Re: [Xen-users] Still having trouble creating a VM using xm create

Right. But what is the logic behind these lines? How is it supposed to be?

These are my vols/devices:

[root@localhost xen]# df -l
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
                      16822672   7280864   8673456  46% /
/dev/hda1               101086     20680     75187  22% /boot
/dev/shm                480296         0    480296   0% /dev/shm
/dev/hdc                 63736     63736         0 100% /media/cdrom


[root@localhost xen]# lvdisplay -v | grep "LV Name"
    Finding all logical volumes
  LV Name                /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
  LV Name                /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01

I'm going to make a lot of assumptions here.

1) VolGroup00/LogVol00 is your main bootable linux system, i.e your dom0
2) VolGroup00/LogVol01 is your 2nd bootable linux system, i.e your domU

The "disk = " line tells xen what the domU should use for its filesystem, and what it should be known as to the domU.

disk = [ 'phy:VolGroup00/LogVol01,hda1,w' ]

Now, VolGroup00/LogVol01/etc/fstab needs to match what you've told xen to export (hda1). Mount /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 /mnt. Edit /mnt/etc/fstab and replace the mount line for "/".

/dev/hda1       /         ext3    defaults        1 1

umount /mnt.

Now try your xm create again.  That should get you further.



Thanks

    In the line above you have the same logical volume mounted in two
    places
    at the same time. That could be your error.
