Hi Lance,
I have been pretty much following the link to rpath Wiki for installing
guest domain, especially the network monitoring system which the wiki
page points you to. I have been facing error while I create guest using
the procedure given. I am facing the error that says pygrub did not
return any value.Please try it and let me know if you are able to
successfully create the guest domain.

Thank you

Ananth

                    Hi,

                    I am running the latest xen package on Debian Lenny
                    and I want to
                    install a Linux vm with an ISO image.

                    How best do I make this happen.

                    I have not been able to get virt-manager to connect
                    to the xen
                    instance on my server from my Laptop.

                    I would really appreciate the help

                    Thanks

                    Lance


                Hello Lance,

                The easiest way I have found is to loop mount the iso
                then expose it on
                my webserver. I then use virt-manager to connect and
                install with http.
                That way I am able to install in paravirtual mode rather
                than HVM.

                You can also do the exact same thing from the command
                line using ssh
                from your laptop, look at the virt-install man page. I
                would tcpdump on
                your laptop and server to see why you are unable to connect.

                Hope that helps,

                Jon

            Hi again,

            Is it possible for a person to run a downloaded raw file
            system in a
            xen environment?

            I have downloaded a vm from the rpath.org <http://rpath.org>
            site and want to run the vm
            on my xen system. It is a running file system that just
            needs to be
            booted.

            I have manually created config files on my kvm qemu system
            to run this
            in the past. does xen have config files I could copy and use?

            I apologies for the newbie questions.

            Thanks

            Lance


        I have never used rpath images but a quick look on their site I
        found
        the link below. The first link about using a domU created by
        rpath or
        rmake and how to install it on a xen system might give you an idea.

    Hi Jon,

    I must be blind. I looked on their site and did not find that one.

    Thanks again.

Hi Ananth,

I am having trouble copying the image to my server as it seems xen makes the datastore read only. At least for me that is.

I wonder how I get around that.
