Re: [Xen-users] problem with xen cloud installation on a shared storage

[Peter den Hartog <peterdenhartog@xxxxxxxxx>]

I use 0.1.0 at this moment and only see a debian etch folder, in the tools folder on the cd :), so i think that's the problem :-).. So you have 0.1.1 and see debian-lenny folder?

Thanks,
Peter

Also, if you're really using the xs-tools 0.1.0, make sure you're actually using XCP 0.1.0 and not 0.1.1, otherwise the PV drivers will be out of date and not work.

Oke i installed the tools and now atleast the system still boots :P

I do get the following message while installing:

/
debian-lenny:/usr/src/xs-tools-0.1.0/Linux# ./install.sh

I press Y but i think there is still something missing now, i can't do
the live migration:

/[root@node1 iso]# xe vm-migrate vm=lenny-test host=xenserver-kkevwpvj
--live/
/You attempted an operation on a VM which requires PV drivers to be
installed but the drivers were not detected./
/vm: ac42865b-2088-c6b5-b147-d1cd8e599f3e (lenny-test)/
/[root@node1 iso]# /

Could you tell me how you fixed this :-)? i've installed the kernel
headers, and created a symlink from ./debian-lenny to that kernel source
but that doesn't seem the solution.

Thanks,
Peter

   Hi Vern,

   Thanks alot for your input, i'll create a new Debian vm and unpack
   everything on my NFS server :), that sounds like a good solution
   anyways :-). I just tabbed till i found some commando's pressed
   enter and it seemd to work :P, not knowing that it will destroy my
   vm later on :-).

   I'll try it again your way, thanks!

       I've never been able to get the xvdd method to work. If I
       remember the manual correctly, you shouldn't be adding the iso
       that way anyways, the tools iso is "supposed" to show up
       automagically as /dev/xvdd in the VM (virtual machine
       installation guide, page 27, installing the Linux guest agent).

       What I did was to unpack the iso on a share on my NFS server and
       mount the share from the VM to do the installation.

           Thanks that was it :-)!

           Oke now it works, it was installed, and i wanted to try live
           migration..
           so i added the xen-tools iso to the vm with the following
           command:
           /[root@node1 ~]# xe vm-cd-add cd-name=xs-tools.iso vm=lenny-test
           device=xvdd/

           After that, i mounted the iso, in /mnt and i could run the
           installer,
           after the installer i got a message i should reboot.. so i
           did.. and now
           i get the following message trying to start my vm ->

           /[root@node1 ~]# xe vm-start vm=lenny-test
           on=16cae97a-e00d-469d-afc8-e1764c499b42/
           /The bootloader returned an error/
           /vm: 4f0a9956-5cbd-6315-0fc7-89c1b2252370 (lenny-test)/
           /msg: Error from bootloader: too many bootable disks (2 disks)/
           /[root@node1 ~]# /

           any pointers :-)?

           Thanks,
           Peter

               Make sure the VM is running on the pool master, not one

               can't make a console connection to a VM if it's running
           from a
               slave, blank window and the java app nev er starts.

               Temporary fix for this is to make sure the VM starts for
           the first
               time on the pool master with vm-start on=(pool master
           host uuid).
