Hi I am a first time user of XCP. I have installed XCP 1.4.90 on a PC. I am interested in setting up a cloud where the instances will run node.js to provide websockets for a hobby project I''m working on. I installed a Maverick Meerkat 64bit vm and it works but I can''t get it to work with openxenmanager so instead I am trying Debian Squeeze but vm-start fails with INVALID_SOURCE. (see below) Thanks for any help, -Kevin [root@xenserver-octopus ~]# xe vm-install template=Debian\ Squeeze\ 6.0\ \(64-bit\) new-name-label=HelloDebian d541ca58-ffcf-e512-0808-7d6d4f09150d [root@xenserver-octopus ~]# xe vif-create network-uuid=5ad5dd35-31b0-5510-b050-7c9b362df98b vm-uuid=d541ca58-ffcf-e512-0808-7d6d4f09150d device=0 23d16150-1ff2-3f61-fa4c-35711e374cb9 [root@xenserver-octopus ~]# xe vm-param-set uuid=d541ca58-ffcf-e512-0808-7d6d4f09150d other-config:install-repository=http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ [root@xenserver-octopus ~]# xe vm-start uuid=d541ca58-ffcf-e512-0808-7d6d4f09150d Error code: INVALID_SOURCE Error parameters: Unable to access a required file in the specified repository: http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/squeeze/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/xen/vmlinuz., , [root@xenserver-octopus ~]#

Are you actually able to access that file from the server you''re trying it on? Might be a network issue or firewall in the way. Try: wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/squeeze/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/xen/vmlinuz and see if that works.
Kevin, the xen-api list is the best place to ask questions for XCP. I am CC''ing the list. It''s not the best named list and we are looking to rename it, but it is not entirely straightforward and may take a little.

You were right it was just a network issue. I tried it again this morning and it worked. Thanks very much. -Kevin>> [root@xenserver-octopus ~]# xe vm-start >> uuid=d541ca58-ffcf-e512-0808-7d6d4f09150d >> Error code: INVALID_SOURCE >> Error parameters: Unable to access a required file in the specified >> repository: http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/squeeze/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/xen/vmlinuz., >> , >> [root@xenserver-octopus ~]# >> > > At first glance your try seems okay.
