[Xen-users] clarification with xen vm /guest creation

[Yamini L <lpyamini@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

 

I am trying to create a vm on xen..

 

I have used xm create configfile.. Initially, i  had created a raw virtual disk (empty one).

 

configfile

kernel="/root/Desktop/vmlinuz"
memory=1024
extra="fastboot"
ramdisk="/root/Desktop/initrd.img"
disk = ['tap:aio:/var/lib/xen/images/new.img,xvda,w']
name="newdom"
#root="/dev/xvda1 ro"
vif=['ip=10.2.0.251']
#eth0=on


And then i am prompted for interactive installation..

Here i want to know how to install os from iso files and also, on installing os by giving mirror locations and after that while partitioning i am getting error saying that there are no hard drives in my system..

Actually, i am running centos 5.5 (host os) inside vmware and trying to create a new vm (guest os - centos) on that..Kindly let me know what the issue is..

Thanks in advance.
