Re: virt-manager crashes Host during installation of guest

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



I definitely think if your new to Xen and are use to doing normal CD installs, then virt-install is the easiest way to go.

Also, you could consider using prebuilt images that are already made depending on your needs.  These can be found on stacklet.com.

Hope that helps,
Matt

What is "daunting" about "virt-install -p"?

Everything is possible, it depends on how deep you want to dig into it. This guy
just wants to get his first Xen VM up for some testing (I suppose). There is no
need to follow lengthy explanations and fail in the end if there is a simple
command available.

This is general belief. I suggest doing some tests. After that you may think
different. ;-) Also, there have been various problems with tap:aio devices in the
various Xen incarnations over time that weren't present in file.
You want to use LVM or remote storage for real world usage, anyway, but that
wasn't the task outlined by the OP.
