One of my co-workers needs an ubuntu system. As i don't want to sacrifice my SuSE machines, so i tried to create a virtual machine with XEN, but i run into strange things... # xm create kc3029.cfg Using config file "./kc3029.cfg". Error: Not enough memory is available, and dom0 cannot be shrunk any further (while 10GB still available) ====================================== The config file contains: name="kc3029" description="Ubuntu1010" memory=1024 maxmem=1024 vcpus=1 on_poweroff="destroy" on_reboot="destroy" on_crash="destroy" localtime=0 keymap="en-us" builder="hvm" device_model="/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm" kernel="/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader" boot="d" disk=[ 'phy:/dev/xen-disk/kc3029-system,hda,w', 'file:/srv/distro/iso/ubuntu/maverick-dvd-amd64.iso,hdc:cdrom,r', ] vif=[ 'mac=00:16:3e:30:29:00,bridge=br0', ] stdvga=1 vnc=0 vncunused=1 extid=0 apic=0 acpi=1 pae=1 serial="pty" ================================================ So i do not request a huge amount of memory And there is still enough left: # xm list Name ID Mem VCPUs State Time(s) Domain-0 0 9952 4 r----- 107959.4 kc3004 1 512 1 -b---- 2089.6 kc3005 2 512 1 -b---- 27442.3 kc3006 28 512 1 -b---- 1194.9 kc3008 3 1024 1 -b---- 2428.8 kc3020 4 1024 1 -b---- 2053.6 kc3021 5 1024 1 -b---- 23118.5 kc3024 6 512 1 -b---- 23052.4 kc3031 7 4096 4 -b---- 23812.6 kc3032 8 1024 1 -b---- 25811.7 kc3036 9 1024 1 -b---- 21413.5 kc3037 10 512 1 -b---- 22452.5 kc3042 11 1024 1 -b---- 41182.4 kc3043 12 750 2 -b---- 1701.6 kc3061 13 1024 1 -b---- 21170.0 kc3062 14 1024 1 -b---- 20719.1 kc3063 15 1024 1 -b---- 1696.1 kc3064 16 1024 1 -b---- 22125.1 kc3065 17 750 1 -b---- 23667.1 kc3066 18 750 1 -b---- 23026.6 kc3067 19 750 1 -b---- 23504.7 kc3068 20 750 1 -b---- 22274.4 kc3069 21 750 1 -b---- 27219.2 kc3074 22 512 1 -b---- 1094.7 kc3081 24 512 2 -b---- 22641.1 kc3084 25 512 1 -b---- 23772.0 kc3085 26 512 1 -b---- 22659.9 kc3086 27 512 1 -b---- 23862.8 ==================================== About the system: =================================== # uname -a Linux kc0146 2.6.34-12-xen #1 SMP 2010-06-29 02:39:08 +0200 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux =================================== # rpm -qa |grep xen xen-doc-pdf-4.0.0_21091_05-6.6.x86_64 kernel-xen-2.6.34-12.3.x86_64 xen-tools-4.0.0_21091_05-6.6.x86_64 xen-4.0.0_21091_05-6.6.x86_64 xen-doc-html-4.0.0_21091_05-6.6.x86_64 xen-libs-4.0.0_21091_05-6.6.x86_64 patterns-openSUSE-xen_server-11.3-22.1.x86_64 =================================== last lines from /var/log/xen/xend.log attached. Any suggestions? (btw, making a domu with yast or virt-install doesn't work either) Kind regards, Hans
