6th Xen Test Day is today!
by Dario Faggioli
Hi everybody,
With this mail I kick off (a little late, actually... Sorry, Internet
issues :-( ) the 6th, and most likely _final_, Xen Test
Day for 4.3... come and join us on #xentest on freenode!
We're concentrating on testing PCI Passthrough and CPU hotplug (with
qemu-xen). See the test instructions for more details.
We will be testing RC6 which, if everything goes fine, will the be
released next week as Xen 4.3 (on July 2nd).
For more info, see:
- on Xen Test Days:
http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_Test_Days
- on getting and testing RC6:
http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_4.3_RC6_test_instructions
- for generic testing information:

Ah, and Michael did it again, and built 4.3.0-RC6 for Fedora 18, so it's
even easier, for us Fedora users, to participate!! Find the RPMs here
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=5551851, and refer to
his message of yesterday evening for more details on them.
See you all on freenode, channel #xentest.
Regards
Dario

How to create a Xen PV DomU with a dvd ISO image, using xl/xm
by ranjith krishnan
Hello,
I was looking to create a Xen DomU with a .iso image saved in the hard
disk.
I ran into some trouble with http based install, hence looking at this
option.
This is what i have currently. Just wanted to know if I am on the right
track here, and hoping to get some tips if somebody has similar experience.
I compiled Xen 4.1.5 from source on a Fedora 17 Dom0, and I want to create
DomU images.
I have downloaded the .iso image for Fedora 17. I have a logical volume
xmf17lvm on volume group xenvg.
Here is my install profile ( will use "xm create -c xmf17install" )
name="xmf17install"
memory=1024
vcpus=1
disk=['file:/home/isoimage/Fedora17.iso,xvdc:cdrom,r','phy:/dev/xenvg/xmf17lvm,xvda,w']
vif = [ 'bridge=br0' ]
onreboot = 'restart'
oncrash = 'restart'
boot='d'
builder='hvm'
Its almost 3 AM here, so I am giving this a break today.
Will work on this tomorrow afternoon.
If anyone has any helpful hints or comments regarding my approach, please
let me know.

Virt-manager does not connect to libvirt/Xen? Xen 4.1.5 installed from source on Fedora 17.
by ranjith krishnan
Hello,
I posted this yesterday to the Xen-devel list, posting it additionally to
the fedoraproject list too.
My problem is Virt-manager is unable to connect to the hypervisor
(explained below). However, xm list, xm info work fine.
So I followed the guide
http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_4.2_Build_From_Source_On_RHEL_CentOS_Fedora
and built/installed Xen from source, using grub2-mkconfig to rebuild grub
and was able to reboot
Dom0 with Xen successfully.
Then I installed packages for virt-manager.
# yum install libvirt-daemon-xen python-virtinst
libvirt-daemon-config-network libvirt-daemon-driver-network virt-manager
virt-viewer
Everything got installed except for one package. Got an error message "No
package* libvirt-daemon-driver-network* available."
Now when I start virt-manager, it is unable to connect to Xen and fails
with the following error.
# virt-manager
Unable to connect to libvirt.
unable to connect to 'localhost:8000': Connection refused
Verify that:
- A Xen host kernel was booted
- The Xen service has been started
Libvirt URI is: xen:///
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/connection.py", line 1027, in
_open_thread
self.vmm = self._try_open()
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/connection.py", line 1009, in
_try_open
flags)
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 102, in
openAuth
if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virConnectOpenAuth() failed')
libvirtError: unable to connect to 'localhost:8000': Connection refused
# xm list and # xm info work fine. This means xend is running right ?
Did some searching, found an old thread
http://old-list-archives.xenproject.org/xen-users/2010-06/msg00880.html
Added *(xend-unix-server yes)* to xen configuration file xend-config.sxp
and added *export VIRSH_DEFAULT_CONNECT_URI="xen:///"* to root's .bashrc.
Still no luck.
This might help, # rpm -qa | grep libvirt
libvirt-daemon-xen-0.9.11.9-1.fc17.x86_64
libvirt-daemon-0.9.11.9-1.fc17.x86_64
libvirt-0.9.11.9-1.fc17.x86_64
libvirt-python-0.9.11.9-1.fc17.x86_64
libvirt-daemon-config-network-0.9.11.9-1.fc17.x86_64
libvirt-daemon-config-nwfilter-0.9.11.9-1.fc17.x86_64
libvirt-client-0.9.11.9-1.fc17.x86_64
So in summary,
Built and installed from source Xen 4.1.5, on Fedora 17.
Can boot into Xen Dom0, xm works, xend running, But virt-manager unable to
connect to Xen!
Please help.
I have tried to give as much info as I could. Do let me know if you need
more info.
