I am about to install debian 3.1r1 (as per your howto) and because as soon as it is installed I will then install Xen3.0 as per yourhowto what should I be aware of during the install of sarge that will save time after when I come to apply the xen3.0 howto. many thanks qiu
Install Debian as per the first two pages of the Debian "Perfect Setup", and then follow the Xen tutorial.
re sarge perfect setup and Xen by mistake I have setup exim mail server as the page where it says Continue installing libc-client without Maildir support did not appear so when I telnet port 25 i see exim has been set up how to remove as i want to go ahead and follow your page to install xen. thanks qiu
Don't worry about Exim, it is the default MTA on Debian. You can go on. If you want to replace it with Postfix later on, you can do the steps described here: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_debian_sarge_p4
xen howto--static ip I connect by dhcp but my ip in my ethernet router is 192.168.1.64 this then connects me to a static ip from my ISP. What my question is should my network/interfaces look like this starting wih address 192.168.1.64(this is the ip IN MY ROUTER) or address 88.96.109.71 (my actual static ip address FROM isp) and the rest of the lines as per the status page IN my router address 88.96.109.71 (my actual static ip address)? netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.0.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 gateway 62.3.83.5 THANKS qiu
Your virtual machines are in a local network behind a router, right? Then you should give them IP addresses from your local network that differ from your router's local IP adress, i.e. do not use 192.168.1.64 as it is already taken by your router. You could use 192.168.1.65 instead if it is free.
OR may be someting like this might ok ce eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.50 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.0.0 broadcast 192.168. 1.255 gateway 192.168.1.1 (LOCAL IP ADDRESS) dhcp RANGE 1.64 to 1.254 but the address in the router stays at 192.168.1.64 qiu
Try this: Code: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.50 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.[B][COLOR="Red"]1[/COLOR][/B].0 broadcast 192.168.[B][COLOR="Red"]1[/COLOR][/B].255 gateway 192.168.[B][COLOR="Red"]1.64[/COLOR][/B]
xen howto--static ip Many thanks for your post. I tried what you said and in worked ok etc/init.d/networking was a success. in reslove.conf the wording I changed to search server the original nameservers were 212.23.6.100 212.23.3.100 192.168.1.1 i changedthat to 212.23.6.100 212.23.3.100 when doing apt-get update could not resolve so changed to 212.23.6.100 212.23.3.100 192.168.1.64 no joy could not resolve 212.23.6.100 212.23.3.100 192.168.1.50 no joy then 212.23.6.100 212.23.3.100 192.168.1.1 113 no route to host i noticed that the IPV6 over IPV4 tunneling driver loaded. I was able to do apt-get remove exim4 exim4-base lpr nfs-common portmap pidentd pcmcia-cs pppoe pppoeconf ppp pppconfig any ideas about resolv qiu ps also i did echo xstation.4096.net > /etc/hostname /bin/hostname -F /etc/hostname
Try this in /etc/resolv.conf: Code: nameserver 145.253.2.75 nameserver 193.174.32.18 nameserver 194.25.0.60
xen 3.01 well I found a error on my part that was I gave xstation.4096.net to hostname it should be xstation. However this name no diffrence apt-get will not resolve or says temporaty cannot resolve. eth0 is fine link-up 100Mbs full-duplex lpa 0x45E1 my source list is like so: #deb file:///cdrom/ sarge main deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ stable main deb-src http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ stable main deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main seems strange. qiu
Did you change /etc/resolv.conf as suggested? What's the output of Code: ping -c4 www.google.com and Code: ping -c4 216.239.59.99 ?
xen 3.01 unkonwn host www.google.com yes i put the nameservers you gave me in 216.239.59.99 56(84) bytes of data from 192.168.1.50 icmp-seq=1 destination hosunreachable this happens 4 times 4 pk transmitted 0 received +4 errors 100% loss qiu
Ok, it's not a problem with domain name resolution; you simply don't have a network connection. What's the output of Code: ifconfig on vm01? Did you install the Xen binary or from the sources? What does the configuration file for the virtual machine look like?

And your router is 192.168.1.64? What's the output of Code: ping -c4 192.168.1.64 ? What's the output of Code: route -nee ?
xen 3.01 192.168.1.64 yes router ping -c4 192.168.1.64 from 192.168.1. 50 icm sq 9 destination host unreachable route -nee destinastion gateway genmask flags metric ref us Iface window 192.168.1.0 0. 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 u 0 0 0 eth0 0 00 0 0 192.168.1.64 0.0. 0.0.0 ug 0 0 0 etho 192.168.1.0 =destination 192.168.1.64= gateway genmask=255.255.255.0 fCHANGED GATEWAY TO 192.168.1.1 works fine (as amentioned in post 7)
Then 192.168.1.1 seems to be your gateway. Try Code: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.50 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.1.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 gateway 192.168.1.[B][COLOR="Red"]1[/COLOR][/B] in /etc/network/interfaces and restart the network: Code: /etc/init.d/networking restart
