Subject: XCP: Xen tools problem with RedHat VMs?
Date: Wed, 2 Jun 2010 22:31:50 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <201006022231.50818.dwight@supercomputer.org> (raw)
I came across an odd problem with adding the packages from the
xs-tools.iso today. After mounting the ISO in a fresh CentOS 5.4
VM, and doing the .../Linux/install.sh, I ended up with this in
the VM's grub.conf:
----- Start of the new grub.conf entry ----------
title CentOS (2.6.18-164.10.1.el5.xs0.1.1.64xen)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /xen.gz-2.6.18-164.10.1.el5.xs0.1.1.64
module /vmlinuz-2.6.18-164.10.1.el5.xs0.1.1.64xen ro
root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet
module /initrd-2.6.18-164.10.1.el5.xs0.1.1.64xen.img
----- End of the new grub.conf entry ----------
Now, having the Xen hypervisor running in a DomU would be exciting,
but alas, xen.gz doesn't appear to have been installed.
So, I have to conclude that either:
1. I'm missing this new DomU hypervisor.
2. The documentation is wrong.
3. The xs-tools ISO has a bug in it for the 0.1.1 XCP
installation with RedHat distros.
Truth to tell, I was given this VM to examine the problem, and
didn't have time today to doublecheck the xs-tools.iso. I will do
so tomorrow, but I wanted to get some feedback ASAP.
So I'm wondering if this is indeed a bug somewhere? And has anyone
added these tools to a CentOS/RedHat VM running on XCP 0.1.1?
If it is a bug, it would be really nice to get this fixed before
the next release of XCP.
Thanks,
