Dear xen-users. First of all, I'm not a linux-guru and a beginner with xen and completly new in this mailinglist. I've installed Xen on debian 6 and I was successful creating two machines: one for tests and "fogserver" (to test speed of writing computer images), both para-virtualisations. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Here the output of "xm list": Name ID Mem VCPUs State Time(s) Domain-0 0 5169 2 r----- 20.6 fogserver 3 512 2 -b---- 1.9 vm-debian 4 512 1 -b---- 1.4 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- My attempt to create a hardware-virtualisation (cpu capable of both) failed with "xm create ..." and my efforts to find a solution on internet were without success. The content of my "phyfog.cfg" below. The command # xm create -c /etc/xen/phyfog.cfg ends with: "Using config file /etc/xen/phyfog.cfg. Domain 'phyfog' does not exist." The log file of qemu-dm says: "domid: 10 -append only allowed with -kernel option" Any ideas or how to solve the problem creating virtual machines with 'hvm'. Thanks in advance. Peter. PS: informations about version below. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Content of "phyfog.cfg": - begin file: # native LINUX-Install on Debian-Xen import os, re arch = os.uname()[4] if re.search('64',arch): arch_libdir = 'lib64' else: arch_libdir = 'lib' kernel = '/usr/lib/xen-4.0/boot/hvmloader' builder = 'hvm' device_model = '/usr/lib/xen-4.0/bin/qemu-dm' memory = '512' shadow_memory = '8' # drives #root = '/dev/sda1' disk = [ 'phy:/dev/sdb,ioemu:xvda,w', 'file:/home/isofiles/ubuntu-11.04-server-i386.iso,ioemu:hdc:cdrom,r' ] # hostname name = 'phyfog' # networking dhcp = 'dhcp' vif = ['mac=00:16:3e:11:22:33,type=ioemu, bridge=xenbr0'] # behaviour boot='d' on_poweroff = 'destroy' obn_reboot = 'reboot' on_crash = 'destroy' #graphic configuration sdl=1 vnc=0 vncviewer=0 - end file ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The content of "xend.log" below.
