Hi,
May be we could write to rpath regarding this and ask for more help. I
tried creating the same using my own config file, which does not use the
pygrub. I have specified the domU kernel from my system, and I have not
used the blktap driver. Instead I have pointed to the image using the
file:// context. When I create the guest domain, it says error reading
the filesystem and tells me to run fsck. I am unable to attach my config
file right now as . I shall do that tomorrow from my lab. You can try if
you are able to make progress using that.

Hi Lance,
I have been pretty much following the link to rpath Wiki for
installing
guest domain, especially the network monitoring system which the
wiki
page points you to. I have been facing error while I create
guest using
the procedure given. I am facing the error that says pygrub did not
return any value.Please try it and let me know if you are able to
successfully create the guest domain.

Thank you

Hi,

I am running the latest xen package on
Debian Lenny
and I want to
install a Linux vm with an ISO image.

How best do I make this happen.

I have not been able to get virt-manager to
connect
to the xen
instance on my server from my Laptop.

I would really appreciate the help

Thanks

Lance

Hello Lance,

The easiest way I have found is to loop mount
the iso
then expose it on
my webserver. I then use virt-manager to connect and
install with http.
That way I am able to install in paravirtual
mode rather
than HVM.

You can also do the exact same thing from the
command
line using ssh
from your laptop, look at the virt-install man
page. I
would tcpdump on
your laptop and server to see why you are unable
to connect.

Hope that helps,

Jon

Hi again,

Is it possible for a person to run a downloaded raw file
system in a
xen environment?

I have downloaded a vm from the rpath.org
<http://rpath.org> <http://rpath.org>

site and want to run the vm
on my xen system. It is a running file system that just
needs to be
booted.

I have manually created config files on my kvm qemu
system
to run this
in the past. does xen have config files I could copy
and use?

I apologies for the newbie questions.

Thanks

Lance

I have never used rpath images but a quick look on their
site I
found
the link below. The first link about using a domU created by
rpath or
rmake and how to install it on a xen system might give
you an idea.

Hi Jon,

I must be blind. I looked on their site and did not find
that one.

Thanks again.

Hi Ananth,

I get the same error when I run xm create. I wonder if pygrub needs
more that the documenation is telling us.

Regards

Lance

Hi Ananth,

I know a few people at rPath.

I will ask them.
