Hi Brian, -- Could you explain a bit about how you created current DomUs that you are talking about in the email. That would help.
-- Does your hardware support virtualization ? (pass on xm info) -- Could u explain the exact selection steps for : "When I provision, nothing happens" What are u selecting .. ? * How do you do backup today?.. or did it before virtualization. (ConVirt does not have any backup features built in.) * What is your current DR setup, how is your storage structured. ConVirt allows you to keep the config and the disks on a shared storage. When things fail, you can use the shared vm config files on other machines and start the services. (This is very basic approach..and has down time associated with it. .. the less downtime you need, the more sophisticated/complex solution you require.) /Jd --- On Wed, 1/14/09, Brian Krusic <br...@krusic.com> wrote: > From: Brian Krusic <br...@krusic.com> > Subject: [convirt-users] general need and convirt usage > To: xenman-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Date: Wednesday, January 14, 2009, 4:47 PM > Hi all, > > I've tried several management tools and I hope Convirt > is the last. > > I have a mixed RHEL 5.2 and Centos5.2 as my dom0s and > domUs. > > Can I import my current domUs to manage them? > > How do I create a Xen domU VM using Convirt? > > Within the Convirt UI, I choose Provision VM and nothing > happens. > > From the UI, to import a VM do I choose its disk image > file (/var/lib/ > xen/images) or its control file (/etc/xen). > > I've got my domUs starting up and shutting down when > dom0 does the same. > > My goal is to; > > - create backups and snapshots of my domUs. > - be able to either move my dom0s or domUs to anther > physical host > during DR situations. > > I'm sure this post seems tarded to some of you,but > I'm good after > getting a nudge in the right direction. > > Thanks in advance, > > - Brian > > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > This SF.net email is sponsored by: > SourcForge Community > SourceForge wants to tell your story. > http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword > _______________________________________________ > XenMan-Users mailing list > XenMan-Users@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/xenman-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ XenMan-Users mailing list XenMan-Users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/xenman-users
