Really don't know why and I'm stuck on that one. Once I'm happy with it, I dd it to an lv.

[opensuse-virtual] mounted img file read-only.
by James Pifer 19 Apr '08

19 Apr '08

So I've been converting Windows VMWare VM's to xen domU's using this site as a guide: http://ian.blenke.com/vmware/vmdk/xen/hvm/qemu/vmware_to_xen_hvm.html. I even took a MS VM, converted to VMWare, then to a domU and it worked. I have one PCI Device that is not being found on all the machines I've done Q1) I assume since these are full virtualization that I need the drivers for the specific hardware? I also had my first failed conversion. It fails in the steps replacing the HAL version. When I mount the img file like: mount -o loop,offset=$((63*512)),rw server.img /mnt I can view the file system, but when I try to put the right HAL.dll in place I get: cp: cannot remove `/mnt/WINNT/system32/hal.dll': Read-only file system Q2) Any ideas why this file system is Read-only? This is the same procedure I've done on all my conversions. First 4 of them worked fine. Any help is appreciated.

[opensuse-virtual] xen irc channel

For those that are interested, there is a xen irc channel on irc.freenode.com/org/net #opensuse-xen #opensuse-virtual (just added) they are slow, but that doesn't mean someone won't see your question :) Stephen -- Some people are like slinkies.

[opensuse-virtual] So what's this group really for?
by Per Jessen 18 Apr '08

18 Apr '08

I noticed the creation of this group earlier today and signed up right away - I've been meaning to play around with xen and such for a while, but sofar I've only made it to vmware and virtualbox for playing a bit with Windows. What I sometimes think about is - do any of you guys use virtualisation in production, and if so, are you using hardware with suitable redundancy? I can't help thinking that a machine with a 20 virtual systems will take town 20 servers when it suffers a hardware problem? /Per Jessen, Zürich -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-virtual] Remote managing of Xen
by Claes Backstrom 16 Apr '08

16 Apr '08

Hi fellow virtualization people. Do someone have any tips on remote managing Xen. I have an openSUSE 10.3 xen host that I would like to manage from a openSUSE 11.0 (factory that is). I have tried virt-manager using ssh+xen but I can't get it working. When I try to connect to i with virsh -c xen+ssh://root@192.168.101.4/ Also tried do it locally with: virsh -c xen://localhost I get this error (both remote and local): libvir: Remote error : Cannot allocate memory error: failed to connect to the hypervisor I can connect to it with ssh without any problems (using key validation) I have also tried with virt-manager and this is the error I get (connecting with the GUI): Unable to open connection to hypervisor URI 'xen+ssh://root@192.168.101.4/': <class 'libvirt.libvirtError'> virConnectOpenReadOnly() failed authentication failed Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/engine.py", line 68, in _connect_to_uri conn = self.get_connection(uri, readOnly) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/engine.py", line 322, in get_connection conn = vmmConnection(self.get_config(), uri, readOnly) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/connection.py", line 74, in __init__ self.vmm = libvirt.openReadOnly(openURI) File "/usr/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 144, in openReadOnly if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virConnectOpenReadOnly() failed') libvirtError: virConnectOpenReadOnly() failed authentication failed When I use virt-manager -c xen+ssh://root@192.168.101.4/ I get: libvir: Remote error : Cannot allocate memory Anyone have a tip on what I'm doing wrong?
