Thanks Mr. Stefan
Will that crash mainly be due to the kernel ? Since am not sure
about that,else I should try with different image.
When I use via a config file using "xm create libvirt-ttylinux.conf
", then the domain runs stable....
But when I use the virsh -c xen:/// define libvirt-ttylinux.xml" and
"virsh start ttyimage, it crashes after sometime.
The ibvirt-ttylinux.conf file ::
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-164.2.1.el5xen"
ramdisk= "/boot/initrd-2.6.18-164.2.1.el5xen.img"
memory = 64
Maybe try to give it some more memory...
Otherwise I can just guess as to why there is such a difference in this vm
running stable. Are there any significant difference
between an 'xm list' after the 'xm create' and an 'xm list' after
the
'virsh -c ... define'? Did you ever try 'xm new <vm config file
name>'
followed
by an 'xm start <domainname>'?
name = "ttylinux"
disk = ['file:/usr/local/ttylinux-xen-libvirt/ttylinux-xen.img,sda1,w']
root = "/dev/sda1 ro"
vif = ['']
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I give the same Xen kernel parameter here in xml file, and use virsh
to create domain
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My Boot grub file data::
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

root (hd0,0)
kernel /xen.gz-2.6.18-164.2.1.el5
module /vmlinuz-2.6.18-164.2.1.el5xen ro root=LABEL=/1 rhgb quiet
module /initrd-2.6.18-164.2.1.el5xen.img
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why is this difference between the xm (when i destroy the
image,domain is also destroyed) and virsh (domain is not destroyed
while destroying the image) .
xm new <vm definition filename> -> xm start <domainname> -> xm destroy
<domainname> -> xm delete <domainname>
is similar to
virsh ... define -> virsh start <domainname> -> virsh destroy
<domainname> -> virsh undefine <domainname>
Stefan
I doubt that am making some mistake with the xml file .... Is that true?
Kindly give some suggestions
Thanks

You domain crashed here... Is the VM image and kernel in that image
known to work?
