the package outdated ?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Sébastien

I''ve cleaned up the wiki page a bit too. http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XAPI_on_debian I think I am running into a grub2 problem at the moment though. It won''t seem to boot to the Xen hypervisor (I''m grub blind since I am doing this over a serial connection that doesn''t show grub). I''ll try to work through the grub2 issue tomorrow, but any suggestions are welcome. here is the /etc/grub.d/20_linux_xen file that comes with debian unstable: http://pastebin.com/KivyRSsM Any ideas as to why it won''t boot into the Xen hypervisor? I''ve done this type of troubleshooting already: http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenCommonProblems#head-26434581604cc8357d9762aaaf040e8d87b37752 It can''t even insert the modules for xen-evtchn (no such device), which makes sense if (like I suspect) the Xen hypervisor is not actually there. Xen booting messages don''t show up in dmesg or /var/log/messages, so grub2 seems like the problem for sure.

I worked around this by renaming 20_linux_xen to 09_linux_xen, then running update-grub, to make sure that the xen entry was top of the list.

[Xen-users] XAPI on debian - openvswitch and ocfs2 support
Hi, Going deeper with my tests of xapi on debian, I would like to ask if there is any plan to support openvswitch for the network management and open-iscsi+multipath+ocfs2 as a backend for a vhd based SR ? -- For ocfs2 with iscsi the kernel module is already available in the kernel, you would just need to: box# apt-get install open-iscsi multipath-tools ocfs2-tools box# dpkg reconfigure ocfs2-tools Would it be possible to have a SR type ocfs2 acting like a nfs SR (using vhd files on ocfs2 instead of nfs), like for example: with multipath SR=`xe sr-create type=ocfs name-label=ocfs2 device-config:device=/dev/mapper/mpath0-part1 device-config:devicepath=/cloud/files` without SR=`xe sr-create type=ocfs name-label=ocfs2 device-config:device=/dev/sdc1 device-config:devicepath=/cloud/files` That would ofcs2 mount <device> somewhere on the system, and read/write the vhd files in <devicepath> subdirectory (or root of the device, if omitted) -- For openvswitch, seems the packages exists in the debian unstable repo, shouldn''t be a problem, except maybe for the datapath kernel module. I''m going to try it, something like apt-get install openvswitch-common openvswitch-datapath-source openvswitch-pki openvswitch-switch python-openvswitch -- Last question :) By default xend is started at boot, shouldn''t it be disabled when using xapi ?

Unfortunately, we don''t really have the capacity with this project to take on writing new storage backends. Right now, we''re just trying to get the existing backends working on Debian ;) If you have experience with ocfs2, and you''d like to give SR backend writing a try, please do! Take a look at the existing SRs, and come back to the list if you have any questions. Expanding the number of storage backends we provide is definitely something that we''re interested in.> For openvswitch, seems the packages exists in the debian unstable repo, > shouldn''t be a problem, > except maybe for the datapath kernel module.

It''s not the highest priority on our list, though, as we have a lot of other things to get working first, such as basic bridge networking.

We still need to automate this in the xapi install package. Go ahead and do it manually for now. Jon, Todd and I really appreciate you being an early adopter. Keep coming back with questions! Hopefully we''ll get some more brave souls out there to give this a go...

Looks like the EXTSR was a bit broken in a couple of ways. Firstly, you''ll need to add a ''PRIMARY_DISK'' line to /etc/xensource-inventory (now mentioned in the wiki page) Secondly, the path the the LVM tools was incorrect. I''ve fixed this in a new deb that I''ve uploaded to downloads.xen.org. Thirdly, I''ve added to the instructions that LVM2 needs to be installed. I''ve also fixed a bunch of other things in the debs that I''ve uploaded - please pull down the latest versions and install them.

Re: [Xen-users] Re: XAPI on debian - sr-create issue
Hi Jon,
I''ve applied the new deb files and added the primary disk entry to the
xensource-inventory file.
It looks like the error I had was related to the PRIMARY_DISK missing
setting.
I can now create a local SR, create a vdi, and a vbd, but if i try to
plug it to the dom0 (i''ve not configured any VM yet as I''m
trying the
different storage layers) I get ugly kernel messages.
Here is what i''ve done:
box# xe sr-create content-type=user type=ext name-label=local
device-config:device=/dev/sda3
66597906-20ae-5ec6-e60a-e0dec55df506
box # xe vdi-create sr-uuid=66597906-20ae-5ec6-e60a-e0dec55df506
name-label=testtest type=user virtual-size=20GiB
ca4ba7bd-2901-45fb-a3f5-18b7d78e0232
box# xe vm-list

box # xe vbd-create vm-uuid=03753e00-3514-296c-52e1-26ba8f1dd068
vdi-uuid=ca4ba7bd-2901-45fb-a3f5-18b7d78e0232 device=0 type=disk mode=rw
92a3b3bc-8b48-b13d-a53c-891c10fba1b9
box # xe vbd-plug uuid=92a3b3bc-8b48-b13d-a53c-891c10fba1b9
[hangs indefinitely]
doing a ctrl-c after one minute or so to get the shell back
Still, the device has been plugged as xvda appears in the dom0 and I can
fdisk it, mount it etc.
But there are not so nice messages in the dmesg, and If i try to attach
another vbd it doesn''t work anymore.

Now, on the box I have open-iscsi/multipath/ocfs2 running. So I''m going
to try again with all that
stuff disabled to check if nothing is conflicting...
But, In the meantime if you have an idea ? :)
Thanks,
