Error when I try to create a Windows VPS/Xen:

Can not create XEN VPS(new_xen_install_needs_lvm_check_lxlabs_website_for_more)

/dev/sda3 460G 6.0G 430G 2% /
/dev/sda5 8.4G 154M 7.8G 2% /tmp
/dev/sda1 518M 29M 463M 6% /boot
tmpfs 1.9G 0 1.9G 0% /dev/shm
none 1.9G 41k 1.9G 1% /var/lib/xenstored

My host set this up for me. I have experience with OpenVZ but not XEN, this is my first attempt at Windows VPS's.

If anyone can help me with this I would be greatly appreciate.

I don't know how to create a LVM (if that is what the problem is). Please give detail instructions.

You wont be able to convert to lvm, you have to set up lvm while installing centos.
But if you have free space, create an LVM partition on it (delete the current xen space partition and create new lvm logical group), and mount it where it is needed. That should do the trick.

How to create LVM can be found here: http://bit.ly/sm2ydU

This server has been reformatted with LVM apparently but still the same error:

fdisk -l

Is it the exact same error message or a different one? Did you create a logical group and then use all of that space for the root LVM? If so you don't have any space to create new Xen VMs.

From the shell use lvdisplay. If you really want to pay for help, I may be available. I would prefer that I have some kind of out of band remote access like a KVM or IPMI where I could install from scratch. PM me with details.
