Hi,
I tried to install a pv guest ubuntu by netinstall (see below) on a xen
host (centos6.3 + XEN4.2)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
mkdir -p /var/lib/xen/images/ubuntu-netboot cd
/var/lib/xen/images/ubuntu-netboot sudo wget
http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/xen/initrd.gz
sudo
wget
http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/xen/vmlinuz
Set up the initial guest configuration: /etc/xen/ubuntu.cfg
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
name = "ubuntu"memory = 512disk
[''phy:/dev/xen_vms/ubuntu,xvda,w'']vif = [''
'']kernel "/var/lib/xen/images/ubuntu-netboot/vmlinuz"ramdisk
"/var/lib/xen/images/ubuntu-netboot/initrd.gz"extra
"debian-installer/exit/always_halt=true -- console=hvc0"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[root@mypc ~]# xm create /etc/xen/ubuntu -c
Using config file "/etc/xen/ubuntu".
Started domain ubuntu (id=2)
[root@mypc ~]#
Then, nothing appeared and not installation went in progress.
I checked the xend-debug.log and found this error:

Any thoughts about this ? Is there any way to see the monitor the creation
process ?
Thx & best Regards

Yeah, sure...I''m not pressing. Sorry for the misunderstanding. :-) Rgds _Jm _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xen.org http://lists.xen.org/xen-users
H Ian, "xm list" listed only the Dom0. I''ll try to do it with xl command instead of xm and post the result but I remember that I used the same way on (ubuntu+xen 4.2) and the installation started fine...

I don''t have the opportunity to test now, but I recall Xen to get confused then you attempt to start a domain without a valid vif configuration. I faced that some time ago, not sure it it''s still an issue. Anyway, if you are trying to perform a network install, how do you expect it to run without network? Another question, is that the recommended way to create a PV guest is via xen-tools, not the regular installer. I can''t tell if even the installer would work, never tried it that way. In any case, xend.log should hold the answer. -- Alexandre Kouznetsov

Hello. El 03/01/13 15:10, Jihed M''selmi escribió:> I copied the content of the config file inthe original post (see > attached the one I am using now)As I can see, indeed it''s the same config. Well, I still recommend to configure it so xend does not attempt to respawn crashed DomU. That is clearly not the main problem you are facing, but would be a much cleaner way to do things.> this is a piece from xend.log: > [...] > [2013-01-03 21:17:42 11357] WARNING (XendDomainInfo:2062) Domain has > crashed: name=ubuntu id=21.This must be something internal to DomU. Probably a wrong kernel or missconfiguration. Your config file has much less options than a regular one (mine are created by custom template for xen-tools), but I can''t tell about which is the critical one. http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/xen/ The same mirror where you got your vmlinuz and initrd.gz, has a file xm-debian.cfg. It has a brief instruction in the header. Never used it that way, but looks promising. Maybe you should try to stick to those instructions. My python is poor, but it does not look like running the debian-installer within the DomU. Another good thing to look at: run "xl create ..." without -f option. Does it complain, about what? Try -v option for "xl", it might give some useful output also. If you insist in using the regular debian-installer (can''t think of a good reason, but hopefully you have one) and don''t get xm-debian.cfg to work, I may suggest deploying a HVM DomU (it even can boot from PXE) and then convert it to PV. Although, I think using xen-tools is a much easer and faster way. Greetings.

Are there any message on the Xen console (xl|xm dmesg)? You might find that the guest kernel is logging something useful as it fails but that you don''t get to see it because the domain gets destroyed first. You could try enabling guest console logging as described in http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Reporting_Bugs_against_Xen or you could try on_crash="preserve" which ought to let you get to the console of the crashed guest (you will need to explicitly xl|xm destroy it when you are done).

As I told you, I have never used it that way, so can''t help much. The error message is clear enough by itself, this config will not be usable under your setup "as is". If you insist using debian-installer, you should pay attention to Ian about how to debug the crash reason. One of the first steps would be adding this to your config, as he suggested: on_crash="preserve" (Instead of mine on_crash="destroy") ...and inspecting the console.>> Another good thing to look at: >> run "xl create ..." without -f option.

Xend and XL are different toolstacks designed to manage Xen infrastructure, they conflict with each other: http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/XL http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Choice_of_Toolstacks Stick to "xm", or switch your default toolstack. Google for the exact error message you obtain, to find reference how to do that. This reference seems to be based on xl: http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Debian_Guest_Installation_Using_Debian_Installer -- Alexandre Kouznetsov

Sorry for that, I don''t know how I did it. I am familiar with centos but xen 4.1.2 on ubuntu were easier to start with. Yesterday, I switch to ubuntu and everything went fine (in creating this example). After installation, the VM was not on list (xl list) however in the beginning it was there with state -r-----. Anyway, I''ll update you with more details once, I back to my machine. I am familiar with vmware, what is the best tool like vCenter ?? Thank you for you support you and the rest of the team.

hey, I was able to fully create the VM machine and connect to it by console. However, if failed when I tried to connect by vncviewer.
