Installing Xen Host
by James Gilliam
Hello All
I've looked high and low for a set of instructions for installing a xen host
from a Live CD distrobution.
To make a long and complicated story short.. I have FC5 install in w/the xen
kernel and what to install BackTrack 3.0 as the virtual system. Has anybody
successfully accomplished this.
Thanks
James

I think i will use a combination of traditional backup within my domU
for the absolutely important files,
e.g. /etc, databases and other data.
In Addition i will take an LVM Snapshot or something similar.
I've read (xensource mailinglists) that LVM Snapshots aren't ready for
production use at this time.

Hello Rafiq,
Yes i try with "console=ttyS0 console=tty0" and "console=ttyS0 console=tty".
No way to get a char in the remote logfile from the xen server ?
Xen Server it's FC5 with 1 serial adapter and remote Node is FC4 with 2
serial adapter and ttywatch.
Current I have this grub config:

RE: [Fedora-xen] Unmodified 2003/2000/FC5 on XEN 3.0.2
by Ahamed K, Rafiq (HP)
Hi Yong,
Yes! I have tried windows 2003 and windows 2000 also and same problem prevails "on both". In the unsafe mode I can see that the drivers load on Windows 2003/2000 SDL VM console until they load mup.sys.
I am not able to connect the serial output. I have followed almost all the techniques given on the net for serial communication. This is my grub info.
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/xen.gz dom0_mem=1024096 com1=115200,8n1 sync_console
module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6-xen0 ro root=/dev/sda1 console=ttyS0 console=tty0 pnpacpi=off
module /boot/initrd-2.6.16-xen0.img
Just to clarify, the serial output is basically connecting the serial port of the XEN system to remote host and capturing the output right? (the way we debug load time drivers??)
And my xm info is

Hi Rafig,
So you have tried Windows 2003 and 2000? And they all hang with the same phenomena?
Did you try to get the serial output when VMX hang? The qemu-log seemed okay. Could you tell more information such as Xen0 memory size and the VMX config you used? These could help developers to shoot the bug. And you can also report bugs to Xen directly. :-)
I didn’t try them before. But I am sure someone has successful experience of creating Windows XP VMX with Xen 3.0.2/
Best Regards,
Yongkang (Kangkang) 永康

I can see that Windows Loads in VM and when I run in safe mode it reaches until loading
multi(0)¥disk(0)¥rdisk(0)¥partition(1)¥Windows¥system32¥drivers¥Mup.sys
After this it hangs.Attached is the qemulog.
Note : These VM's are running out of a complete disk (/dev/sdb), which has working installation of Windows on it!
I am running FC5 along with Xen 3.0.2 (tried unstable too) on Intel XEON VT-x server!
Any help would be great! Rafiq

Need help for serial console..

Hello,
I try to setup a serial console to a remote node with a null modem cable.
Becose there is no char in the logfile on remotehost ?
On remote Node I have install ttywatch. ttywatch is running as daemon with
this option from /etc/ttywatch.conf:
--name xen0 --port /dev/ttyS0 --bps 38400 --ipport 3001
--name xen1 --port /dev/ttyS1 --bps 38400 --ipport 3002
I can telnet to port 3001 and 3002.
On the Xen Node I have setup this grub.conf:
title Fedora Core (2.6.16-1.2096_FC5xen0)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /xen.gz-2.6.16-1.2096_FC5 dom0_mem=512000 com1=38400,8n1

what's wrong ?
