[CentOS-virt] Need Help with Xen Please

[Jason Taylor]

Hello Kai:

Thank you for your feedback. I apologize for not using the right
terminology. As mentioned I followed the tutorial at
http://www.howtoforge.com/centos_5.0_xen  so that shows all the commands I
used.  When I tried to install a guest/domU I get the previous mentioned
error. Virt-install doesn’t seem to work as it seems to require a console
which I do not have. All I have is root access to the server via SSH (not in
same physical location as server)

Jason

Then try without making it connect to the console. (I may have misunderstood

what you mean by "create", note, "create" means *starting* an existing VM.
see 
below.)

I looked at the how-to, it uses virt-install. That works very well. What 
exactly did you install as a domU? What where your commands? And when do you

get that error, when you run virt-install and it wants to attach to the 
console or once it's finished and you start the VM up?

One thing: you want to use the Xen 3.2 rpms provided by xen.org for serious 
production work on CentOS and not the one coming with CentOS. Suggest you
read 
the archives of the list for all tips and caveats.
