Michael:
I was following the tutorial at http://www.howtoforge.com/centos_5.0_xen I was not aware that virt-manager is GUI only.
Xend does start and I can do everything listed in the tutorial until I get to the virt-manager part.
What command line do you use to create a virtual server with virtsh? I am running as root, so that shouldn't be the issue.
The hardware does support virtualization and that is switched on in the BIOS.
Thanks in advance,
Jason

I am new to Xen and have been having problems getting it to run properly
on
CentOS 5.2. One thing to note is that the base Xen installs fine it seems but when trying to create the virtual instance (domU) it says it cannot connect to the console. I have looked up the error but cannot find
anything
specific to try. I currently only have access to the server remotely via SSH, if this matters at all.
I'm a Xen newbie myself, but it has worked fine for me so far using GUI tools and on a server that supports hardware virtualisation.
I suppose the first questions are:
Is xend running?
What tools are you using to create domU? Forgive me if I'm telling you something you already know, but on the command line your options are virsh and xm, virt-manager is GUI only AFAIK.
Are you working as root? You probably need to be. _______________________________________________ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt
