I'm having problems following the howto's for Solaris on CentOS 5.1/Xen. Here is my setup:
CentOS 5.0 installed from CD's, plus patched to 5.1 from yum # uname -r 2.6.18-53.1.4.el5xen # cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 5 (Final) # ls -al /usr/lib/xen-solaris/ -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 2718433280 Jan 17 17:32 sol-10-u4-ga-x86-dvd.iso -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3674931200 Jan 18 11:21 sol-nv-b78-x86-dvd.iso -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 1352660 Jan 18 11:23 unix-78 -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 61181057 Jan 18 11:22 x86.miniroot # ls -al /xen/ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10240000000 Jan 17 17:43 solaris.img # cat /etc/xen/solaris name = 'solaris' memory = '1024' disk = [ 'file:/xen/solaris.img,0,w','file:/usr/lib/xen-solaris/sol-nv-b78-x86-dvd.iso,6:cdrom,r' ] vif = [ '' ] on_shutdown = 'destroy' on_reboot = 'destroy' on_crash = 'destroy' kernel = '/usr/lib/xen-solaris/unix-78' ramdisk = '/usr/lib/xen-solaris/x86.miniroot' extra = '/platform/i86xpv/kernel/unix - nowin -B install_media=cdrom' I've made the change to /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/xen/xend/server/blkif.py and restarted xend When I try to create the VM I get the following: # xm create /etc/xen/solaris -c Using config file "/etc/xen/solaris". Error: Device 6 (vbd) could not be connected. losetup -r /dev/loop1 /usr/lib/xen-solaris/sol-nv-b78-x86-dvd.iso failed # cat /var/log/xen/xen-hotplug.log Nothing to flush. /usr/lib/xen-solaris/sol-nv-b78-x86-dvd.iso: Permission denied xenstore-read: couldn't read path backend/vbd/5/6/node Any help would be appreciated as nobody else seems to have the same problems with CentOS 5 This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ xen-discuss mailing list [email protected]
