[Xen-users] xcp : vm installation

[Valerio De Rosa <valesmn@xxxxxxxx>]

Hello there,

i am trying to create a VM using xcp on my system, with os Ubuntu 11.10. Iâve got 3 server on my testbed and in the near future i am going to try a VM live migration from a server to another, but actually I am having few problems.

 The first one : i installed the xcp-xapi on 2 of my servers, and when i give the command

#xe template-list

One of the server gives me the list, while the other one doesnât. Itâs very strange, since I made the same installation steps on both machines.

Following the guide at http://xen.org/files/XenCloud/installation.pdf ,  and after typed the command:

 # update-rc.d porta default 21 19 (instead of chkconfig portmap on)

I find that the  xcp-xapi libs are not running anymore, living the answer âserver not foundâ. Searching on the web it look like there should be a conflict between xcp and apache2http, both using port 80 for communication with localhost.

After stopping apache2 with a  âservice apache2 stopâ, the xcp-xapi libs can be restarted, and looks like they are working properly.

I try then to create a storage to prepare my vm installation:

 #xe sr-create name-label=centos6 type=iso device-config:location=/.../centos6 device-config:legacy_mode=true content-type=iso

Then I tried installing a vm with:

#xe vm-install new-name-label=centos6bob sr-name-label=centos6 template=CentOS\ 6\ \(32-bit\)

You attempted an operation that was not allowed.

reason: Cannot copy a VM's disks to an ISO SR

getting the error up here.

I tried also changing the sr-type with ânfsâ, but the error is nearly the same. I think I am making some wrong step, but I canât find which oneâhope someone can help.

Regards,Valerio.
