[Xen-users] Problem while installing a VM Guest

["Kumar, Venkat" <Venkat.Kumar@xxxxxxx>]

I get an error while installing VM Guest (Fedora Linux) on Xen.

 

The command used to install the VM guest is “virt-install --accelerate -p --arch x86 --ram 350 --vcpus 2 --name xvm2”

 

The error log looks like this.

Domain installation may not have been

 successful.  If it was, you can restart your domain

 by running 'virsh start xvm2'; otherwise, please

 restart your installation.

What could be wrong with the installation?

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thx,

Venkat
