Creating an ostemplate does nothing. [message #71523] Wed, 21 October 2009 21:59 Go to next message

Hi, I successfully installed hypervm/xen and was able to get a Win2003 Web Ed. installed in the VM. I can access it and the Windows VM works fine. However, when I use the create ostemplate, it pauses for a little bit and then the screen refreshes (like something happened). I look in the xen templates and it does not show up.

The main server is CentOS 64Bit and the VM is Windows 2003 Web Edition.

Any ideas?

Enough free space? (/tmp for example and the hdd where your templates are).

Same problem, no Windows OSTemplate is created:

[root@xen1]# ls /home/hypervm/xen/template/win*
/home/hypervm/xen/template/windows-lxblank.img

There is lots of disk space:

[root@xen]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/Dom0-Dom0LV
33G 5.5G 26G 18% /

tmpfs 3.8G 0 3.8G 0% /dev/shm
none 3.8G 144K 3.8G 1% /var/lib/xenstored

This file contains a reference after clicking button:

This message is displayed after clicking button:

"Information: createtemplate successfully updated for win2.vm"

Yet nothing.

There is a log file that you can examine to find out what happens when you press this button. I haven't got access to that information now but it's documented elsewhere in this forum.

You will see by the error messages:

This tells you there is a problem with ntfsfix & ntfsclone. The problem is that ntfsprogs is not installed.

Download from here:
hxxp://packages.sw.be/ntfsprogs/


replace the hxxp with http

install by:
rpm -i ntfsprogs-1.13.1-1.el3.rf.x86_64.rpm

**** you may need to change the filename depending on which you downloaded.*****

Once this is installed run again

now the output again

And voila ostemplate has been created
