Problems saving Domain with "xm save"
by Ignacio Verona
Hi,
I'm trying to make a backup image of one of my guest OS, using the
command "xm save" as said in the Wiki and in the Xen documentation, but
the execution of the command is as follows:
[root@aguilaM ~]# xm save aguilaz /xenM/backup/aguilaz-backup2.chk
Error: /usr/lib/xen/bin/xc_save 10 17 1 0 0 0 failed
Is this a known bug? I haven't found anything related to that.
Thanks,
Ignacio

Is there any reason why this module isn't built into the kernel by
default, so folks setting up 2.4-based guest operating systems (e.g,
RHEL3) can avoid building a custom kernel? Is there an easier way
that I have overlooked?
Thanks,

using centos 4.3 ad guest
by Kim Gabrielsen
Hi,
I have successfully installed Xen with fedora core 5 and i
have installed a guest system running fedora core 5.
The guest is running without problems.
I'm now trying to install a guest based on centos 4.3.
i create the guest system using
xenguest-install.py and the process is like this:
What is the name of your virtual machine? centos
How much RAM should be allocated (in megabytes)? 256
What would you like to use as the disk (path)?
/xen/centos
What is the install location?
http://mirror.fysik.dtu.dk/linux/centos/4.3/os/i386/
Invalid URL location given
but why does it give me an 'Invalid URL location given'
error message?
I can see the URL in my browser and i can see the centos
install tree.
i have tried with nfs also using my local centos install
tree using:
nfs:miraculix:/usr/public/distributions/centos43_i386
but it fails.
if i use
nfs:miraculix:/usr/public/distributions/fedora5_i386
it woks perfectly and was the install tree i used for
creating my first guest system.
im using the latest xen version.
hope someone can help me cause i'm pretty much stuck here
and i don't see much point in using xen if i can only run
guest systems based on fedora 5.

Running FC4 as guest in FC5 Xen
by Ignacio Verona
Hi,
this is my first post to the list, and I've been reading it for a while.
Although there are some posts regarding how to instal FC4 as a guest in
FC5, I'm not able to get it running. FC5 guest is ok, but how do I
install an FC4? I've followed all the steps for the FC4 QuickStart, I
don't know which kernel should I load.
First, if using the kernel installed with my FC5 installation
(vmlinuz-2.6.16-1.2096_FC5xen0) the kernel boots, but then it hangs
because it doesn't find the root fs (sda1). I've tried to do a chroot
into my fc4 minimum installation (under /mnt) and install the
vmlinuz-2.6.13-1.1532_FC4xenU, copy it to the host machine and put it
into the configuration, but then, when booting the guest I get a message
saying that the argument is invalid. Looking the logs, y see this:
ERROR: Will only load images built for Xen v3.0
ERROR: Actually saw:
'GUEST_OS=linux,GUEST_VER=2.6,XEN_VER=3.0,VIRT_BASE=0xC0000000,PAE=no,LOADER=generic'
ERROR: Error constructing guest OS
So, what are the exact steps (or the steps which differ from the FC4
XenQuickStart) that should I take in order to get FC4 running under FC5?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Ignacio.

PAE and FC5 Xen on 32-bit system
by Matthias Bayer
Hi,
i have a 32-bit FC5 system running with default xen from FC5 (kernel-xen0-2.6.16-1.2096_FC5 & xen-3.0.1-4).
my system has 4GB of memory but xm info only shows 3584MB available.
i know i need PAE support but the question is if there is a PAE enabled kernel from FC5 32-bit xen systems available already or if i can turn on PAE support easily somehow. for me it's important to stay 'supported' and use only 'officialy availbale' packages.
if there is no such a PAE enabled version available can somebody explain what exactly needs to be done to turn PAE support on, i searched the web and found lots of different instructions but i am not sure which one is the 'correct' one ?
thanks for any help !
regards,
Matthias

MAC to IP, iptables security for xen guests?
by Jon Stone
With each xen guest having its own virtual MAC address, is it possible at
the dom0 level to set iptable rulesets which act as ip based access control
lists per guest?
Essentially the concept would be to limit the IP address per Xen guest, at
the host level, so that a guest domain would not be able to assign itself
the IP address of dom0 and create IP conflicts.
Thanks

Newbie help
by Brandon DeYoung
Hi All,
I'm trying to get RHEL 3 to run as a guest domain and am not sure where to
start.
I have installed FC5 and am able to get FC5 guest domains running using the
niffty tools developed by the Fedora folks.
I can't find a howto anywhere on running RHEL 3 (or 4) as a guest domain.
I'm planning to use these to do some integration testing, so would like to
get these guests as close to RHEL 3 as possible i.e. using a 2.4 kernel,
etc..
Any advise is helpful, if someone has found or written a howto, that is even
better.
Thanks in advance,
~Brandon
