[CentOS-virt] Need Help with Xen Please

[Jason Taylor]

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'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.
