XCP-1.5-beta-base-53341 installing and starting Debian Squeeze 6.0 (64-bit) VM
xen-users:
I''m a Xen/XCP newbie who has installed XCP-1.5-beta-base-53341 on a
desktop computer (Intel DQ67SWB3 motherboard, i7-2600S CPU, and 8 GB
RAM) and is attempting to create a "Debian Squeeze 6,0 (64-bit)" VM
per
"Xen Cloud Platform Virtual Machine Installation Guide":
http://xen.org/files/XenCloud/guest.pdf
2012-05-01 17:43:32 root@i72600s ~
# xe vm-install template="Debian Squeeze 6.0 (64-bit)"
new-name-label=squeeze64
09f2ce06-e8ec-877b-204c-db40606c1e3f
2012-05-01 18:02:31 root@i72600s ~
# xe vm-param-set uuid=09f2ce06-e8ec-877b-204c-db40606c1e3f
other-config:install-repository=http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian
2012-05-01 18:03:12 root@i72600s ~
# xe vm-start uuid=09f2ce06-e8ec-877b-204c-db40606c1e3f
After several minutes the shell prompt appears again. The Guide
indicates that it should have "... [booted] straight into the Debian
installer".
Fumbling around, it appears that the VM is running:
2012-05-01 18:05:56 root@i72600s ~
# xe vm-list
uuid ( RO) : 09f2ce06-e8ec-877b-204c-db40606c1e3f

power-state ( RO): running

name-label ( RW): Control domain on host: i72600s
power-state ( RO): running
Attempting to connect to the console:
2012-05-01 17:38:28 root@i72600s ~
# xe console vm=squeeze64
Connecting to console on VM squeeze64. Press Ctrl + '']'' to
quit.
The console hangs. Pressing Ctrl + '']'' gets the shell prompt
back.
Taking a look at /var/log/xensource.log:

Hi David, The xen-api@ list is a better bet for XCP questions (this isn''t obvious, I agree). I''ve CC''d that list (and for that reason not trimmed quotes, I''ve made another comment inline below).

It''s possible that you''ve missed some output and the installer is sitting waiting for input. This is unlikely though -- any output from before you connect ought to have been buffered at least somewhat, I''m mostly familiar with the xl toolstack stuff so maybe XCP does something different.
