Hi all,
i still have problem…. Some time I am
able to install and other not. I tried this on different machine either in a
pool and either in a single installation of XCP.
These are the steps I use to create a VM:
# set disk size
xe template-param-set
uuid=9d8c3be5-f16b-7446-b978-e23551d8a77e
other-config:disks="<provision><disk device=\"0\"
size=\"21474836480\" sr=\"\" bootable=\"true\"
type=\"system\"/></provision>"
# install VM
xe vm-install template="CentOS 5.4
x64" new-name-label="Test"
sr-uuid=be51be94-8f80-1010-c88c-0e07a55c39a8
# create VM vif0
xe vif-create
vm-uuid=fd478bba-f12f-8402-21b7-685566164390
network-uuid=b82128e2-aa9a-8971-47c8-95b819dce275 mac=random device=0
# set install repository to local install
server
xe vm-param-set
uuid=fd478bba-f12f-8402-21b7-685566164390
other-config:install-repository="http://mi.mirror.garr.it/mirrors/CentOS/5.4/os/x86_64/"
# start it
xe vm-install vm=Test
I used the content of centos.cgi from Vern’s
XCCS, but I always receive the same error:
“
[root@xcp1 ~]# xe vm-start vm=Liberty
on=b3a1cd29-4560-47d0-95d9-87ec65e27197
The bootloader returned an error
vm: fd478bba-f12f-8402-21b7-685566164390
(Liberty)
msg: Error from bootloader: Failed to parse
the output of bootloader: ()
[root@xcp1 ~]#
“
This is the output of vm-param-list:

Is there someone who could help me?
Thanks a lot for any suggestion,
