Bit dated and in the middle of a dev series, you might be better of with
e.g. v3.2.12 which was just released.

Thanks for the useful info.

It seems to be missing the node which should contain the tty for the
console (hence the error message).

Have you restarted xenstored at all? If so then you may need to reboot
(might be a good idea anyway). Remember add the modprobe xen-gntdev to
the xencommons initscript somewhere before starting the daemons and
ensure that it is set to run on startup.

I'm afraid that if rebooting doesn't help then I'm at a loss. Might be a
virt manager thing I guess but I don't know anything about that side of
things.

After I reboot (with "modprobe xen-gntdev" added into xencommons), the domainU seems to be offline. When I was starting the domU, there is another error
popped out.
[root@XenTester su]# xm list

Can you see a problem here?

Looks ok to me.

I'm not sure why you can't connect to the VNC -- it appears to be up and
running. Perhaps a firewall issue?

Here is the iptable output,
[root@XenTester su]# iptables -nL

Does it look ok to you?

there may be a firewall at the gateway blocked the connection. I may double check with our system admin.
