Has anyone succeeded to create a domU with the Xen build as part of OpenSUSE?
Not with YaST. I were able to create a VM by "hand" for which I have to enable networking by hand. I have postponed updating our Xen-Server thatswhy. Xen is not in a usable state for me.
Ok, i've build my own config file in /etc/xen, but after "xm create" my domU, the domU crashes immediatly. :-(
What do you mean with "enable networking by hand"? What i have to do?
When you try to setup a machine with bridged networking you have to call vif-bridge up domain=<domainName> bridge=xenbr0 ip="<MachineIP>" mac="<MacAddress>" vif=vif<DomainID>.0 Example: vif-bridge up domain=test bridge=xenbr0 ip="1.2.3.4" mac="AA:00:00:00:00:01" vif=vif1.0 If you don't do so the machine will not be able to do any networking which is a bit disappointing. To create my SuSE 10.0 DomU I copied the Dom0 installation to a different logical volume. This copy was able to boot in Xen. I already had a SuSE 9.3 DomU which produces crashs on calls that involve udev (e.g. YaST and hwscan). Since I got m SuSE 10 Box I was not able to see any progress on Xen. No updates via "YOU", no helpfull comments on this list, no progress in bugzilla. For a product that has been part of SuSE 9.3 and that you can see on page one of SuSE 10.0 overview on novell.com (ok - as emerging technologie) I feel a bit puzzled ...
