Guest OS Installation on RHEL 5 Xen
Hi, all,
I'm trying to install my first virtual machine using Xen on RHEL 5 and am having some problems. I've used Red Hat's virtual machine manager GUI and chosen to add a new machine to my localhost Xen server.
During setup, the requirement that my installation media be served over NFS, FTP, or HTTP was a bit perplexing to me, since my RHEL media is in my DVD ROM drive (I plan on installing a RHEL 5 guest in my RHEL 5 host). So, I simply setup the NFS daemon on my host and exported /mnt/cdrom. I am able to mount this directory in a terminal so I know that NFS is working properly.
However, when I complete my VM configuration operations in the VMM GUI, it reports: "Guest Install: unable to mount NFS location". I've Googled this and found only one other reference to it out there. That site didn't help.
Any ideas what could be going wrong? Might there be an error log somewhere that I could read and figure this out?
Thanks!
Scott
