[xen-tools-discuss] Using image-dev with correct output in xen-config

[W3SERVE John]

All,
 

We are using xen with xen-tools and xen-shell. Now we use LVM disks to
accommodate our domU's. But we are trying to change to an iSCSI system.

 

Creating the file system through xen-create-image works correct. 

 

We are using this input to generate the domU. With the -lvm=foo, otherwise
it doesn't do much. 

/usr/bin/xen-create-image --ip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx --vifname=viftest
--image-dev=/dev/mapper/EMC4-part1 --memory=128m
--swap-dev=/mnt/xen/EMC4-swap --hostname=test --dist=hardy
--install-method=debootstrap --force --template=/etc/xen-tools/xm.tmpl
--lvm=foo

 

We use iSCSI-disk for the root partition and img file for swap files. 

 

Now the question is, why do I get corrupt xen config files.

Output of the test.cfg file in /etc/xen

#

# Configuration file for the Xen instance test, created

# by xen-tools 3.9 on Tue May  6 15:21:59 2008.

#

 

#

#  Kernel + memory size

#

kernel      = '/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-16-xen'

ramdisk     = '/boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-16-xen'

memory      = '128'

 

#

#  Disk device(s).

#

disk        = [

                  ',sda1,w',

              ]

 

 

#

#  Hostname

#

name        = 'test'

 

#

#  Networking

#

vif         = [ 'ip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, mac=###################' ]

 

#

#  Behaviour

#

on_poweroff = 'destroy'

on_reboot   = 'restart'

on_crash    = 'restart'

The config file is missing:

root    = '/dev/sda2 ro'

disk    = [

                  'phy:/dev/mapper/EMC4-part1,sda2,w',

                  'phy:/mnt/xen/EMC4-swap,sda1,w',

          ]

 

Does anybody have a idea how this problem is fixed.

 

Yours sincerely,
