CentOS 5 :: CentoOS Xen Host Reboots When Guest Is Booting
Jan 5, 2011
I've found a workaround, but the workaround doesn't make any sense to me.I suspect I am running into a bug of some sort.I've tried to search for a solution, but the search terms are too broad and I can't seem to find anything useful.I have a CentOS 5.5 system that I've set up Virtualization on (presumably Xen, right?). I have a RHEL 5.4 Guest OS using "Full Virtualization" method.When I was installing the RHEL guest, the entire server rebooted just as the RHEL guest was booting for the first time.Thinking that odd, but coincidental, I just let the Host server reboot and then started up the RHEL Guest again.The reboot happened again and in the same spot! When I say the server rebooted, I mean black screen...pause...bios screen.I finally managed to get the RHEL Guest booted by removing the DVD that I had in the DVD drive and disconnecting it from the Guest OS in VMM. Very, very odd. I can reproduce this behavior by simply booting a Guest OS with a DVD in the drive (so far I've tried only RHEL guests).
The reboot happens at the same place in the Guest boot process. It's when RHEL starts the UDEV script. Actually, a few seconds after the RHEL system displays "Starting udev" message. I've looked in both the CentOS and RHEL messages log and found nothing.It's not a huge deal at this moment, but I will be sending these servers out into the field and I can't control what the end users of these systems put in the DVD drives.

I don't want to use image file as disk, but would like to allocate a disk for guest os. say it's /sda6, then do I need install guest os on host os? or can I install while the system is booting and only import a guest os from that? Do I have to mount the disk?

On my bare metal server, I get about 130MB/s read from a software RAID 10 array, but when reading the same file from a VM via NFS over the VirtIO interface,I only get about 40MB/s.
Furthermore, the process for the VM uses >180% CPU on the host, and ~40%, and the 5 min average is ~1.5 on the host and guest. I have dual E5620's so I'm disappointed that the transfer is so slow, as I was expecting at least 90MB/s.
I'm new to being a sysadmin, so if anyone has some tips I can use to increase the transfer rate, and possibility reduce the CPU load as well I'd appreciate it. I'm assuming that 130MB/s is the max speed of two 7.2k HDDs, but if there's any way I can squeeze any more out that would be great too.
System specs:
2x Intel Xeon E5620s @ 2.40Ghz
8GB of RAM @ 1066Mhz
4x 1TB Western Digital Black HDDs in RAID10

Centos 5 was set up for me on my server with VMware and XP SP3 as a guest. I have little to no knowledge of centos (or anything Linux) so i tend to leave well alone but i am trying to get a USB printer to work from my networked pcs through XP - Through VMware - Through Centos5 to the USB port on the back of my server. I am reasonably OK with XP but am not a techie so will probably need to be walked through this.
I can see the printer appearing on Centos' equivalent to device manager and when i print everything seems ok with the XP print queue clearing after a few seconds but nothing prints. At a guess i need some sort of software bridge- (is this SAMBA?).

when I select Vista/Longhorn from my grub list, it shows a black screen, then shows GRUB again. I recently had to reset my menu.lst, so I'm not sure if the settings for the windows option are correct. This is my /boot/grub/menu.lst:
Code:
# menu.lst - See: grub(8), info grub, update-grub(8)
# grub-install(8), grub-floppy(8),

My Windows guests see my VMware Host Only folders as \.hostShared Folders. But when I try to see them from a Linux guest, all I get is frustrated. No permutation of that seems to work. Because the Windows guests see the shared folders I know the host is doing its part in providing them. After two days of not finding an answer on the VMware Workstation forum I finally figured out that the problem really is how to look for them with Linux. With Linux I can turn off all NICs accept the Host Only NIC, put smb://172.16.138.1 into the address bar and see all the shares on the host, but not the folder designated as the host only folder. How to look for the shares with Linux?

I have installed Red Hat Eterprise Linux as a Guest OS using VirtualBox on the Host OS Windows XP SP 2 on my PC. I want to access my local / intranet web site from this Guest OS which is running on the top of on Windows XP, the Host OS. I am not sure as to what IP Settings I need to do. Though I am able to access Internet from both the OSes. The IP of this Guest OS is:
Code:
[root@localhost ~]# ifconfig eth0
eth0

inet addr:10.0.2.15 Bcast:10.0.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

I have installed Microsoft Self Loop Adapter (Autoconfiguration IP Address: 169.254.25.129) on the Host OS Windows XP. There is another adapter: VirtualBox Host-Only Network whose IP Address is: 192.168.56.1. So, how can we access intranet web site from the Host OS to Guest OS and vice versa. I also want to access this virtual Red Hat machine /console from within windows XP using PUTTY application. From Windows XP the Red Hat machine is pinging. But when I use the IP to access the machine through PUTTY it doesn't work.

I have VirtualBox v3.1.0 r55467 running on f12 2.6.31.6-162.fc12.i686. The guest is Windows XP SP3. I need to enable bridged mode for the virtual network interface on the guest. Everytime I enable bridge mode the following error occurs.
Quote:
Failed to start the virtual machine Windows XP. Failed to open/create the internal network 'HostInterfaceNetworking-wlan0' (VERR_SUPDRV_COMPONENT_NOT_FOUND). One of the kernel modules was not successfully loaded. Make sure that no kernel modules from an older version of VirtualBox exist. Then try to recompile and reload the kernel modules by executing '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' as root (VERR_SUPDRV_COMPONENT_NOT_FOUND). When I run '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' i get the following compilation error:

I have tried a few times already the following procedures: start a new installation (each time, I create a new VBox VM) with the Fedora 12 DVD iso attached to the DVD drive of the VM. I select the default setting, like US english, US keyboard, local time (GMT +8), standard installation ... etc). The installation process had been smooth to the screen the system asking for a reboot after installing something like 1100+ packages. Then I click the reboot button offered. The VM restarted but each and every time, it came up with the following error message:
Booting from local disk...
FATAL: INT18: BOOT FAILURE
There was no other error message durint the installation process. It would be very much appreciated if some one can tell me what went wrong and how to solve it. I believe even I try again the same way, it will end up with same result. Is it a software or hardware problem? In case software problem, is it Fedora or VirtualBox?

I have Linux installed on my harddrive, sometimes I run it as the host operating system and sometimes run it as a guest in Windows using VirtualBox. It's a nice ability, I think.
I don't think it's possible with Windows though. Is it because your average distribution includes drivers for everything known to man? Are devices/drivers configured statically in Windows so when somethings changed it breaks?

Is it possible to read the host cpu's temperature from a virtual guest?
(1) Where host = ubuntu desktop and guest = ubuntu server, and
(2) Where host = windows xp and guest = ubuntu server?
Typically I would read the contents of /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature on host ubuntu desktop. I guess its more tricky when running ubuntu on windows host. What I am trying to do is shutdown guest if host cpu temperature is greater than certain value.

I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 desktop in a VirtualBox VM on a Windows 2008 host machine. The end goal is join the the Ubuntu VM to a Windows 2008 domain. I've downloaded likewilikewise-open_5.4.0.42111-2ubuntu1.2_i386.deb se-open_5.4.0.42111-2ubuntu1.2_i386.deb to get the joining of the VM to the domain. But from this point forward, I'm completely lost.
1) How do I implement this likewise package?
2) How do I get files from my Windows 2008 host to the Ubuntu guest VM?
The likewise file is burned to a DVD. When I try to read the DVD, I get the "My Disk" icon but only one file gets displayed. In other words, the DVD the likewise file is burned to has a ton of files. Ubuntu doesn't see any of them expect one .exe file. The /etc/fstab had no entry for cdrom, so I put a line in that says
/dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 rebooted and that didn't do squat. There is no entry /etc/cdrom but there is directory /etc/My Disc. And I suppose that's what gets mounted because I can see one file on that disc. So then I thought, to hell with the DVD drive and I'll just get the Linux guest to see a "shared drive" on the host. I shared out a folder on the host via the Virtualbox "shared folders". But how I get the Ubuntu guest to see this shared folder is as big a mystery to me as is the creation of life.

I have VMWare on a notebook, guest Windows running on Linux host. The network in that virtual machine is configured as NAT. I want to share/transfer files from Linux (host) to Windows (guest). So I leave sshd always running on the notebook, I go into Windows and run an SSH/SFTP program. My Wifi router has address 192.168.1.1, my desktop has address 192.168.1.2 and my notebook has address 192.168.1.3. On the notebook, that SSH/SFTP program connects to 192.168.1.3 (i.e. the notebook itself) and everything works fine. But it's a notebook, and when I leave home with it, 192.168.1.3 is no longer accessible. How can I let the guest OS connect to the host OS when I'm away from my Wifi network?

I have a host with 4 VMs on it. How do I move them to another host? The first host is dying and I want to move the VMs to another host. I tried to copy the files under /vms from one host to another and then copy the files under /etc/libvirt/qemu to the other host. I then ran "virsh" and it does not see them.

pretty comfortable at the command line and in kde. found 2 'supplementary kernel drivers' for virtualbox at slackbuild (thank you heinz!). followed the how-to at slackbuild and built and installed both packages, but additions weren't working. (i thought they were standalone) noticed the 'supplemental' in their description, and so installed the guest additions for linux from vbox site. additions still not working. at this point i start restarting my slackware vm, and redoing everything in various sequences. finally, additions work! but i'm not sure why! critical pieces and sequence for getting guest additions working once i have slackware installed?

I used to be able to access the web server I had running on my guest OS in Virtual Box from my host OS. I also had it set to the network settings of "Host Only Adapter". Then I needed to access the internet directly on the gues OS, so I changed my settings on the guest OS to "NAT" (in virtual box), and in /etc/network/interfaces, I removed the loopback stuff and the static IP I'd put in. Now no matter what I do, I cannot get it back to being accessible from the host os! I even did a completely NEW install of Ubuntu guest OS in Virtual box Guest OS: Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop Host OS: OpenSUSE 11.3 VirtualBox: 3.2.6

With VirtualBox you can share a directory on the host machine with the guest machine. Can you share a directory on the guest machine with the host machine? In my setup the host is Windows 7 and the guest is Ubuntu. Can I have a directory on the Ubuntu file system accesible from Windows?

I have a Ubuntu hosting a Windows XP box (using VirtualBox). The Windows XP box is connected to work using Check Point VPN-1. Essentially this enables me to go to my Windows box and do something like ping comp-at-work and it just works.
I would like to access the VPN resources from the Linux host though. The Windows guest is only there because the VPN client isn't working in Linux. If I could somehow ssh from the Linux host right into my computer at work (using remote desktop would also be great), that would save me a lot of round trips between my Linux host and the Windows guest.

I have RHEL running in Virtual Box and my native OS is Win 7. From a purely educational standpoint, I want to be able to access RHEL from Win 7 over SSH. I download putty but don;t know how to make it do what I want. Ideally, I would like to use the linux command prompt at a minimum and preferably access the GUI apps also. IS this possible? I am just trying to explore and expand my linux knowledge.

Migrating Virtual Guest to Native Host
I have been using ubuntu server and desktop on virtual box for a while now. I have come to enjoy it more than being in Windows. I would like to install it natively. I am wondering. is there any way I can take my virtual machine and apply what I have done there to a new ubuntu install?
I have a ntfs hard disk, will ubuntu resize that for me at install?
Any good apps for backing up all my my firefox data and then applying that to my firefox in ubuntu?
I need to keep windows for some stuff for work, and for some games I like.

FC13/KDE
How do I make a Guest img on hard drive and install Guest on a FC13 host? Is there a set of instruction for doing it on a FC13 host? I went to this website for the FC13 KVM instructions, but near the bottom of page 1 he starts off with making a Guest, Debian Lenny, on ubuntu. Chapter 4 Creating A Debian Lenny Guest (Image-Based).
He has got me so confused at this point on whether he is installing a Fedora or Ubuntu Guest. On that 1st page all steps for making a Host is completed on my Host computer. [URL]. I have got the Windows XP disk in the CD ROM ready to go. If you do a Google search on KVM. Any prior instructions just does not work for Fedora 13
