Hi all, I want to perform a performance test and compare physical and virtual platforms. To ensure comparability I want to install openSuSE 10.3 in the physical machines as well as in the VMware-VMs, in the Xen-DomUs and so on... I've installed Xen as package right from scratch with a fresh installation of openSuSE 10.3 on my computer system. I can boot the system into the Xen-Kernel Now I'm running into problems with setting up DomUs: I'm using the "Create Virtual Machine"-program, for the setup, which is installed along with the Xen-package. It asks for the config of the new VM resp. DomU. At "Operating System Installation" I'm asked to provide an installation source. Therefor I wanted ot use a local iso-image on the desktop. I used the same for installing VMware-VMs. Unfortunately I get teh error message: "installation source is unusable". The same when using the physical CD via the physical CD-ROM-drive. If I choose Full Virtualization instead of Paravirtualization, I get no error message. A VNC-window opens, which indicates, that a process is being started, but the process seems to stuck when loading the iso-image. I have 3 programs available in YaST2 under "Virtualization": 1.) Create Virtual Machines -> doesn't work, like explained. 2.) Install Hypervisor and Tools -> States, that the hypervisor and the tools are properly installed. 3.) Virtual Machine Manager -> Doesn't start and gives the following error message on console: xend [ERROR] Config file does not exist: /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp But that file exists. I've changed the permission, but the Virtual Machine Manager doesn't start nevertheless. Besides I recognize, that the physical hasn't got a NW-link after the booting the xen-kernel. Under "Network Settings" I see, that the normal device isn't connected. When leaving the NW-setting, the link works (although I didn't edit anything). The Xen-daemon is running, as I checked via sudo /etc/init.d/xend start Can anybody tell me whats wrong with my installation?? May there any configuration be missing. Do you have some hints, how I can troubleshoot that issue? I'm almost desperate!!! Thanks in advance and kind regards Stephan -- Der GMX SmartSurfer hilft bis zu 70% Ihrer Onlinekosten zu sparen!
