Re: Another couple of suggestions

I've installed xen 3 and xen-tools on my ubuntu server and all seems well, until I try to start a client domain. (running on Linux xenserver 2.6.12.6-xen #1 SMP Wed Feb 1 21:23:17 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/ Linux)

I get the error: "Error: Device 2049 (vbd) could not be connected. Backend device not found.

Solution :
I've set "use-ide = 1" in /etc/xen-tools/xen-tools.conf and recreated my images and it seems to work now.
I figure that an IDE server has problems trying to run a SCSI domU.
Just to confirm, changing use-ide = 1 and changing my /etc/init.d/ xend to read:

start)
modprobe loop max_loop=64
cd /dev && /dev/MAKEDEV loop
xend start
await_daemons_up
;;

fixed my problems. I now have three domU's working happily.
