How to install pv guests with tap2:aio for remus
Hi Guys,
I''m working with:
1. xen 4.1;
2. dom0 ubuntu kernel 3.2
I''m trying to run remus with disk replication (I can run without disk
replication). But I read I need to use tap2 <
http://nss.cs.ubc.ca/remus/doc.html>.
Well... first I tried to create a pv guest. Then I take this guest.cfg:
1. name = "ubuntu-ha"
2. memory = 256
3. disk =
[''tap*2*:tapdisk:aio:/var/lib/xen/images/ubuntu-ha.img,xvda,w'']
4. vif = ['' '']
5. kernel = "/var/lib/xen/images/ubuntu-netboot/vmlinuz"
6. ramdisk = "/var/lib/xen/images/ubuntu-netboot/initrd.gz"
7. extra = "debian-installer/exit/always_halt=true -- console=hvc0"
And I run "xm console guest.cfg -c" and I get the following error:
- Error: (''create'',
''-aaio:/var/lib/xen/images/ubuntu-ha.img'') failed
(55808 blktap kernel module not installed )
Others stuffs:
1. There is ''blktap'' in /etc/modules (Is there blktap2 and
I must put
there?);
2. In line 3, I tried "disk
[''tap*2*:aio:/var/lib/xen/images/ubuntu-ha.img,xvda,w'']
and I got the same error;
3. I also tried "disk
[''tap:aio:/var/lib/xen/images/ubuntu-ha.img,xvda,w'']" or
"disk
[''tap:tapdisk:aio:/var/lib/xen/images/ubuntu-ha.img,xvda,w'']"
and I got the
following error in boot: "XENBUS: Waiting for devices to initialise:
295s...290s...285s...280s...". I even can do some steps, but the OS
installation advises that no disk drive was detected. I expected this.
4. Could I run remus with disk replication using "disk
[''*file*:/var/lib/xen/images/ubuntu-ha.img,xvda,w'']"?
Case yes, how to do this?
Does someone have a suggestion?
Thanks
