Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

guest install with loop backed FC5 dvd iso image: msg#00120

Subject: guest install with loop backed FC5 dvd iso image
I am trying to do a guest install of FC5 on a FC5 machine. Xen is running. I am having problems
with setting up a proper guest location for the install.

I did a loop back mount of a DVD iso image for FC5, then shared it with NFS
in theory I want to use this to load my guest in xen.

mount -o loop -t iso9660 FC-5-i386-DVD.iso /mnt

then share /mnt on nfs.


xenguest-install.py
What is the name of your virtual machine? guest1
 How much RAM should be allocated (in megabytes)? 256
 What would you like to use as the disk (path)? /home/myhome/guest1
 What is the install location? nfs:192.168.1.100:/mnt

is the path here correct or do I need a sub directory of the ISO image for location ?

here is the debug:

Starting install...
libvir: Xen Daemon error : POST operation failed: No such domain guest1a
Failed to get devices for domain guest1
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/xenguest- install.py", line 460, in ?
    main()
  File "/usr/sbin/xenguest-install.py", line 451, in main
    start_paravirt_install(name, ram, disk, mac, uuid, src, options.extra)
  File "/usr/sbin/xenguest- install.py", line 331, in start_paravirt_install
    dom = conn.createLinux(cfgxml, 0)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 207, in createLinux
    if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virDomainCreateLinux() failed')
libvirt.libvirtError: virDomainCreateLinux() failed



Has anyone seen this problem and know how to work around it.

thanks,
