[Xen-users] converting full to para

["Paras pradhan" <pradhanparas@xxxxxxxxx>]

virt-p2v was able to convert my centOS 5.2 physical machine to xen virtual machine and it runs great. Now, I am working on to convert this full virt machine to para virt .

Under my domU i have installed kernel-xen (since it is needed ) , and edited my grub menu to use the installed kernel. 

My grub menu file in domU looks like:

----

kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-92.1.17.el5xen ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet

initrd /initrd-2.6.18-92.1.17.el5xen.img                              

----

Here is my config file that I have used (for para):

-----

name = "localhost_localdomain"

uuid = "a57400f11c2138ec41087b80e813496e"

maxmem = 512

memory = 512

vcpus = 1

bootloader = "/usr/bin/pygrub"

disk = [ "file:/freespace/p2v-localhost_localdomain-200811061823-hda.img,hda,w" ]

vif = [ "mac=00:16:3e:e6:3b:e2" ]

>

>

>

#keymap = "en-us"

#serial = "pty"

extra = "xencons=tty"

bootloader = "/usr/bin/pygrub"

vfb = [  ]

vif = [ "mac=00:16:3e:17:03:9f,bridge=xenbr0" ]

----

The error I am getting is:

--

[root@ha2 xen]# xm create /etc/xen/localhost_localdomain -c

Using config file "/etc/xen/localhost_localdomain".

Any help will be appreciated.
