Has anyone attempted to run a generic (read non Linux/Windows)
paravirtualized guest OS instance on XCP -0.1.1? A good example would
just be building mini-OS and running it as a guest instance on XCP. My
company has PV OS prototype version of one of its products that has been
running on non-XCP versions of Xen and I would like to evaluate whether
XCP is a suitable platform. In order to do this I need to get past some
pretty basic questions and issues. For example, if you were to run
mini-OS in a VM, what template would you start with? I started out with
"Other install media" but it is unclear if that is appropriate. I was
able to create the guest instance shown below, but that leads to the
other questions, i.e.
1) How do the old config file startup parameters for my OS instance
map to the new 'xe' syntax, e.g.
memory = 2048
vcpu=1
on_crash = 'coredump-destroy'
2) How do I connect to the serial console on the OS instance? For
instance, when I do:
[r...@xenserver-wvgdltag ios]# xe console-list
uuid ( RO) : 0d5dfe39-c2e7-c042-6a2c-b02ca0837cd8
vm-uuid ( RO): e4a25680-8b48-50d2-18bf-a527b4a959c7
vm-name-label ( RO): PVGonXen
protocol ( RO): RFB
location ( RO):
https://171.69.216.75/console?ref=OpaqueRef:8013f91e-ffc0-2d72-8883-d0d1
4d38130a
.
.
The https connection is not found when I try to open it. Basically, I
want to do the equivalent of 'xm console uid' or 'xm create -c uid'.
Thanks for your help,
Phil
