[Xen-devel] Communication between Domain0 and Domain1

[Richard Ta-Min <tamin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I am using 'xen unstable / xenolinux 2.4.26' and I am having some problems 
to get the domain0 and domain1 to communicate with each other. The python 
scripts xc_dom_create.py is not available on the xen unstable release. If 
I try to run the copy xc_dom_create.py that I have from xen 1.2 I get an 
error on the line "xc = Xc.new()". So this is what I did to start a new 
domain1 on xen unstable. From within domain0 I ran the following:

1.) run 'xend start'

2.) run the script xen_nat_enable that I got from xen1.2

3.) I ran the following command from within a bash script
    xm create -c vmid=1 \
                 name=domain1 \
                 kernel=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.26-xenU \
                 memory=64 \
                 disk=phy:hda9,hda9,w \
                 ipaddr=169.254.1.1 \
                 root=/dev/hda9 ro \
                 ip=169.254.1.1 \
                 gateway=169.254.1.0 \
                 netmask=255.255.0.0 \
                 hostname=host_dom1
                 
    Domain1 is loaded and I can successfully login to domain1           
    through the console. Note: leaving 'mingetty tty1' in the           
    inittab file of domain1 is fine. I read somewhere that I should
    disable that.
    
However, I cannot ssh into domain1 from domain0.
===========================================================
[root@domain0 /]# ssh 169.254.1.1
ssh: connect to host 169.254.1.1 port 22: No route to host
===========================================================

Below I have copied & paste the network configuration for domain0 and 
domain1. I am sorry if I include a lot of junk in the email.

Here is the network configuration of domain0

Also, it seems that the way to control XEN on the xen unstable release is 
a bit different from xen1.2. The python scripts to use are a bit 
different. There a few scripts that I do not know what they do, example 
xend, netfix and xfrd. That is probably because it is my 1st experience 
with Python. Are there any documentation ?

Thanks
Richard
