RE: [Xen-users] Windows on Xen+VT
John,
When I did an "xm create", I got the following error...
Using config file "vmx1".
VNC= 1
(-2, 'Name or service not known')
Error: Error connecting to xend, is xend running?
xen-vt:~/xen/vm # vncviewer-log -listen: Listening on port 11001 (flash
port 10901)
vncviewer-log -listen: Command line errors are not reported until a
connection comes in.
And xend is running. I am able to create a VMX domain using SDL.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Aravindh
