Hi Mike: Just a quick follow up. It was trivial to get things working using NFS -- thank you. But I still can't get the http boot to work. Could there be some sort of bug or am I just missing something? Cheers, Joe -----Original Message----- From: xen-users-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:xen-users-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Joe Linoff Sent: Tuesday, May 17, 2011 9:33 AM To: Mike McClurg; xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: [Xen-users] Problems creating a Fedora 14 domU using XCP 1.0and xe Hi Mike: Setting "other-config:install-methods=cdrom,http" didn't seem to work. It may be that I didn't do it correctly so ran "xe vm-param-list uuid=$uuid" to verify. The output is shown below. Apparently I am still missing something.

If you've got an ISO image on your local network, you can also just boot from that. You can export the directory containing the ISO as an NFS share, and then use `xe-mount-iso-sr host:/ISO-directory`. Once you have the ISO directory mounted as an SR, you can then add the Fedora ISO to the VM as a CD: # xe vm-cd-add vm=test device=3 cd-name='Fedora-14-x86_64-Live-Desktop.iso' While it would work, I wouldn't recommend putting the ISO directly in dom0, because we only give that filesystem 4GiB to use, and it'll ruin your day if you run out of space on dom0. > Errata: > > ## On the XCP server > # lsb_release -a > LSB Version: :core-3.1-ia32:core-3.1-noarch > Distributor ID: XCP > Description: XCP release 1.0.0-42052c (xcp) > Release: 1.0.0-42052c > Codename: xcp > > # uname -a > Linux xenserver-tcc-lab-04 2.6.32.12-0.7.1.xs1.0.0.311.170586xen #1 SMP > Tue Feb 1 17:10:20 EST 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux > > Any hints would be greatly appreciated. > > Thanks, > > Joe > > > _______________________________________________ > Xen-users mailing list > Xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
