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:
