Hi all, I'm creating a fairy simple paravirt machine under RHEL 5 (Xen 3.0.3, pygrub 0.6). A machine gets created but I see two problems:
1. no graphics console gets enabled (so RedHat VMM does not open it) so I cannot connect to it with vncviewer (am I naive to use vfb fpr a paravirt domU? - libvirt uses it, right?); 2. when I check what config has been used to create the domain (in /var/log/xen/xend.log) I see arguments ("args" or "extra") picked up from a virtual machine created a while age, my present "extra" parameter is ignored. I did regenerate xenstored/tdb and rebooted, still those args appear, drives my nuts :-). I'm actually after the graphics console, but I think both problems are related. Could anybody advise why I get no proper vfb setup (I'd expect a vnc-port vaue appearing in the xen store when it setup properly) and why I get those old args? Thanks in advance, Deem P.S. xm config ============ name = "para-2" memory = "256" disk = [ 'file:/var/lib/para-2.img,hda,w' ] vif = [ 'bridge=xenbr0' ] vfb = ['type=vnc, vncunused=1'] bootloader='/usr/bin/pygrub' vcpus=1 on_reboot = 'restart' on_crash = 'restart' extra = 'ignored' from /var/log/xen/xend.log: ================== [2007-06-12 17:13:56 xend.XendDomainInfo 5445] DEBUG (XendDomainInfo:940) XendDomainInfo.handleShutdownWatch [2007-06-12 17:41:57 xend.XendDomainInfo 5445] DEBUG (XendDomainInfo:190) XendDomainInfo.create(['vm', ['name', 'para-2'], ['memory', '256'], ['on_reboot', 'restart'], ['on_crash', 'restart'], ['vcpus', 1], ['bootloader', '/usr/bin/pygrub'], ['image', ['linux', ['ramdisk', '/var/lib/xen/initrd.NMeE1x'], ['kernel', '/var/lib/xen/vmlinuz.7QoaTW'], ['args', 'nosplash quiet rw acpi=on XXHOST=localhost.localdomain XXLDAP=127.0.0.1 resume2=swap:/dev/mapper/XxxxxxVG-swap vga=791 root=/dev/XxxxxxxVG/root']]], ['device', ['vbd', ['uname', 'file:/var/lib/para-2.img'], ['dev', 'hda'], ['mode', 'w']]], ['device', ['vif', ['bridge', 'xenbr0']]], ['device', ['vkbd']], ['device', ['vfb', ['vncunused', '1'], ['type', 'vnc'], ['display', ':0.0'], ['xauthority', '/root/.xauthfLRNzX']]]]) -- Libvir-list mailing list Libvir-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
