Re: [Xen-users] [xen4.4] DomU Windows server HVM with xen-tools xl create

["estebann@xxxxxxxxx" <estebann@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you for your quick response.

Sorry, I gave the link to the question but it was not preserved with my 
mail : 
http://www.xenproject.org/help/questions-and-answers/xen4-4-domu-windows-server-hvm-with-xen-tools-xl-create.html
I followed this guide to create Windows HVM DomU : 
http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen_Project_Beginners_Guide#Creating_a_Windows_HVM_.28Hardware_Virtualized.29_Guest, 
but with no success.
So, because Windows HVM did not work, I wanted first to attest that 
Ubuntu HVM DomU with graphical access, works. But that is not the case 
neither.
"Your disk line looks ok to me"
OK

"xl console gets you access to the virtual serial device. I don't think 
Windows would attach anything to that at least not by default. Try 
connecting to the VNC and you should see the Windows GUI. "
OK for Windows but for Ubuntu graphical access this will work, no ?

With VNC this do not work neither !
