I have installed RHEL 5.5 Itanium on HP integrity rx2660 server for virtulization testing purpose. I have found that KVM is not built for itanium, Thus I switch over to XEN virtulization. Now another issue has came while creating VM on XEN that it gives hvmloader missing error below is error detail:-
Quote:
Unable to complete install: 'POST operation failed: xend_post: error from xen daemon: (xend.err 'Error creating domain: Kernel image does not exist: /usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader')'
Please suggest its solution. I installed XEN with command yum groupinstall XEN so this mean the XEN package is fully installed.
Well, my dom0 installation DOES have the hvmloader binary, but I didn't use a distribution package but compiled xen 3.4.2 myself.
So one idea would be that redhat splits up the xen binaries in several packages, the core package not including hvmloader as it isn't needed for paravirtualized guests. You could search your package archives for packages like "xen-tools", "xen-utils", "xen-extra" and the like...
