Re: [Xen-users] CentOS + Xen + Clustering issue

[Wendell Dingus <wendell@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Any suggestions anyone? This is so frustrating after such ease of getting things working with Xen previously...

First:
Single machine, CentOS5.2 CD, install, run virt-manager, install another centos vm paravirtualized, straight-forward and easy, click click done.

Next:
Move up to 2 machines with FC cards, add in a FC SAN storage unit, the same as above but get RHCS and CLVMD working and then try a paravirtualized install with identical options as previously, pointing to the same install media shared from the same location, and it fails this way... ugh!

Oh well, going to keep reading/researching now... Thanks

PS. I tried putting a CentOS DVD in the drive and pointing to it for a fully-virtualized install which completes just fine. Hmm...

My DOMU Linux VMs are failing initial install. The stand-alone test machine can still install a domu and they're all trying to pull install media from the same source, another server http serving up the centos dvd.
