RE: [Xen-users] xen newbie, but not stupid

[GMAIL <theunseenthings@xxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry, but what do you mean “X”?

 

Also, I tried virt-install and its asking me a bunch of questions which I have no idea what to input such as

 

What would you like to use as the disk (file path)?

What is the install location?

 

What is the install location? /home/test

 ERROR:  Install media location must be an NFS, HTTP or FTP network install source, or an existing local file/device

 

Please help. Also, no web gui for xen itself (the actual node and the vps clients)?

virt-manager is for X.  Make sure you're properly logged into X.

Use virt-install for ssh/CLI.  Sounds like you have the proper virt packages/binaries installed.

Cheers,

I'd like to install xen vps system to test out instead of paying Virtuozzo $1k+ for licensing.

I found this article:
http://sysdigg.blogspot.com/2008/01/how-to-install-xen-in-centos-5.html

I installed this on Centos 5 server. I got one tiny problem now:

[root@server ~]# virt-manager
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virt-manager.py", line 304, in ?main()
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virt-manager.py", line 224, in mainimport gtk
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 76, in ?_init()
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 64, in _init_gtk.init_check()
RuntimeError: could not open display

 

Also, that tutorial doesn't explain how to create actual vps

Anyone care to explain? Isn't there some web gui available for xen too? That would be great. Thanks.
