[Fedora-xen] RE: [Xen-devel] Virt-manager issue resolved

[Caz Yokoyama]

Hello Fasiha,

Thank you for summarizing the procedure. I don't have xend running. Here is
the procedure I did.

Install Fedora 11 x86_64, full update.

su

yum install transfig texi2html libaio-devel dev86 glibc-devel.i586

yum install PyXML bridge-utils qemu-img qemu-common

wget
http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/xen/3.4.1/5.fc12/src/xen-3.4.1-5.
fc12.src.rpm

rpm -ivh xen-3.4.1-5.fc12.src.rpm 

cd

cd rpmbuild/SPECS/

rpmbuild -bb xen.spec 

cd ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64

rpm -ivh *.rpm

cat > /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-virt-preview.repo << EOF

[virt-preview]

name=Virtualization Rawhide for Fedora 11

baseurl=http://markmc.fedorapeople.org/virt-preview/f11/\$basearch/

enabled=1

gpgcheck=0

EOF

yum install libvirt libvirt-python python-virtinst virt-manager virt-viewer

rpm -qa | grep virt

cd virt-manager

git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/Jeremy/xen.git
JeremyDom0

make menuconfig

make all

su

make modules_install install

reboot with xen

 

>  Does "virsh list" work 
# virsh list

error: Unable to connect to 'localhost:8000': Connection refused 

error: failed to connect to the hypervisor

 

"/etc/init.d/xend start" failed because /usr/sbin/xend returns 1.

 

Suggestion? I have attached .config.

-caz

 Latest virt-manager doesn't work with the previous version of libvirt on
fc11. You need to build xen and latest libvirt form rpm. Follow the steps
below.

 

Install packages required by rpmbuild:-
# yum install transfig texi2html libaio-devel dev86 glibc-devel.i586
Download xen-3.4.1-1.fc12.src.rpm
# wget
http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/xen/3.4.1/1.fc12/src/xen-3.4.1-1.
fc12.src.rpm
# rpm -iv xen-3.4.1-1.fc12.src.rpm
# cd /root/rpmbuild/SPECS
# rpmbuild -ba ./xen.spec
To install hypervisor and tools
# cd ../RPMS/x86_64
# yum install xen-3.4.1-1.fc11.x86_64.rpm \
xen-debuginfo-3.4.1-1.fc11.x86_64.rpm \
xen-devel-3.4.1-1.fc11.x86_64.rpm \
xen-doc-3.4.1-1.fc11.x86_64.rpm \
xen-hypervisor-3.4.1-1.fc11.x86_64.rpm \
xen-libs-3.4.1-1.fc11.x86_64.rpm \
xen-runtime-3.4.1-1.fc11.x86_64.rpm

To install new libvirt-0.7.0-6
# cat > /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-virt-preview.repo << EOF
[virt-preview]
name=Virtualization Rawhide for Fedora 11
baseurl=http://markmc.fedorapeople.org/virt-preview/f11/\$basearch/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
EOF

# yum install libvirt libvirt-python python-virtinst \
virt-manager virt-viewer

# rpm -qa|grep virt

the following list must be there may be with higher version numbers.

libvirt-client-0.7.0-6.fc11.x86_64
libvirt-python-0.7.0-6.fc11.x86_64
virt-viewer-0.2.0-1.fc11.x86_64
virt-manager-0.7.0-5.fc11.x86_64
libvirt-0.7.0-6.fc11.x86_64
python-virtinst-0.500.0-1.fc11.noarch


All the above steps should be done on the base kernel. Now compile and build
xen with paravirt kernel. Now boot into the new xen kernel after starting
xend run this 

# xm info

to check. now you can use virt-manager in your set-up

Fasiha Ashraf

Could you summarize the procedure? I am trying to run virt-manager on Fedora
11 with Xen-3.5-unstable and Jeremy's Dom0
(git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/Jeremy/xen.git). I am
wondering what option should be good on make on xen-3.5-unstable. I did

Make xen tools

Make install-xen install-tools

What else I need do?

Booting dom0 is fine.

I have got para-virt option enabled by installing vm using through http. the
problem was, i was trying to install it from DVD. Now the issue is it
doesn't find the file on the givern location although i can access them from
the same location in browser. PFA, the screen shots for the problem.
