Trying to install guest utilities into a Linux VM, Ubuntu
12.04.1, installing from template provided by the default
installation of XCP 1.6.1
Did not modify the template settings in any way, there is
no way for me to even access the linux directory in the
XS-tools.iso on the domU VM... I can see all the windows
executables, and I see the linux directory folder, but I
cannot access it, it "does not exist"
I followed several guides I could find online for
xenserver 6.1, including the VM guide and several blog posts
(all which were just mirrors of the guide), I am using XCP
1.6.1 as dom0,
I do not require ubuntu, I simply am looking to create a
locally optimized VM that will act as a host...
Is there any documentation on the process of installing
guest-utilities on a domU? What it does to the domU, and how
long it takes?
I am just noticed that my XS-tools, is infact performing
some tasks on the VM, I am going to let it be, as it is
working extremely slowly, for it has been nearly an hour. How
long does this process generally take? and is this what is
suppose to show for domU guest optimization? It is running on
a server I am aiming to be optimized for I/O, I just recently
built it, it has 128gigs of ram in 16 slots with two CPU's at
3000ghz and 32 cores, should it take this long? Am I
encountering a serious error?
here is output:
