I'm trying to install a Xen guest domain on a Sun Ultra40 M2 AMD64 box. I had
to manually add a Xen xVM entry to /boot/grub/menu.lst so uname -i would show
"i86xpv" and I had to ignore the syntax errors in virt-install(1M)--the equal
signs (=) on the command line are rejected (e.g., --location=). And the
install source can't be a directory--it has to be a ISO image.
My current problem is I can't access the console during the install.
QUESTION: Any ideas on how to grab the console and complete the install?
- Dan
Here's the session:
# virt-install --nographics --name=amboy-1 --hvm --file=/dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s6
--mac=00:dd:ee:aa:00:01 --location=/export/nv79b.iso --ram=768
What would you like to use for the virtual CD image? /export/nv79b.iso
Starting install...
Creating domain... 0 B 00:18
Domain installation still in progress. You can reconnect
to the console to complete the installation process.
# virsh console amboy-1
No console available for domain
# virsh list
