Not at all, you should be free to mix and match. My point was that you
may need slightly different configuration for a PV guest vs an HVM one.

The approach you are taking should be easy, I'm at a loss to explain why
it doesn't work for you.

Did you try connecting to the VNC as I suggested?

I tried to connect to VNC, but the connection cannot be established, here is the running script:

[su@XenTester xen]$ vncviewer localhost:5901

 main:        unable connect to socket: Connection refused (111)
[su@XenTester xen]$ 

Is there a walk-around to the issue?

Have you looked in /var/log/xen to see if there are any interesting
messages under there?

After I read the logs (qemu-de-*.log), I found all of them include several "common" errors:

xs_read(/local/domain/0/

device-model/3/xen_extended_power_mgmt): read error
xs_read(): vncpasswd get error. /vm/a11e9c05-7bed-f7cd-e0e7-00506415b739/vncpasswd.
Log-dirty: no command yet.
xen be core: xen be core: can't open gnttab device
can't open gnttab device

Could you tell what is happening here?

 

What version of Xen are you running and where did you get it from (e.g.
self-built vs. packages)? If you are just interested in getting a domain
up and running ASAP then I would strongly suggest you use the Xen
packages supplied by your distribution rather than building them
yourself. I'm not sure which distro you are running though.

Ian.

 
I am running Xen 4.1.2 and built it from source. Indeed I need a runnable guest ASAP but we want to run it on a built-from-source Xen because we want to modify Xen source code a bit later. By the way, I am running on CentOS 6.2

Thanks,
