Xen project Mailing List

I have built 32-bit xapi on centos5.8, using tag XS62ESP1 on github and binpkg ISO,

Âbut after replacing original xapi file on my Xenserver 6.2 SP1 with the new one, I can't launch a VM with an error 'The bootloader for this VM returned an error -- did the VM installation succeed? Bootable disk has no valid filesystem'

How can I build the same Xapi as on my XenServer 6.2 with SP1

Thanks,

Fan

XenServer 6.2 is based on CentOS 5. For building there, I would recommend installing a CentOS 5 VM, and then installing the dependencies of xapi from the binpkg ISO (called 'Development Packages') from here: http://xenserver.org/overview-xenserver-open-source-virtualization/download.html. The dependencies are in domain0/RPMs/i686/.

Also, for 6.2 development you should use the 'clearwater-lcm' branch on github. Master has moved on a long way since 6.2 was released and will no longer compile with the 6.2 dependencies.

You may also want to check out the pre-release page here: http://xenserver.org/open-source-virtualization-download/11-product/142-download-pre-release.html. It's similar to 6.2 in that it's CentOS 5 based too, but 64 bit rather than 32 bit. The git branch for xapi development for this release is named xs64bit-ring3.

This is a slightly different process for dev than we use internally so I'd be keen to know if you come across any problems.

Good luck!

hi list
ÂÂÂ Now we are trying to compile the xapi for 32bits
ÂÂÂ We follow the steps from github like below:
ÂÂÂ While these are for 64 bits, not 32 bits.
ÂÂÂ I just want to know how to compile XAPI 32bits for Xserver6.2.
ÂÂÂ Any suggestions are welcome
ÂÂÂ Thanks a lot

ÂÂÂÂÂ buildroot
Buildroot for xen-api and related packages, producing RPM and (experimentally) Debian packages.

RPM-based distributions

On RPM-based distributions, the packages are built using mock. To install it on a 64-bit RHEL/CentOS system then you will need to add the EPEL repositories. Here is a useful article for CentOS.

After adding EPEL, install and set up mock:

yum install -y mock redhat-lsb-core
Mock will refuse to run as root. You must choose a non-privileged user to run mock as. Type the following as root:

(Note select a <user> which isn't "mock" when typing the commands below)

useradd <user> -G mock
passwd <user>

su - <user>
You are now ready to clone the buildroot repository and build the packages:

git clone git://github.com/xenserver/buildroot.git
cd buildroot

./configure.sh
make
Finally, install the packages you have just built, run the install wizard to configure your system to boot Xen and start the buildroot components on boot, then reboot:

make install
xenserver-install-wizard
reboot
