Hello,
I have installed Xen on a brand new Dell server. This install differs from the previous as I have used the apt packages. I have exactly followed this tutorial :
http://www.howtoforge.com/debian_etch_xen_from_debian_repository . Also, the server is 64-bit.
PV domU's work perfectly but HVM domU's don't agree with that.
I have tried two configs, here is the first one :
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen-3.0.3-1/boot/hvmloader"
builder = "hvm"
memory = "512"
disk = [ 'file:/data/xen/domains/asape/disk.img,hda,w', 'file:/data/win2000.img,hdc:cdrom,r' ]
device_model = '/usr/lib/xen-3.0.3-1/bin/qemu-dm'
name = "asape2"
vif = [ 'type=ioemu, bridge=xenbr0' ]
vnc=1
vnclisten="
192.168.0.1"
boot="dca"

And here is the second one :
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
# -*- mode: python; -*- arch = os.uname()[4]
arch_libdir = 'lib64'
#----------------------------------------------------------------
# hvmloader in place of a kernel image
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen-3.0.3-1/boot/hvmloader"
# guest domain build function (for HVM guests we use 'hvm')
builder='hvm'
device_model = '/usr/' + arch_libdir + '/usr/lib/xen-3.0.3-1/bin/qemu-dm'
# memory allocation at boot in MB
memory = 512
# shadow pagetable memory,
#should be at least 2KB per MB of memory plus a few MB per vcpu
shadow_memory = 8
name = "asape"
# name for the domain
# number of CPUs guest has available (default=1)
vcpus=1
# HVM guest PAE support (default=0 disabled)
#pae=0
# HVM guest ACPI support (default=0 disabled)
#acpi=0
# HVM guest APIC support (default=0 disabled)
#apic=0
#----------------------------------------------------------------
# 1 NIC, auto-assigned MAC address
vif = [ 'type=ioemu, bridge=xenbr0' ]
# first device is LVM partition to use as hard disk,
# second device is an image of an installation CD-ROM
disk = ['phy:/data/xen/domains/asape/disk.img,hda,w', 'file:/data/win2000.img,hdc:cdrom,r']
# boot order (a=floppy, c=hard disk, d=CD-ROM; default=cda)
boot="dc"
# function to execute when guest wishes to power off
># function to execute when guest wishes to reboot
on_reboot = 'restart'
# function to execute if guest crashes
on_crash = 'restart'
#----------------------------------------------------------------
# SDL library support for graphics (default=0 disabled)
# VNC library support for graphics (default=0 disabled)
vnc=1
#------------------------VNC-------------------------------------
# address for VNC server to listen on,
# (default is to use the 'vnc-listen'
# setting in /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp)
#vnclisten="
10.0.0.20"
# set the VNC display number (default=domid)
#vncdisplay=1
# find an unused port for the VNC server (default=1 enabled)
vncunused=1
# spawn vncviewer for domain's console (default=0 disabled)
vncconsole=1
#------------------------VGA-------------------------------------
# no graphics, only serial (do not enable for Windows guests)
#nographic=0
# stdvga (cirrus logic model, default=0 disabled)
stdvga=0
# start in full screen (default=0 no)
#full-screen=1
#------------------------USB-------------------------------------
# USB support
#(devices may be specified through the monitor window)
#usb=1
# normal/relative mouse
#usbdevice='mouse'
# tablet/absolute mouse
#usbdevice='tablet'
#------------------------MISC------------------------------------
# serial port re-direct to pty device,
# allows xm console or minicom to connect
#serial='pty'
# sound card support (sb16, es1370, all; default none)
#soundhw='sb16'
# set real time clock to local time (default=0 UTC)
localtime=1
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
What happens is that I start these vm's using xm create which doesn't give my any error. Yet, I cannot connect via VNC and the VM's don't seem started because no CPU time is used.
Does anyone have a tip on how to solve this ?
Thank you in advance,
