Re: [Xen-users] [xen4.4] DomU Windows server HVM with xen-tools xl create



Thank you for your quick response.

Sorry, I gave the link to the question but it was not preserved with my mail : http://www.xenproject.org/help/questions-and-answers/xen4-4-domu-windows-server-hvm-with-xen-tools-xl-create.html

I followed this guide to create Windows HVM DomU : http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen_Project_Beginners_Guide#Creating_a_Windows_HVM_.28Hardware_Virtualized.29_Guest, but with no success.

So, because Windows HVM did not work, I wanted first to attest that Ubuntu HVM DomU with graphical access, works. But that is not the case neither.

"Your disk line looks ok to me"
OK

"xl console gets you access to the virtual serial device. I don't think Windows would attach anything to that at least not by default. Try connecting to the VNC and you should see the Windows GUI. "
OK for Windows but for Ubuntu graphical access this will work, no ?

With VNC this do not work neither !

Hi everybody

I posted a question in Xen Project Q&A Forum. My CPU support HVM. I tried
to create a Ubuntu HVM DomU with "xl create" but with no success. My
ultimate goal is to virtualize a Windows 2008 test server.

This is my current Ubuntu DomU configuration :
root@lnj-ubu64:/home/lnj# cat /etc/xen/xen-domu-ubuntu.cfg
builder = "hvm"
name = "xen-domu-ubuntu"
memory = "1024"
vcpus = 1
vif = ['']
disk = ['phy:/dev/vg0/xen-domu-ubuntu,xvda,w', 'file:/data/ISO/ubuntu
-14.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso,xvdd:cdrom,r']
acpi = 1
device_model_version = 'qemu-xen'
boot = "dc"
sdl = 0
serial = 'pty'
vnc = 1
vncconsole = 1
vnclisten = ""
vncpassword = ""
# disk line : xvda I am pretty sure, but xvdd I am not sure (how to know
embedded device names ?)
Your disk line looks ok to me, but I'm not sure what you are concerned
about here.

"xl create" creation seems OK, "xl list" shows that VM is up, but when I
try to access from terminal (xl console), nothing is displayed and I am
forced to leave it.
"xl console" gets you access to the virtual serial device. I don't think
Windows would attach anything to that at least not by default.

Try connecting to the VNC and you should see the Windows GUI.

Looks like you can launch that automatically (subject to a suitable
vncclient being installed) using the -V option to xl create. Otherwise "xl
vncviewer <dom>" instead of xl console should work.

Ian.
