install different guest OS in XEN of FC6
I am a newbie in Xen and I have a problem in installing a different guest OS. My Dom 0 is FC6 and I successfully installed and ran a guest OS of FC6 by using virt-install. When I wanted to install another guest OS, ie, RH9 using the same method, it responded: ERROR: Invalid NFS location givenL [Errno 2] No such fle or directory: '/var/lib/xen....../xen/vmlinuz.
What should I do to make it happen? Thanks. |
xen sux
Hi
Yes I've been battling with this too! 1) The iso's were unpacked as per the Red Hat manual "3.7.1.1. Using ISO Images for NFS Installs". http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/l...stall-net.html 2) NFS setup and the url given as "nfs:127.0.0.1:/path/to" per the manual. This did not work. 3) Also tried "http://anorien.csc.warwick.ac.uk/mirrors/centos/4.4/os/i386/" which did not work. 4) Tried this "http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/6/i386/os/" which is taking a month of Sundays to come back and besides I require an Enterprise Linux install... Will log a thread on the Fedora Forums for this. G |
To follow up on this I figured out that there must be a path_to_os/images/xen directory with a xen vmlinuz and initrd.img.
Hope this helps |
install different guest OS in XEN of FC6
Yes I Agree with you..
The way Xen on FC4-FC5 works is different from FC6. Does anyone know found the solution for the same i.e. how to install other OS as Guest OS on Xen-FC6. Regards, Nilesh |
Xen destroyDevice bug
Read this...

i had a very bad experience with FC6. I tried full 1 month in getting windows os on top of xen in fc6 but it didnt worked. I tried all possible ways but no.
So i switched over to opensuse10.2 Which is the best for this purpose.... So if there is no boundation to use FC6...i would suggest to go with SuSE....MUCH BETTER All the best |

create guest os using virt-install
hi vhmtai,
plzz help me out , i think u can solve my problem .... even i m very new to linux.. actually i ve installed fc6 along with xen on my desktop ... now i want to install guest os of same fc6 on xen... can u tell me the procedure which u carried out using virt-install in detail ??? what should be the path name given ?wat should be the install location ?? plzz do reply ... |
I think the installation is the same as what you install a new FC6. The only tricky thing that I have encountered was, the partition to be used. I have tried to create a partition dedicated for the virtual machine in domain 0 but failed. I don't know why but it seems that the virtual-domain cannot recognize the partition I have created for it. So, I removed the virtual machine partition but instead, created a directory under / in domain 0. That worked without any problem.
Moreover, in the virt-install, you can share the DVD ISO in domain 0 and mount as netfs. use NFS to connect to the DVD image during virtual domain installation. For the details, you may need to check for the documentation. |
