Xen - fails to start virtual machine

[satimis]

Hi folks,


Debian Etch
No partition on HD


I follow;
http://www.howtoforge.com/debian_etch_xen_3.1


to build Xen. Not much problem encountered during installation


I already have "vserver" directory created.


# ls -la /vserver/
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-09-12 23:19 .
drwxr-xr-x 23 root root 4096 2008-09-12 23:19 ..


# ls -ld /vserver/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-09-12 23:19 /vserver/


coming to;
To start the virtual machine


I don't have "example.com" but "satimis.com"


So I did;

# cp -p /etc/xen/xen1.example.com.cfg /etc/xen/xen1.satimis.com.cfg

# nano /etc/xen/xen1.satimis.com.cfg
changing all "example.com" to "satimis.com"


# xm create /etc/xen/xen1.satimis.com.cfg

Using config file "/etc/xen/xen1.satimis.com.cfg".
Error: Device 769 (vbd) could not be connected. /vserver/domains/xen1.satimis.com/disk.img does not exist.

Please advise how to proceed. TIA

Hi folks,


I found the cause of my problem.


I made a mistake running;

# xen-create-image --hostname=xen1.example.com --size=2Gb --swap=256Mb --ide \
> --ip=192.168.0.111 --netmask=255.255.255.0 --gateway=192.168.0.1 --force \
> --dir=/vserver --memory=32Mb --arch=i386 --kernel=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-xen \
> --debootstrap --dist=etch --mirror=http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian/ --passwd

It should be;

# xen-create-image --hostname=xen1.satimis.com --size=2Gb --swap=256Mb --ide \

Re-run;

# xen-create-image --hostname=xen1.satimis.com --size=2Gb --swap=256Mb --ide \
> --ip=192.168.0.111 --netmask=255.255.255.0 --gateway=192.168.0.1 --force \
> --dir=/vserver --memory=32Mb --arch=i386 --kernel=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-xen \
> --debootstrap --dist=etch --mirror=http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian/ --passwd

# xm create /etc/xen/xen1.satimis.com.cfg

Using config file "/etc/xen/xen1.satimis.com.cfg".
Started domain xen1.satimis.com

Problem gone NOW.


The remaining problem is how to remove "/etc/xen/xen1.example.com.cfg"? Remove it manually?


TIA

Take a look at the xen-delete-image command:

man xen-delete-image
