What do you mean by Xend does not respond?
I post a request such as:
op=create&config=(vm%20(name%20'j_sles10b9_full')(memory%20512)(vcpus%201)(on_poweroff%20'destroy')(on_reboot%20'destroy')(on_crash%20'destroy')(image%20(hvm%20(kernel%20'/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader')(device_model%20'/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm')(boot%20c)(sdl%201)(stdvga%201)(vcpus%201)))(device%20(vbd%20(dev%20'ioemu:hda')(uname%20'file:/var/lib/xen/images/j_sles10b9_full/hda')(mode%20'w')))(device%20(vif%20(mac%20'00:16:3e:b2:68:1d')(bridge%20'xenbr0')(script%20'vif-bridge')(type%20'ioemu'))))
to xend from xend_post() in libvirt's xend_internal.c, which then
expects to read a response from xend but it never arrives and blocks the
read in libvirt.
Can you give me a very concrete test case for this? The exact
parameters being passed to domain_create() (it should just be an
S-Expression config).
The sexpr is:
(vm (name 'j_sles10b9_full')(memory 512)(vcpus 1)(on_poweroff
'destroy')(on_reboot 'destroy')(on_crash 'destroy')(image (hvm
(kernel
'/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader')(device_model
'/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm')(boot c)(sdl 1)(stdvga 1)(vcpus 1)))(device
(vbd (dev 'ioemu:hda')(uname
'file:/var/lib/xen/images/j_sles10b9_full/hda')(mode 'w')))(device (vif
(mac '00:16:3e:b2:68:1d')(bridge 'xenbr0')(script
'vif-bridge')(type
'ioemu'))))
The url-encoded request sent from libvirt is also provided above. Below
is the relevent content in xend.log.
Thanks,
Jim
