Hello- all
My first question will sound stupid and will lead into the 2nd ...I have been
using XCP beta for a bit now and really like its stability. .after finally
making the decision to put xen on my nas box (non vt cpu's) i tried unbuntu of
many flavors 12.4 and could not get xapi and xen to work after many many
hours. I finally tossed up my hands and tossed the XCPbeta1.4.90 cd in and had
that installed and talking to my xencenter pc in about 10 mins !!!! big thumbs
up..
I have 3-2tb disks in there i would like to use for storage but they have
residual guid (i dd them all the way----still there) on them from iscsi and
ntfs.....when i went to start parted it aint there...the QUESTION how and where
do i get packages for this (these) installs I am a debian guy so rpm is new to
me but yum looks about the same as apt if i just knew where to go and how to
cheat the version. It is a silly question but having looked for a couple hours
i still havent found an answer to this very basic task at least for xcp.
the second question. i did 4-5 clean installs on that same machine with ubuntu
following their guide and some of the old ones around and as soon as i
installed xapi they would break. There are a few bugs there ...installer doesnt
play nice with lvm if you change your mind and (one wasted install) and a few
others i ran into.. basically as soon i fixed one thing something else would
pop up and they seemed to be mostly openvswitch even when i went regular
bridge. i never did get a xen on ubuntu working with xapi (xen-ok mostly) i
think the scripts are fobar a bit and dependancies need work and im not sure
what ubuntu does with sysv it isnt standard or debian . Is there anyone that
has a working xen 4-1 on ubuntu 12.4 on a older machine, this one has dual Xeon
Naconas 3ghz hyperthreaded (4 cores total-non vt) ...and if so how did you do
it? I really wanted this for a media server and ubuntu would have been a nice
way to go as a one shot with plenty left over for a couple more vm's, I may try
again and try to bug report it.. it looks so simple on the install pages... I
will say this they have a cloud demo on a thumb that was flawless..up untill i
tried to install xapi and couldnt update grub on the thumb.
thank you to anyone that takes the time.
Mx
