I’ve been working on getting xen-api working on Debian Wheezy. I followed the installation instructions and have gotten to the point where I can connect to the server with XenCenter and attempt to create a VM. I create a VM from the Debian Squeeze template (or any other for that matter), but I can’t get it to start. The error in the log is:
Internal error: the device disappeared from xenstore (frontend (domid=1|kind=vbd|devid=51712); backend (domid=0|kind=vbd|devid=51712))
Poking around a bit I noticed that my xenstore looks suspiciously empty:
root@debian:/home/jweber# xenstore-ls
tool = ""
xenstored = ""
local = ""
domain = ""
0 = ""
name = "Domain-0"
memory = ""
dynamic-min = "1168384"
dynamic-max = "1168384"
mh = ""
boot-time = ""
management-mac-address = "00:04:4b:05:56:14"
Seems pretty clear that I messed something up during the install, but I couldn’t find any obvious errors in the log files pointing me in the right direction. I’ve tried reinstalling a couple times now eventually arriving at the same blocking point. Any words of wisdom from the experts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
/John
