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 -----Original Message----- From: centos-virt-bounces at centos.org [mailto:centos-virt-bounces at centos.org] On Behalf Of Kai Schaetzl Sent: Sunday, November 16, 2008 4:31 A To: centos-virt at centos.org Subject: Re: [CentOS-virt] Need Help with Xen Please Jason Taylor wrote on Sat, 15 Nov 2008 17:00:46 -0700: > 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. 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.
