  VMware Server
Posted by: hybrid - 2006-02-08, 06:38 PM - Forum: How Do I? - Replies (6)


I'm now playing with the Linux version of VMware Server. I have successfully managed to install it and am starting to add some virtual machines, but I have a slight problem. Trying to connect the virtual machine to the network via bridged mode throws this error:

 

[Image: vmnet0.png]

 

Also, from the debugging output on a console window there is this error:

 



Code:
Vmdb error -37 sending asynchronous update in VmdbCnxRecvStatus
VmhsHostInfoPopulateHardwareNicCB Failed: No permission to perform this operation




 

I've searched Google and the VMware forums for the above error message but I haven't found anything helpful yet.

 

I've also tried running the VMware console as root, with no changes in error message (I've already chown'ed the /var/lib/vmware directory so I don't have to run as root)

 

If anyone could point me in the direction of some information, I would be grateful.

  XEN howto
Posted by: hijinks - 2006-02-07, 07:08 PM - Forum: CentOS - Replies (8)


Ok so XEN just rules.. I use it at work to test new OS builds and such. I can have a complete development enviroment under my current desktop. So here is a quick little howto on getting XEN up and running on centos 4.0 as the host OS and ttylinux as a guest OS. ttylinux is a very stripped down version of linux.. around 16 megs.. so its good to get it running

 

This will go into explaining how to install the binary version of XEN. If anyone is interested in the source howto I can do that too. If you do the source build.. you can custom build your kernel to meet your needs. Xen is a very active project so the latest xen kernel is 2.6.12.6

 

So first, i use a basic centos install with all the development libraries. Its no different really then a basic server install but with the development libraries installed. The xen install script will tell you if something is missing later on. I needed to use apt-get to install 1 package first

 



Code:
apt-get install bridge-utils




 

So lets download and extract the xen binary version

 



Code:
wget http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/Research/SRG/netos/xen/downloads/xen-3.0.1-install-x86_32.tgz
tar zxfv xen-3.0.1-install-x86_32.tgz
cd xen-3.0.1-install




 

Now lets run the install script. This basically just copies over the binaries in install/ dir into /

 



Code:
sh ./install.sh




 

You should see something like this at the end

 



Code:
Checking to see whether prerequisite tools are installed...
Xen CHECK-INSTALL  Tue Feb 7 13:52:19 EST 2006
Checking check_brctl: OK
Checking check_hotplug: OK
Checking check_iproute: OK
Checking check_python: OK
Checking check_zlib_lib: OK
All done.




 

If one of those errors out you'll need to install that package to make it work. Just keep re-running the install.sh script

 

Now for centos and I'm sure other distro's You have to create a ram image to preload the console info into ram before loading the kernel. If this isn't here I got errors about not being able to load the console

 



Code:
mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.6.12.6-xen0.img 2.6.12.6-xen0




 

Now you want to edit your grub.conf.. in centos/fedora there is a symlink at /etc/grub.conf that points to the location of the grub config in /boot. So you want to add this line before the others

 



Code:
title XEN (2.6.12-zen)
    root (hd0,0)
    kernel /xen.gz dom0_mem=65536 noreboot
    module /vmlinuz-2.6.12.6-xen0 root=/dev/hda3 ro
    module /initrd-2.6.12.6-xen0.img




 

Below is my grub.conf file

 



Code:
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title XEN (2.6.12-zen)
    root (hd0,0)
    kernel /xen.gz dom0_mem=65536 noreboot
    module /vmlinuz-2.6.12.6-xen0 root=/dev/hda3 ro
    module /initrd-2.6.12.6-xen0.img
title CentOS (2.6.9-22.0.1.EL)
    root (hd0,0)
    kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-22.0.1.EL ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
    initrd /initrd-2.6.9-22.0.1.EL.img
title CentOS 4.0 (2.6.9-5.0.3.EL)
    root (hd0,0)
    kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-5.0.3.EL ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
    initrd /initrd-2.6.9-5.0.3.EL.img




 

You can put the XEN one at the bottom.. you just want to change the default= line to default boot your XEN kernel. 0 is the first listing and 1 would be the 2nd and so on.

 

Now for fedora there is this thing called tls.. I am not gonna go into why we don't want that in XEN but just disable it. If this directory is present on your system

 



Code:
mv /lib/tls /lib/tls.disabled




 

now reboot and you should be booted up with your new XEN kernel. you can verifiy by running the uname -a command like below

 



Code:
[root@unused xen-3.0.1-install]# uname -a
Linux unused.ip.244.domain.com 2.6.12.6-xen0 #1 Tue Jan 31 16:03:21 GMT 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux




 

Ok great now xen is running. So lets start the xen service and make sure it will run on bootup

 



Code:
service xend start
chkconfig xend on




 

Now we want to make our first guest system. Like i said above I will be using ttylinux which already provides a xen image.. so lets so that to test it out.

 

So lets grab the image. I like to put the images in /opt/xen dir. So this part will think you are using that dir.. feel free to change it since some of these images you can make them as big as you want to meet the space needs of your guest system

 



Code:
mkdir /opt/xen
cd /opt/xen/
wget http://easynews.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/xen/ttylinux-xen.bz2
bzip2 -d ttylinux-xen.bz2




 

Now we need to make the config file to load it all up

 

So this create a new file in /etc/xen/ttylinux and put the contents in like this

 



Code:
kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6-xenU"
memory = 64
name = "ttylinux"
vif = [ '' ]
ip = "192.168.1.3"
disk = ['file:/opt/xen/ttylinux-xen,sda1,w']
root = "/dev/sda1 ro"




 

don't change the kernel = line

you can change the memory line to meet your needs.. just don't go over the memory allocated on your host

the name= line can be changed if you want to use mulitple guests of the same image

don't touch the vif= line

you'll eant to change the ip = line to meet your needs

the disk = line will change if you put the image in anywhere other then /opt/xen

 

Now leave sda1 alone.. my host machine is not using scsi drives.. its just emulation some scsi devices on the guest OS so this is OK. and leave root = the same

 

So now lets start it up and see if it works

 



Code:
xm create -c /etc/xen/ttyLinux




 

You should see a boot cycle and it will go pretty quickly. You should be brought to a command prompt now where you can login with the root/root password

 

Now you can login.. now for me I have to fill out nameserver info and also add the default route. For me it was like this.. feel free to use this dns server if you don't know yours off hand

 



Code:
echo "nameserver 66.193.31.10" > /etc/resolv.conf    
route add default gw 192.168.1.1




 

Later I will explain how to add that into the ttylinux image.

 

Now with your nameserver info and default route added you can now ping hosts

 



Code:
root@tiny ~ # ping google.com                                                  
PING google.com (64.233.187.99): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 64.233.187.99: icmp_seq=0 ttl=242 time=42.1 ms
64 bytes from 64.233.187.99: icmp_seq=1 ttl=242 time=31.0 ms




 

Now you can detatch by using the following key combo ctrl+]

 

now you could view the following to connect to the tiny HTTP server running on your guest

 

[/url][url=http://192.168.1.3]http://192.168.1.3

 

That should show you

 



Code:
Congratulations!

You have successfully installed ttylinux.

See the ttylinux homepage for updates.

For information on how to use the retawq web browser, visit its documentation page.




 

Now if you want to connect back into the running guest OS you would run the following command

 



Code:
xm console ttylinux




 

Hit enter a few times and the prompt should show right back up.. You can get a running list of your domains by running

 



Code:
xm list




 

You can destroy a dom by

 



Code:
xm destroy ttylinux




 

I will get into how to do more advanced builds later.. this is just a stater.. hope you like it.. be sure to join us on #linux-noob on efnet and tell Jy how much he rules

  VMware or XEN?
Posted by: hybrid - 2006-02-07, 04:02 PM - Forum: Polls - Replies (2)

Following from the news that VMware have released a beta version of a new free Server product to try and get more VMware customers, do the Linux-noob community think that XEN or VMware is better?

  can't get connected on Ubuntu
Posted by: grandzu - 2006-02-07, 01:36 PM - Forum: Network Problems - Replies (12)


First of all, hi :)

 

I believe I'm a super noob. I can't get connected to the net in ubuntu. I've tried DHCP and static IP as well. None of it works. I can't ping my router. I've set my IP, gateway, mask in ifconfig and... it does't work. Those settings are good, couse I'm working right now on Win XP. But what is strange, the dhcp dosn't work too (It should, right?). Could somebody help me please?

  How to install Firefox?
Posted by: Daffi - 2006-02-05, 06:55 PM - Forum: Web Browsers - Replies (3)


Hi,

 

I use Fedora Core 4 x86-64 with the pre-installed 64bit Firefox Version

because it's not possible to install the Flash plugin on the 64bit Firefox I dl the 32 bit version

 

It's unpacked on my Desktop, but I dont know how to install it

 

I can't just replace it with my old Firefox, and there is no File in the Folder wich I can run

 

I use Linux since 2 Days, so don't lapidate me for this simple question :P

 

thanks for answers

  kernel update + udev killed console display
Posted by: ThurstonX - 2006-02-05, 05:23 PM - Forum: Fedora Core Release 4 - Replies (1)


Hi all.

I've just installed FC 4 (for the 3rd time) in order to isolate a problem with the console display. Briefly, running up2date or yum breaks the monitor. The display is fine through the boot, even looks like 1280x1024, but when it hits the xdm (gdm?) the screen is whacked. A green line crawls across the top left to right, slowly spreading. The middle is white and the bottom fifth or so is blue.

 

During the post-install/initial boot setup my video card (3Dfx Voodoo 4500) and monitor (Acer AL1715) are both recognized. All is fine after the install.

 

On my first two attempts to build this box I grabbed everything in up2date. Result: same busted monitor symptom. The latest kernel (kernel-2.6.15-1.1830_FC4) was not out during the first two installs, so I was grabbing the one prior. This time I updated yum to use livna and installed yumex and launched the latter, forgoing up2date. The latest kernel and kernel-devel rpms were listed.

 

This time around I only selected the kernel and kernel-devel rpms. The dependency check required udev-071-0.FC4.2, so what choice did I have. I ran the update, rebooted, whammo! same prob. Since booting to the original kernel doesn't help, I gotta finger udev as the culprit. Erasing the udev rpm screws the system royally (no X) as one might suspect, so I added udev* back using yum. reboot. Jacked-up monitor returns. Familiarity begins to breed contempt.

 

I can VNC into it fine, so again, all signs point to udev (vs. some xorg thing; went down that road on install #2). Some Linux rag article on udev states that /etc/dev will be repopulated dynamically on every boot. Since I have no /etc/dev, perhaps he meant /etc/udev. Regardless, I'm clueless how to proceed. Another install seems ... stupid. Hoping one of you smart, not-pissed-off folks can lend a hand.

 

In the meantime, that PC's got some BOiNC # crunching to do. In WinXP. It's a sad day. I hope I awake to a nugget of truth under my virtual pillow.

 

TIA.

 

PS - Tried searching bugzilla.redhat.com but that site is about as whacked as my console.

 

PPS - under Desktop | System Settings | Display the video card and monitor are correctly identified (this gleaned from a VNC session)

 

PPPS - I'm currently running the first major rpm update (using yum | yumex), in which the latest xorg-X11 stuff is included. I did this as part of install #2 and it did not help, which leads me to think that this sticky post: [/url][url=<___base_url___>/index.php?showtopic=1808][/url][url=<___base_url___>/index.php?showtopic=1808]https://www.linux-noob.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=1808

does not apply. Since the # of rpms is massive and yumex appears hung (probably just churning away in the bg), I can't say this for certain, however.
