RE: [Xen-users] How-To create Windows HVM?

Hello,

You do not need to throw the -c flag for HVM domains.
If that doesn't fix it, try removing the following lines (or commenting them 
out),

shadow_memory=8
vnclisten="0.0.0.0"                                                                                             vncconsole=1                                                                                         
           vncpasswd=''

You will also have to change your cdrom entry in disk= to 
'file:/mnt/store/backup/wide032a01.iso,ioemu:hdc:cdrom,r' (adding ioemu to the 
arguments)

Next you will probably have to change the xend-config.sxp file and look for 
anything regarding VNC, uncomment and change the values (there is general info 
in the file).


Let me know if this helps,
Tait

Subject: [Xen-users] How-To create Windows HVM?

Hi,

i'm a little bit stuck here with creating a HVM-Windows (w2k3) Guest under Xen 
3.1.
I'm using ubuntu 7,10 with a 2.6.22.16-xen-patched kernel which seems to be 
stable for single cpu-linux guests. Cpu is a Q6600 and XD,VT and VT-d is 
enabled in the bios.

When i create the windows guest with 'xm create w2k3 -c"  (conf below)
I get:
 "Started domain w2k3
xenconsole: Could not read tty from store: No such file or directory"

i think i'm fine wiht that coz there is no tty in windows ?! ;)

so i do a netstat -lpn to search for the vnc-port to connect to, but there 
isn't one ?!?!
in xm top the w2k3-domU takes 99% cpu load
the logfiles doesn't show anything unusual.. any ideas ??
